At the end of the speed dating, the farmer chooses Marie and Isabelle to share a moment on his farm. “Obviously, there were eight disappointments,” admits the Sarthois. Once on the farm, “there was no problem, neither between them nor with me”. Finally, it is Mary who delights the farmer's heart: “there was a click with Marie that I didn’t have with Isabelle”.
