Florent Pagny saw his two young children leave home at a young age. The singer recalled this period in a joint interview with his daughter, Aël, for Gala.

Florent Pagny and his daughter Aël remembered his departure from the family cocoon at just 16 years old to attend a boarding school.
At the same time, the young 25-year-old photographer’s brother, Inca, had also just left the nest to begin studying “mechanics”. A departure that the daughter of the 63-year-old singer and his wife, Azucena Caamaño, feared she would not be able to bear because of her closeness to her brother.
“Since I was born, I have been everywhere. This is my partner. We do everything together. When he left home, I dreaded missing him. So, I asked to join a boarding school,” she confided in an interview with her father for Gala.
However, if the young woman’s parents responded to her request, her absence and that of her brother were not easy to bear either. The couple, married since 2006, chose to indulge in trips and trips everywhere to make the task easier.
“Both left at the same time. We were living in Miami at the time. Inca went to Orlando, Aël went to New York,” explained Florent Pagny who now divides his life between France and Patagonia. “Afterwards, my wife and I traveled. We never stayed in the same place for three days… It lasted until we got used to their absence.”
With hindsight, Aël Pagny ended up understanding the reason for these successive movements of his parents: “It was much later that I understood why they had traveled so much: they did not want to see our empty rooms. We don’t necessarily have empathy for our parents as a teenager.
It took the Covid-19 pandemic and its confinements for the family to find themselves under the same roof, “more united than ever”.
“In any case, we won’t let go of each other,” said the singer. “You know, life with us is cool, pleasant. No day is the same. We move all the time. We are constantly moving from one hemisphere to another.”
