“I’m at a stage where…”

Documentary coming soon The French, love and sexKarine Le Marchand spoke about her own romantic experiences. If the host claims to have gained clarity on what she wants, finding love remains a challenge.

Love: a simple word, but carrying a complex and often elusive feeling, giving rise to sometimes inextricable situations. In The French, love and sexproduced and presented by Karine Le Marchand and broadcast on December 9 on M6, the high priestess of encounters sets out to decipher the evolution of romantic and sexual relationships over the last 50 years. From the first meeting to our habits as a couple, including our beliefs and social injunctions, this documentary offers a true inventory of love in the 21st century. On the occasion of its broadcast, Karine Le Marchand spoke honestly to our colleagues at TV Magazine about his own vision of love and his current and past relationships.

For the facilitator, the key to fulfillment lies above all in deep self-knowledge. “It’s a path”, she confides. “I'm at a point where I know what I want and what I don't want anymore […]. I figured out what attracted me and hurt me.” With disarming frankness, she accepts her contradictions: “I don't like these dominant males anymore, that's it, I've done the work. However, when I meet a good and caring one, and I experienced it not long ago, I am bored to death.” So what is the solution? To this question, Karine Le Marchand does not provide a definitive answer, other than lucid advice: when you are not happy, you have to know how to leave. However, she qualifies: “Being single in the 21st century is exhilarating, it’s freedom, but it can be a precipice.”

Learning to love: an essential step in building fulfilling relationships

In this documentary, Karine Le Marchand explores multiple ways of loving while highlighting the limits and challenges that love poses in the 21st century. It raises an essential question: what does it mean to love? Do we even know? For the host of Love is in the meadow, society no longer prepares us to follow the patriarchal model that prevailed for millennia. “In Love is in the meadow, I campaigned for a psychologist to support farmers […] to prepare them for life as a couple and for dating. In life, we are not educated in love!”, she emphasizes.

She points to a major development: since the appearance of divorce and the establishment of equal rights, men and women no longer receive a clear framework for building a lasting relationship or escaping routine. For her, the traditional couple model is now being called into question.
