this dream house he is building for his retirement (it is by the sea)

While TF1's flagship host, Denis Brogniart, is back this evening in the new TF1 show, Gladiatorsalongside Hélène Mannarino and Jean-Pierre Foucault, he remains one of the emblematic figures of the survival show Koh Lanta. A role that he plays wonderfully since the 56-year-old man is a true nature lover. It is also in a region known for the beauty of its nature that the host decided to build a house. A project implemented for several months that the man described as the “ house of his dreams ».

Behind the cameras, this television man also harbors a personal dream: that of building an ideal refuge to fully enjoy his retirement. After years of success on the small screen, he aspires to a more serene life, turned towards nature and the simple pleasures of everyday life. Although he already owns a pavilion in the Paris suburbs, the presenter has always expressed his wish to be able to enjoy a haven of peace by the water. So what is this region that has won the heart of the 56-year-old man? We tell you everything!

A haven of peace on the shores of the Mediterranean

A great lover of Mediterranean landscapes, Denis Brogniart has always expressed his attachment to this luminous region, both calm and wild. This love for the sea led him to embark on an ambitious real estate project: the construction of a dream house where he could enjoy the good life while remaining faithful to his professional and family commitments. And it is in Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer, a charming town in the Var, that the host of Koh Lanta chose to lay the foundations for this new stage of his life. Located a few kilometers from Saint-Tropez, this preserved locality offers spectacular panoramas of the Mediterranean thanks to its hillside location.

“There is no more beautiful region » confided this running and cycling enthusiast last March to Var Morning, during the Côte d'Azur Garden Festival. It is in this idyllic setting that the host decided to build a house in his image: warm, modern and open to nature. Regularly sharing photos of the sea on his social networks, he often makes his subscribers dream with landscapes that look like postcards. “From time to time, I take photos of the transparency of the Mediterranean and, on my social networks, people think that it is in the Seychelles, the Maldives. But no, it’s in France and mainland France! I love this place. I also love this region out of season, it’s an endless playground”he said in the columns of Nice Morning .

A retreat under the southern sun

Although the South represents a true haven of peace for Denis Brogniart, he does not intend to give up the capital. “I would like to share my life between the South and Paris. Paris because I work there. And the South because I fundamentally love the Mediterranean”he confided in Var Morning . This choice reveals his desire to combine professional activity and moments of relaxation, without having to make compromises. A choice that his wife, Hortense, and his three daughters, Lili, Violette and Blanche support 100%.

Out of season, the Var becomes a real source of inspiration for him. Far from the tourist bustle, he appreciates the preserved landscapes and walks in the surrounding mountains. His future home in Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer will be the ideal starting point for these explorations and will offer the comfort necessary to recharge the batteries. But that doesn't mean the presenter wants to leave behind his opulent house in Bièvres in the Paris region: “Here, I'm not the guy on TV. There is a simple, family atmosphere in Bièvres. I feel at home” he confided toParisianin 2021.
