In Love is in the meadowit was time to get to know Alain, this touching 72-year-old retired organic pig breeder who now does equi-tourism in Brittany. With his cowboy look, Alain leads a very simple life in an old stable converted into a cabin. There is running water but he lives without a fridge or electricity (or almost the latter being produced by solar panels).
Regarding his romantic past, Alain has been married twice. First at the age of 22 with the mother of his first three children then with a woman 17 years his junior who left for a younger man. A separation that hurt him a lot, so much so that he was followed by a shrink. Eternal optimist, Alain nevertheless still believes in love and hopes to find it thanks to the romantic program of M6. In the episode of Monday, September 19, the farmer was able to see that he was successful in any case since he received several letters. He finally decided to meet five contenders. And among them, two stood out and caught his eye.
First there was Marie Ange, with a hippie look, who loves nature and simple things. Physically, it was that she liked the candidate. Another asset, his humor and his naughty side which was already reflected in his letter. “Will you be able to break me“, she had written to him. So many things that did not make Alain hesitate to invite her to his home for a few days.
However, Marie-Ange will have competition in the person of Katherine on whom he had completely flashed on reading his mail. The latter had made a lot of effort to stand out and showed originality by sending him a little notebook full of little words and photos of her. At the time of meeting, the crush was confirmed for one and for the other. Alain, usually a joker and at ease, was disturbed by it while plunging his eyes into those of his suitor. It is therefore quite naturally that Catherine obtained her ticket for the rest of the adventure.
