In the warm den of the show “La table des bons vivant” on Europe 1, Julia Vignali, known for her brilliance on screen, shared a slice of personal life on Saturday December 30, 2023.
She spoke with a touch of surprise about the unexpected hobby of her companion, the actor Kad Merad. Far from the tumult of the spotlight, the couple found refuge in Saône-et-Loire. After being united in marriage in November 2022, they embarked on the renovation of an old farm.
This residence, which Vignali describes as a “ruin to be transformed”, became the scene of their joint efforts. “It’s a new experience for me, this major work, but it’s exciting to revive the soul of this house, to resurrect an old bread oven, to preserve the authenticity of the stones and beams,” she confided enthusiastically in an interview with Gala last September.
At the heart of this rural adventure, a revelation surprised more than one: Kad Merad, an emblematic figure of French cinema, turns into a shepherd. Revealed by the FNSEA in July, this unexpected professional turn for the actor arouses curiosity and admiration.
“Did you know? Kad Merad is becoming a farmer and preparing to raise sheep in our beautiful Saône-et-Loire,” announced a post on Facebook. Julia Vignali, with her natural ease, revealed these little-known aspects of their lives during her radio appearance, thus revealing a more intimate and down-to-earth side of the couple.
This life project, far from the cameras, reflects their common desire to reconnect with the essential and to forge deeper links with nature and simplicity.
