The rest after the ad
Renowned French sailor and environmental activist, Maud Fontenoy is best known for her exploits at sea, having completed several solo crossings. In 2003, for example, she rowed across the North Atlantic, from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon to La Coruña, becoming the first woman to accomplish this feat! In addition to his maritime exploits, Maud Fontenoy is also actively committed to protecting the environment. She created the Maud Fontenoy Foundation in 2008 to raise public awareness, particularly among young people, of ecological issues and the preservation of the oceans. The author of several works regularly appears in the media to promote actions in favor of the environment, but it is on a completely different subject that she spoke in an exclusive interview granted to our colleagues at Tele-Leisure Tuesday November 5. The one who enjoys a peaceful life surrounded by her family between mountains and sea near Nice opened up a little more about her biggest role: that of mother.
Next Thursday, November 21, Canal+ will unveil Maud Fontenoy's latest project entitled Blue, an ocean of solutions French Polynesia special, broadcast on Canal+. On this occasion, she spoke about her very strong connection to this region. “I gave birth to two of my children there. So I'm very attached to it and I was happy to do an episode of my show there.”she recalled. During filming, the sailor admitted to having put herself in danger since she simply swam with the sharks. “The more children I have, the more afraid I am [rires]. I think it's about leaving something behind. When I went on an adventure by rowing or sailing and was all alone, I feel like I was less afraid than I am today.” she began by explaining. Then continue: “But it's true that sharks are never very reassuring. They're a huge predator, they have big teeth and we're in their environment. We have no way of defending ourselves if there has a problem. I know it's his domain and I'm just a guest.. A way for the activist to emphasize the fact that she should perhaps no longer take so many risks now that she is the mother of five children, the last of whom “little wonder” born in April 2024.
Maud Fontenoy, a far-sighted mother
Always at Télé-Leisure, she added about her XXL family life: “I'm still trying to manage family life and professional lifeto tell me that it's not because we're a mother that we stop working. In this case, talking about the preservation of the oceans, which we so badly need, is what drives me. I want to leave these oceans to my children, I would like them to still be able to see whales. I miss them a lot during filming and I impose an extremely busy schedule on myself, to leave as few days as possible.”
“During this time, I make little videos for them. They are with me even when I am far away”, she assured. Maud Fontenoy concluded by talking about her ambitions for her five children. “I hope they travel. I think it's important, when you can, to go out, to discover your city, your country, to go on adventures, abroad, to understand others, different cultures, the world that It's not so big after all. It makes us more humble and it’s exciting,” she finished, full of hope.
