Discovered in this 19th season of Love is in the meadowLudovic was able to count on Karine Le Marchand and her team to meet his other half. After meeting the many contenders who came during his speed dating in Paris, the tender-hearted winemaker invited Manon and Mélanie to his home, in order to get to know them better. After several days spent in their company, the young participant's heart finally beat for Mélanie. A few months after the end of his adventure, Ludovic spoke to the microphone of Tele-Leisure on his emotional journey.
“There are around twenty people who found me” : Ludovic talks about the letters he received during the broadcast of Love is in the meadow 2024
Tele-Leisure : How was your adventure?
Ludovic : This adventure was rich in emotions, it was quite an adventure. We've been there for a year already. It turns your life upside down, it’s quite intense to meet the person. For now, only happiness.
You have received hundreds of letters. Aside from the show's letters, did any women try to contact you after your portrait aired?
They tried to contact me. There are around twenty people who found me with the name of the farm. But it was only letters, but I played the game until the end and I didn't respond.
When Mélanie and Manon arrived at your home, you chose to do 50/50. Did you realize that this could have frustrated your suitors, as they say on camera in the show?
It's frustrating, but at the same time at no time did they enter into the game of seduction. I wanted to give fairness to both, except that what happened was that at no time, even if it was frustrating for the girls, did they take a moment to talk to me … It doesn't frustrate me because I was clear and simple in my head, give everyone the same chance and make a choice. The problem is that behind it there was no initiative to take a further step, perhaps because of shyness… But it's my way of doing things, I don't regret anything.
If you had to redo your adventure, would you change anything?
I won't change anything at all, even until the end of the adventure. I'll let you see why. I don't regret this show, I was happy to do it.
Ludovic (Love is in the meadow 2024) reveals the rest of his adventure with Mélanie
What do you think of your time on the show from an outside perspective?
It's special. We are living our adventure, we experience things that people don't necessarily see during the broadcast. There are things we don't realize. People don't understand, but even if you have feelings, it's very difficult to be impartial with two people who are next to each other, especially when they arrive at the farm. That's why I fell for it, I knew who to choose, but I wanted to give the two people who were there a chance, that they each have their opportunity. Even though I had made the choice for some time.
How did the meeting with Mélanie’s family go?
Meeting Mélanie’s family is an intense moment. Quite strong mountain people so a little bit impressive, but afterward it was a really nice welcome, I was well received!
Did you notice a before and after of your time on television?
Back home, I already know everyone. It was especially when I went to the first trade shows, like in Clermont-Ferrand, where everyone recognized me, the 50/50 stuck in people's heads.
Ludovic joins a great initiative at Noémie and Guillaume (Love is in the meadow saison 17)
Have you made friends with the other farmers this season?
I am very close to Christophe, Stéphane, Valentin, almost everyone. Christophe, I know him from speed dating. He would come by in the afternoon and I would come by in the morning. Afterwards, we all met at the assessment, we had never seen each other, except on TV. So we were able to get together, get to know each other and meet the people we chose, so it was nice.
Will we see you soon on the ADP Tour?
ADP Tour I have been part of it recently. I quickly became friends with the show's alumni. Officially, I'm part of it. You can see me in Champagne, at Noémie and Guillaume’s. For now, it's just fun! There are significant droughts, I am in the process of diversifying into a new product, based on prickly pear, you will be able to eat and make cosmetics. I try to make products that don't need water, it's a bit innovative so we're going to push on that. It rains everywhere in France except where we live, so we try to adapt.
