Love is in the meadow: very special day for Flavie and Valentin…

Among the notable stories of the 19th season of Love is in the meadow, there is that of Flavie and Valentin who quickly won over viewers from the first episodes. On August 19, 2024, Valentin, a young Norman farmer, met his two suitors, Flavie and Ilona. If the latter seemed to have difficulty adapting to life on the farm, Flavie, for her part, immediately stood out for her sincerity and her complicity with Valentin. Tensions with Ilona quickly flared, leading to her hasty departure after a heated argument. This twist of theater offered Flavie and Valentin the opportunity to be alone, far from distractions, so their connection was strengthened. Their story took off, marking people's minds with its authenticity. “As soon as he arrived at the farm, there was chemistry between us”, Valentin confided in an episode, emphasizing the naturalness of their rapprochement.

A tender message to celebrate eight months of love

To celebrate eight months of love with Valentin, Flavie published an Instagram story which moved her subscribers this Friday, December 6, 2024. In it, the two lovers kiss tenderly, while a well-hidden person makes a heart with his fingers behind. Despite everything being quite modest, Fanny soberly captioned the photo with the following text: “To our eight months. I love you.” A magnificent declaration of love.

A fight against illness

If the story of Flavie and Valentin inspires so much, it is also because it is marked by immense courage in the face of adversity. During her participation in the show, Flavie revealed that she had cancer. “I had undergone surgery for a tumor analyzed as benign before participating in the show” she confided to Parisian last November 5. But, during filming, the diagnosis came: “I had sarcoma [une tumeur cancéreuse maligne]. I collapsed. The oncologist immediately told me that there would be chemo.” Despite this terrible news, Flavie found unwavering support in Valentin: “He told me he would be there for me no matter what.” In the episode of Monday November 11, 2024, broadcast on M6, she spoke to Karine Le Marchand about this difficult period. “We took this interview as a mid-term review, filmed in case I couldn’t be there a few months later,” she explained.
