“We met and never left each other again”

Invited by Frédéric Lopez on the set of the show A Sunday in the countrysidethis Sunday, January 26, will Dorothée Olliéric return to her union with Philippe Vandel? A love at first sight that she doesn’t hesitate to confide in.

It is a well-known face who meets Frédéric Lopez, this Sunday January 26 in the show A Sunday in the countryside . Journalist Dorothée Olliéric should return to her career as a senior reporter for France 2. Perhaps she will also mention her romance with Philippe Vandel. She had already recounted their meeting, on the set of Buzz TV on September 5: “One day, our mutual friend Manon Loizeau (journalist, Editor’s note) passed it to me on the phone, then we met and never left each other’s side. It’s been 25 years, and we have two children.”

The presenter has always supported his activity, which is dangerous to say the least: “With him, departures were always light, cheerful, joyful. Even if he was perhaps worried, he did not tell me about it.“Grateful, Dorothée Olliéric confides:”It would have been very heavy and difficult if everyone had tears in their eyes.“And nothing stops the mother of Félix and Castille, 22 and 20 years old:”Even when I was three months pregnant, I went to Afghanistan, I didn’t tell the editors!“

“I think they understood it, they forgave me”: these touching confidences from Dorothée Olliéric about her children

At the microphone of Buzz TV, Dorothée Olliéric looked back on the moments she missed, while she traveled the world with her camera. She admits to having “magnifying glass” three birthdays of his daughter, and also recounts this stinging remark from one of his son’s teachers. “She tells me […] : ‘Don’t you think it’s time to stop? Your son needs you“, she remembers. Shaken, she admits to having “burst into tears at the parent-teacher meeting” : “It was terrible and it made me doubt.“Years later, Dorothée Olliéric returned to her experience as a great reporter in her book Mom is going to war. A way perhaps to explain to her children that she never sacrificed them in the name of her career: “I think they understood, they forgave me. My daughter wrote a letter at the end of the book to tell me she was proud of me.“The most beautiful of consecrations.
