The actress was, among others, the guest of Frédéric Lopez this November 10 in his show “A Sunday in the Country”. Installed in the barn with memories, she poured out her thoughts on her family.
“Remain rebellious”this is the advice that Sandrine Bonnaire would give herself if she could go back in time and speak with the child that she was. This answer stems from the now well-known question from Frédéric Lopez who begins each episode of his show “Un Dimanche à la campagne”. “Imagine that you can jump into the past, you who know the rest of the story, what would you say to this child?”questioned the journalist.
The actress was the first of three guests – the artist Emmanuel Moire and the chef Christophe Michalak were also invited – to launch into the story of her childhood. And if Sandrine Bonnaire is a French actress who has twice won a Cesar, she did not evolve in a privileged environment. Born in the Allier department, more precisely in Gannat, Sandrine Bonnaire grew up in a family of 11 brothers and sisters.

At the age of seven, she moved with her entire family to the Paris region after her father and uncle built a chalet. “We were without water and without electricity. We lived there for two years. So we were a little gypsy, a little gypsy. We only washed once a week.”she confided before specifying: “My mother washed us in a tub, 4 or 5 of us in that tub.”
Far from wanting to complain, the actress immediately tempered her remarks. “I don’t want to be Cinderella, that has nothing to do with it. But we didn’t experience it very well.”she explained, sharing a feeling of shame. “When we went to school, people knew we lived like that. But at the same time we remained dignified. My parents were very courageous”she underlined while emphasizing the great freedom she enjoyed.
“Perhaps my non-docility or at least the daring that I had in life later, or even that I had at the time, come from that.” After these two precarious years, Sandrine Bonnaire's family moved to an apartment in Grigny, a town in Essonne. “I remember the lamp on the ceiling, for me it was absolute chic”remembered the one who had lived without electricity a few months earlier.
