This was the beginning of the end of “L’amour est dans le pré”. The time to review season 20 is fast approaching. Therefore, this is also the beginning of a real story for the farmers who have made their choice and lived their first days as a couple. Everything went well especially for Gilles who flew to Reunion with the person in his heart, Isabelle, as we can find out in the 13th episode which was broadcast on November 17 and is already available on the MyCanal and M6+ platforms. Finally, it works, if we want it to. Because the wheat farmer was seasick when he boarded the catamaran and motion sick when their guide’s car zigzagged to the Piton de la Fournaise in the morning. “It wasn’t a honeymoon at all,” she later told the camera, after a moment when she felt unwell. But breakfast in front of a beautiful sunrise revives him and allows him to offer his gift to Isabelle, the key to her house. “You are welcome at home whenever you want,” he told her. The same goes for Jean-Louis and Sophie who go on a romantic getaway in the sun. And it’s not GPS fickleness that will benefit their prospective partners. Jacuzzis, massages, luxury hotels cut off from the world. Who says it’s better?
Another Jean-Louis du Nord would have dreamed of it with Isabelle. But we find the tandem in the midst of the crisis very far from the small wooden bridge where he made his declaration a few weeks ago. It even becomes a grin when he arrives at Dunkirk to try to salvage the situation. Two polite kisses and tense focus. “I’d rather we meet in a neutral place,” Isabelle warned him as she drove him in her car. And in a bar he sits and reproaches her for not seeing her promises of a good life kept. “When we eat together, we don’t talk. I have the impression of being in a regular relationship for 20 years,” he criticized. “If you want us to stop,” Jean-Louis said as his only response. “We’ll stop there,” said her fiancé, who left her stranded in the middle of the cafe.
Meanwhile, it is precisely the opposite “the birth of an adventure” for Laurent who chooses Laurence, Pierrick’s chosen watch, in Ille-et-Vilaine who keeps Lilly over Valérie and Célia in Tarn who reject Floran and keep Clément. There is nothing surprising in the couple’s births we have witnessed over the past few weeks.
“I just spent my first night with a girl”
But most importantly, this 13th episode focuses on Mathieu in Aveyron. The sheep farmer is one of the most charming candidates in this new season and takes the time to quietly choose the person with whom he can share his life. The first for this young man in 30 years. So Clémence or Marie? The boy had his own ideas but preferred to introduce his two suitors to his parents and twin brother at lunch. The first passed the exam with flying colors, while the second did not find its place. “Clémence is interested, she asks, she gets points. Marie is too quiet,” then comments the young man who determined his choice. All that was left was to announce it to his two guests. “Clémence has lost everything. You were my favorite, then Clémence’s tornado arrived,” he concluded to Marie whose only eyes were left to cry. “I had a lot of hopes, I had plans, this is the story of my life,” he commented disappointedly. Clémence is overjoyed but awaits her first kiss. “The next step is for us to kiss,” he dreams. No doubt due to his lack of experience, Mathieu took his time but still let loose and made up for lost time. “There are no more small beds,” he warns Clémence at their first romantic dinner. “I just spent my first night with a girl,” the rancher concluded the next morning in paradise. We’re not worried about them towards the end of the season.
