Thomas Dutronc was born in Paris on June 16, 1973, and that’s where he chose to make his life. Now 51, the singer has never really left the capital. During the (very) difficult last years of his mother, Françoise Hardy, he took care of her by visiting her almost every day in her duplex at 16th district of Paris.
The fifty-year-old has chosen the center of Paris to build his nest. As indicated by Libération, which dedicated a portrait to him, Thomas Dutronc lives precisely between the city hall and the Île Saint-Louis, in a duplex decorated in his image.
A “colorful” and “impeccably tidy” apartment
Calm, sober, and elegant. This is how many Thomas Dutronc fans might describe the artist. Apparently, his home resembles him. The journalist who had the privilege of visiting described it as “colorful,” “welcoming,” and “impeccably tidy.” It is not specified whether things had been rearranged especially in anticipation of this interview, but in any case everything seems in perfect harmony.
In the apartment, everything is also designed to ensure that you don’t get bored. At Thomas Dutronc’s, you’ll find a pinball machine and two table football tables. As someone who makes fun of his “extra pounds” and who “yo-yos”, the bon vivant also has a “fridge that’s always full”.
Thomas Dutronc: houses everywhere?
The artist’s home is on the fifth floor and has a magnificent view of the left bank. He is not there all the time. He also spends a lot of time at his partner’s house, whose identity, profession, age and address he is keen to keep secret.
Unlike his parents, who were rather homebodies, the singer of I like Paris more is a true nomad. As a teenager, he lived with his parents Jacques Dutronc and Françoise Hardy in a townhouse near Parc Montsouris where each had their own floor. As soon as he became a guitarist, he loved wandering the roads during tours. It’s a bit like going to summer camp, there’s laughter, there’s drinking, it goes on until the end of the night”one of her friends told Libération. Apart from that, Thomas Dutronc also spends a lot of time in Corsica, between Calvi and Ile Rousse, not far from where his mother also spent a lot of her time. His father still lives on the Isle of Beauty.
