Roman Kolinka: The peaceful life of Marie Trintignant’s son in the 7th most welcoming city in the world

This Saturday, October 5, 2024, Léa Salamé received many personalities in What an era! And in particular carried out the first television interview with actor Roman Kolinka, who is none other than the son of the late Marie Trintignant, and the grandson of the late Jean-Louis Trintignant (his father Richard Kolinka was the drummer of the group Telephone). Passing through this famous talk show to promote the soap opera Disturbing disappearance (France 2 is broadcasting a new episode this Monday evening), he was obviously questioned about his illustrious family.

Particularly on Jean-Louis Trintignant. Because Roman Kolinka opened a restaurant in the town of Uzès, where his famous grandfather died, in 2022. “Everyone here knows more or less that I am the grandson of Jean-Louis Trintignant. I knew I was going to be asked 17 times a day ‘are you family?’, so we called it Family. And in the family there is this thing of sharing, we like times at the table. We like to drink, we like to eat“, he declared in a France 2 documentary, dedicated to the star of The Man Who Lies (released in 1968).

And it is hand in hand with his wife Yoko, mother of his son Marlo, that Roman Kolinka set up this project. “Everything is developed together, we are all food fans. This card is the reflection of teamwork and exchange“, had explained the one who was born in Japan to parents passionate about Japanese culture, in the columns of Provencein 2017. Their establishment is more precisely a wine bar-restaurant, which they launched with the help of several friends, she explained.

And for those who wonder why Roman Kolinka really decided to settle down in Uzès, apart from this tribute to his grandfather, well know that Marie Trintignant also lived there, with François Cluzet and their son Paul, and that it is in fact her home that he has settled in. Let us also remember that it is the seventh most welcoming city in the world according to Booking.com. And yes, thanks to its Provençal and authentic heritage, this Gard town of 8,540 inhabitants has a very good reputation!
