After Stéphane Plaza who left the capital for the peace and the great outdoors of Brittany, it is now the turn of Valérie Damidot to move. The TV host, who has just released her magazine Damideco, told Star TV that she plans to go and live elsewhere with her companion, Régis Viogeat.
“We already wanted to leave Paris before the pandemic but here we are in the process of organizing everything“, she explained. But unlike her colleague Stéphane Plaza, it is not among the Bretons that the mother of Roxane and Norman (28 and 27 years old) will start a new life. She continues:”We found the house of our dreams in Angoulême. The one we rented at the time during the filming of the series Victory Bonnot is on sale and we are doing everything to buy it. Anyway, in eighteen months maximum, we will no longer be living in Paris. I can do everything remotely. I will have my vegetable garden, my dogs. Happiness !”
The one who animates a new season of The most beautiful Christmas (TFX) in the company of chef Juan Arbelaez, husband of Laury Thilleman, also spoke about the release of his magazine, published on November 24: “When I was animating D&CO on M6 I had been offered it but I refused. I did not want to put my name without immersing myself in it completely. There, it is a real collaboration. I put forward talented craftsmen. We will find pages that will make you dream, but we especially tried to address all budgets. We continue to democratize the decor. ” Readers will also find illustrations by Roxane Damidot, throughout the pages.
Very close to her family, Valérie Damidot recently lived under the same roof as her children and her father, who died in July 2019. “In 2010, I bought this house for my family. On the ground floor, my daughter had her office, her bedroom, her bathroom, and I have my bedroom there; the first is my son Norman, the second is my boyfriend’s office, and my father lived with us the last two years of his life “, she had explained. But since the children left the nest, the decorator and her companion have found themselves in a large empty house.
