, Patricia Casini-Vitalis evaluated the objects on the show for a long time before slamming the door. The departure of Sophie Davant obviously did not please the auctioneer who preferred to follow the host rather than work alongside Julia Vignali.
“That was a real crush. She’s really a friend,” she had notably confided in the columns of Current wife in April 2021 before adding: “We rarely see each other outside. It happened to us, but we have crazy schedules. He’s definitely someone I would enjoy continuing to see if I wasn’t doing the show anymore.”

“Reality TV on a public channel”
Since her departure, Patricia Casini-Vitalis has not kept her tongue in her pocket. Last January 30, it was in Friday Weekly that the former lawyer was talking about the cult program of the second channel. “It is reality TV on a public channel, but it does not reflect the reality of the art market. We maintain the suspense, we raise the stakes even if the object does not justify it. A bronze by Villanis sells for several thousand euros in the show. In the facts, it’s worth more like €700, €1,000 at the most”, she had said. Revelations that did not please everyone… starting with Enora Alix.
Annoyed by the comments of her colleague, the other auctioneer of the show did not mince her words during an interview granted to Ciné Télé Revue this Tuesday, February 20, 2024. When our colleagues asked her reaction to the departure of Patricia Casini-Vitalis, the latter replied: “I didn’t ask myself too many questions about Patricia’s recent departure, it hasn’t changed my daily life“. A statement that speaks volumes…
For her part, the main person concerned wanted to explain herself. “Dear friends, during these seven years, I loved transmitting everything I knew on the show Affaire Conclue”, she wrote on Instagram. “I would add that there are also wonders in this show that are bought at very low prices! I embrace you tenderly”.
