Even before the broadcast of the show, Gilles Chapron, alias Gillou, was already talking about him in Rouez and surrounding areas. But since his adventures are broadcast every other Monday, on M6, in Love is in the meadowthe retired farmer is recognized wherever it passes in Sarthe. “At the Le Mans fair, people stopped me all the time to take selfies. Everywhere I go, there are many people who recognize me. I must have a particular physique and voice. I had a little popularity before, but now it goes beyond the limits! I can't believe it”, s’amuse Gillou.
It must be said that in the show, the profile of this 70-year-old farmer does not go unnoticed. His humor and his naturalness are appreciated by viewers. “I thought I was a bit of a mascot because I was the oldest. But I was told it was because I made people laugh and I totally stayed myself. It's true that I'm quite comfortable on TV, I surprise myself while watching.” smiled Gillou.

Discretion required
Today, does Gillou watch L'amour est dans le pré alone on his sofa or accompanied? We won't know yet. In the episode broadcast this Monday, November 4, he had chosen his suitor Marie and had even spent the night with her, but the “assessment” of the show will only be broadcast at the end of the month. In the meantime, silence and tight-lipped. “I am often asked this question. I am discreet, because I must not reveal too much before broadcast. But it doesn't bother me.” he says.
Gillou suspects that this notoriety is only temporary. “Unfortunately and fortunately, next year they will air season 20 and people will move on. It won't last forever for me this popularity. But I believe that now, I will always remain Gillou from L'amour est dans le pré“, he concludes.
