Valérie Perrin and Claude Lelouch: their haven of peace nestled in a popular corner of Paris, a chic cream and white interior
The rest after the ad
If Claude Lelouch is a successful director, his wife, Valérie Perrin, has nothing to envy him. The novelist saw her second work, Change the flower waterselling more than 1.3 million copies in France. As she promotes her new novel Tata (editions Albin Michel), she delivers herself in the columns of Gala (on newsstands September 26). The opportunity to discover more about the place where the author and her husband live. In fact, we learn that Valérie Perrin and Claude Lelouch have lived together for 18 years, in a popular corner of Paris.
If they said yes at the town hall of the 18th arrondissement, on Saturday June 17, 2023, it is because the 86-year-old director and the author live there. It’s in their “huge cream living room” that Valérie Perrin receives GalaIn this haven of peace, nestled on the heights of Montmartre. She has been writing for two years Tata within these walls, “nestled in one of the large white leather armchairs” from their Montmartre living room, her computer on her knees. Our colleagues speak of a calm place and a certain warmth which nevertheless does not prevent her from stressing. But so far the work is paying off, since the novelist has seen her first three books s sold more than three million copies.
Valérie Perrin: Is Claude Lelouch’s wife from a bourgeois background?
If it is in Paris that they live, it is another place that inspired Valérie Perrin to Tata. This fourth work evokes Gueugnon, in Burgundy, a small town which is none other than the land of his childhood. The author grew up there in a family of professional footballers. Then, she dropped out of high school in her first year before moving to Paris, living on odd jobs. Her meeting with the man who would become her husband, Claude Lelouch, would change the course of her life. However, her modest origins never left her. “With Claude, we have the same obsessions, the Shoah, meetings, love. Our characters are very important, but those of Claude come more from a bourgeois background, like Claude Sautet. Mine tend to be nurses, shoemakers or animal shelter keepers. We do not come from the same social background, we did not have the same childhood and this is felt in our writings“, she recently said, Parisian.
And if her husband will never leave the Montmartre district, to which he is so attached, Valérie Perrin bought a small house two years ago a few kilometers from Gueugnon. A return to the sources, and a great inspiration.
