A charming corner of France, Cap-Ferret has become the beloved haunt of stars in recent years. But, for Pascal Obispo, his place of life is today “hell”…
On September 13, Pascal Obispo was the guest of Culture Media on Europe 1. He came to defend his next album, The Archipelago of Sequelsscheduled for November 15, he was also in the company of his long-time friend, Carla Bruni, with whom he shares a title on this opus, His childlike soulAsked about the haven of peace he found on the Arcachon Bay, the 59-year-old singer took the opportunity to set the record straight.
Pascal Obispo annoyed: “Don’t come anymore
It was a somewhat wound-up Pascal Obispo who spoke of the peace he thought he had found when he took up residence in Cap-Ferret, several years ago now… But today, the interpreter of Fell for her can no longer support the overtourism that is taking over the area from summer to summer. “Don’t come to Cap-Ferret anymore, that would be good because it has become something else, it’s a bit complicated…”he first complained on air. And he continued: “The Arcachon Basin is a beautiful place, but it’s hell, I don’t leave my house anymore!”
Indeed, the man who set down his bags in a former holiday centre that he transformed into a house and a studio, can no longer live normally when summer comes because the place is increasingly frequented by tourists. An overtourism that makes movement and access to accommodation particularly difficult… Which clearly has the gift of annoying Pascal Obispo, who has frequented the place since the 1970s, and who also married Julie Hantson there a few years ago; a marriage that unfortunately ended in divorce recently.
Guillaume Canet shares Pascal Obispo’s point of view: “It’s pissing me off”
And Pascal Obispo is not the only one to complain about this increase in the summer population. Guillaume Canet, who owns a house there with his wife Marion Cotillard, had also appeared somewhat exasperated on the set of Telematin in October 2021. “It pisses me off, because it’s my vacation and retirement place.”said the director of Small Handkerchiefsa film which, we remind you, takes place on the Arcachon Basin…
To date, other personalities live there at least part of the year like Laura Smet or Audrey Tautou. It’s really The Place to Be !
