And the swimming champion intends to shine on the floor. “It's going to be great“, he slipped in an interview granted exclusively to Tele-Leisure. He absolutely made a radical decision to put all the chances on his side: “I'm moving to Paris, a city where I've never lived. There is a side that scares me a little. But at the same time, I'm happy to have such an experience“added Florent Manaudou, who usually lives in Marseille.
Florent Manaudou's confidences about his meeting with his dancer
