Freshly arrived in the series “Here it all begins”, Alice Wiesberg is the Institute’s brand new pastry professor. She is played by Noémie Zeitoun, an actress who has nothing to be ashamed of her very promising start to her career.
While the emblematic character of Salomé (Aurélie Pons) is bowing out, another is taking her first steps at the Auguste Armand Institute. This is Alice Wiesberg (Noémie Zeitoun), the replacement for Zacharie Landiras (Julien Alluguette) until the end of the Coupe de France de cuisine. And the least we can say is that his arrival did not go unnoticed.
Alice Wiesberg, an atypical teacher
Alice Wiesberg was recruited by Annabelle Cardone (Alexandra Vandernoot) to become the new pastry teacher, replacing Zacharie. And if the director made this decision, it is because the young woman was already teaching in her Lille school.
As soon as she arrived at the Auguste Armand Institute, Alice showed herself impassive towards her colleagues, sometimes cruelly lacking in tact. In particular, she has taken on the delicate task of telling Stanislas (Hubert Roulleau) that his wife, Maïa, will probably never wake up from her coma. Words that hurt the room teacher, but also made him think.
However, behind this harshness hides a person with a big heart. Indeed, in episode 933 of Monday May 27, 2024, Alice was surprised to win the jackpot in the raffle organized by the Institute. His gift ? A convertible car. But having no need for a brand new vehicle, the young woman decided to offer it to Antoine (Frédéric Diefenthal). A nice touch which surprised Souleymane’s father (Dembo Camilo).
And according to recent information revealed by TF1, it could well be that Alice will become a recurring character in the series. The reason ? Zacharie Landiras is preparing to give up her apron, which should place the young woman as the new pastry teacher. A real boon for Noémie Zeitoun, the actress who plays this character on screen. Besides, we’ll explain where you’ve already seen it…
