This year, the 20th season of Love is in the meadow will be broadcast on M6. This will be the fifteenth hosted by Karine Le Marchand. Before filming began, the host went back to the four corners of France to meet the 15 farmers chosen to bring this 2025 edition to life. She notably went to the Pays de la Loire to meet Geraldine.
At 49 years old, the latter is particularly memorable given that she is the first female alpaca breeder in the show’s history. Géraldine has around thirty, which she sells but above all from which she collects the wool to make various items for sale in her small shop. She also runs a boarding house for donkeys and horses and organizes tours of her 15-hectare discovery farm. A life at 100 miles per hour for the farmer who left everything to live from her passion. Indeed, before turning to alpaca breeding, she was an accountant and graphic designer in the Paris region. It was after a trip to the mountains, during which she discovered these camelids, that she decided to get started.
I’m not completely satisfied
Professionally, Géraldine is completely fulfilled today. As for her private life, everything is less rosy even if she had the good fortune to have two childrenLaura (15 years old) and Tom (14 years old), who live with her every other week. “I’m not completely satisfied, that’s why I signed up. I would like to think of myself as a woman and not just as a mother and full-time worker“, she confides in her portrait. Love is in the meadow appears as a “last resort“for Geraldine.”Because I don’t go out much. My first two meetings weren’t through apps but I think that doesn’t really correspond to the lifestyle we have here“, she explains.
Indeed, Géraldine experienced two important stories. The first with the father of her children, which lasted 12 years and which ended because they were “arrived at the end“of what they had to experience, and another that didn’t work”because he wasn’t much of an animal person and he wasn’t ready to accept the constraints of a life on the farm“. Géraldine therefore has a non-negotiable criterion today: people who want to meet her will have to be sure to adapt to her life and love animals.
In terms of character, the brunette also knows what she wants, namely “someone calm, not angry, reassuring because I lack self-confidence“. On the physical side, apart from a beautiful musculature, Géraldine is not difficult. On the other hand, admitting to being “a little naughty” and appreciate carnal pleasure, it is very important for her that her future man has a very present libido. A word to the wise!
