Originally from Brittany, Nolwenn Leroy subsequently lived in several corners of France. But where does she live today?
This Saturday, December 21, Nolwenn Leroy will return to the set that revealed her 22 years ago, that of the Star Academy. For the occasion, the big winner of season 2 of the telecrochet will once again set foot on the Parisian cobblestones which she abandoned some time ago in favor of the South of France.
Nolwenn Leroy and this Paris corner: “It’s a special corner for me”
Because if Nolwenn Leroy was born in Finistère, she never really returned to her native Brittany although rumors gave her an apartment in Rennes; information denied by West France. If her heart will always lean towards the Great West, today it also oscillates between Paris, the South of France where she settled a few years ago, and Auvergne where part of her family still lives.
Having passed through the Paris region during her childhood, the 42-year-old singer bought an apartment in Montmartre many years later, after discovering the capital thanks to Star Academy. Very attached to her neighborhood, she was full of praise for it at the microphone of France Bleu in 2021.
“I became a girl of the 18th century (…) I still have my place there. I don't think I will move (…) It's a separate corner for me, the 18th century. I have a part of my heart today which is in Paris. I also draw my energy from Paris.declared the mother of Marin, now seven years old. Comments confirmed in the columns of Point in October 2024: “When I arrived in Paris, I was a little afraid, but here, in Montmartre, I found a kind of proximity, something reassuring. I felt at home from the start”.
Nolwenn Leroy moved: where does she live today?
However, the one who has shared the life of former tennis player Arnaud Clément for almost fifteen years is quite lucid: “Paris is not a city for little ones and when we are old… Paris is fabulous when we are young (…) Paris is the duality between this wonder and also the harshness of the city”.
It is therefore quite natural that the interpreter of Broken and his small family left the capital for the South of France. As Nolwenn Leroy revealed to The two of us in 2023, she settled not far from Aix-en-Provence, her partner's native region, with her family.
The couple owns a large residence there where the star of the TF1 series Brocéliande spends most of his time today. No wonder when we reread the comments she made in the columns of Provence in 2013: “My heart is there. Provence has always fascinated me through Pagnol's novels, I walk there a lot, it's easy to feel good there”.
