Stéphane Bern, hero of the series Bellefond to be found this Tuesday, January 21, 2025 on France 3, fell in love in 2013 with the Royal and Military College of Thiron-Gardais, a town located to the west of Paris, in the department of Eure-et-Loir .

A monument classified as French heritage but… in poor condition when he recovered it. Everything had to be renovated. “Work began in November 2014. For two years, workers worked every day to make the college a habitable space again. Years during which around seventy people were involved in the renovation of this almost identical place., tell our colleagues from France 3.

If Stéphane Bern did not spend “what“300,000 euros to afford it, the restoration work cost him much more. companion of Yori Bailleres estimated their price at 4 million euros. “It’s going to take me a little time, I sold everything! My banker says to me ‘I hope he lives a long time’”, he quipped to TV Mag, he who should therefore find himself in debt for a certain timeor even his whole life. “I have to be careful. I have to work, and probably for a long time, to repay my debts. I have put a lot of blame on myself.”

Stéphane Bern based in Var

Let us point out that he had settled permanently on these places – where he had already had his tomb dug – with his loved one. “We are super happy here, and the more I live here with Stéphane, the more it’s osmosis“, Yori confided as part of a documentary broadcast on France 3.

But since then, the couple has headed to the south of France, towards Lavandou in the Var. A move dating from the end of 2024 only. A new living environment (certainly alternating with the Royal College), about which Stéphane Bern spoke in a video recorded on the occasion of Mayor Gil Bernardi’s wishes. “Why do I like Lavandou? Look at this sea, this sky, this lush nature which seems to fall into the sea and we are in the middle of November. It’s a chance to be able to enjoy this Var region with such beautiful sunshine.“, he declared, while he was on Cavalière beach, the district in which he settled.
