Published on 01/02/2026

Didier & Isabelle, season 14

Didier and Isabelle met on the famous TV show “L’amour est dans le pré”, during the fourteenth season to be precise. They’re still together, and seem more in love than ever. They share such an ideal love that they are planning and organizing their wedding before the registrar. However, their union had to be postponed to a later date due to the continuing global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

François & Marie-Line & Marie Paul, season 9

The show’s ninth season was a great success, thanks to some magnificent couples, such as François and his partners. Indeed, it’s not a two-person couple that’s at stake, but rather three people. As a result, the show has gained great popularity. This wonderful love triangle added a spicy dimension to the show, a first in its history. However, François succumbed to Marie-Line’s charm, much to Marie Paul’s disappointment.

François & Marie-Line, season 9

François decided to share his life with the incredible Marie-Line, and from their union came little Marceau. One would have thought that all would go well in the little family, but alas, Marie-Line left us about six days after François’s christening. She says: “I didn’t like life on the farm, I didn’t bond with anyone in the village, maybe I was bored.” Our son was born on July 21, 2015. “Since then, I’ve made eight visits home to Brittany.”

Thierry & Véronique, season 9

The two lovebirds met for the first time on the ninth season of “L’amour est dans le pré”. Since their meeting on the show, the two lovers have never wanted to leave each other’s side, so intense is their love for each other. It was Véronique who initiated contact with Thierry when the show took place in a rural setting. Véronique says she greatly appreciates Thierry’s diligence and determination as a farmer. They later married.

Damien & Élodie, season 8

It was back in 2013 that Damien and Elodie succumbed to their mutual attraction. Over the course of season 8 of the show, their love was born, and they blossomed into a relationship so close that it’s hard to believe they could ever part. Years later, their love remains intact, and they seem genuinely fulfilled in their roles as farmers and breeders. Their love affair gave birth to the enchanting Emma, born three weeks before her due date.

Thierry & Annie

The legendary show “L’amour est dans le pré” (Love is in the Meadow), currently hosted by the beautiful and talented Carine Lemarchand, has resulted in a sharp increase in viewers for the M6 channel. Many of the show’s contestants have stood out from the crowd, because before taking part, they didn’t really think they’d find love. However, thanks to the show, they found themselves among the most fulfilled and happy. Later, in September 2012, Thierry and Annie married and created a beautiful family.

Fabien & Alexia, season 4

In 2009, Fabien was just 24 years old and looking for his soulmate, the one who wanted to spend the rest of his life by his side. On the show, two suitors came forward: Charline and another woman over whom he had no qualms about setting up a competition to determine who would be the love of his life. In the end, he decided to go for Charline’s competitor, enabling them to start a family with their two children.

Jean Claude & Maud, season 6

Jean Claude and Maud are the legendary couple of the sixth season of the extraordinary program “L’amour est dans le pré”. The two lovebirds have always loved each other, and since then they’ve led a blissfully happy existence. Their union gave birth to the delightful Charlotte in September 2014. A year later, the couple had a violent altercation and Jean Claude allegedly kicked his wife, causing her to fall. Subsequently, Jean Claude would be sentenced by the court for committing acts of violence.

Pierre & Frédérique, Season 7

Pierre and Frédérique are one of the most emblematic and successful couples on “L’amour est dans le pré”. They met during the show’s seventh season, and no one would have bet on such a joint breakthrough. Indeed, Frédérique didn’t seem to be familiar with the rural lifestyle centered on farming and stockbreeding, which is Pierre’s daily routine. Over time, however, she managed to adapt, and today the couple lead a happy life.

Didier & Stéphanie, season 8

Didier and Stéphanie are certainly one of the most striking and emblematic couples of the show’s eighth season. Indeed, over the course of the season, the duo have succeeded in setting themselves apart with a highly original relationship that breaks with the monotony usually observed on the show. The couple remain deeply in love and have opted for assisted childbirth to avert any danger. In this way, they were able to happily welcome Kilian and Esteban.

Yoann & Emmanuelle, Season 5

Some interactions on the show unfold like true fairy tales, in the way we often observe in films, series and novels. It was precisely in the show’s fifth season that we were privileged to discover such a wonderful love story. The story focuses on Yoann and Emmanuelle, two lovers who have shared an intense passion ever since they met on the show. Later, they experienced the joy of becoming parents to two children.

Eric & Florence, season 10

Eric and Florence were the romantic couple who marked the tenth season of the popular TV show “L’amour est dans le pré”. The couple live a peaceful and fulfilling existence on Eric’s splendid farm in Burgundy. Florence blended in perfectly with the rural world, which made their relationship much easier. However, in 2017, the couple went through a lot of turbulence and finally decided to separate.

Nicole & François, season 14

The show “L’amour est dans le pré” has seen couples form and marriages break up, but François and Nicole’s union is unique. They belong to that category of couples who, following the show, did not legitimize their relationship with marriage. For the couple, cohabiting without marriage is the ideal situation. Nevertheless, they’re happy, and are working hard to build a wonderful family and have children.

Corinne, season 4: married

During the fourth season of “L’amour est dans le pré”, Corinne captivated the attention of Karine Lemarchand and the show’s viewers alike. However, it’s worth noting the candidate’s attitude: despite being a contestant on a dating show, Corinne was indifferent to Karine Le Marchand’s efforts to match her with another contestant. So Corinne ruled out Daniel and Mathieu, her two potential candidates. However, the 27-year-old winegrower did marry a certain Sébastien from Charente-Maritime. The recent report by “France Soir” journalists has delighted the farmer’s admirers.

Aude & Christopher, season 13

During the thirteenth season of “L’amour est dans le pré” in 2018, viewers got to know Aude and her suitor Christopher. For the record, Aude, who is a cattle breeding specialist, already had a child (6-year-old Louane) when she signed up for the show. Christopher pursued his quest for love regardless of the fact that she was a single mother. Following their marriage, little Raphaël was born and is now 2 years old. Alas, Christopher and Aude are no longer together, and the ex-participant has been away from Instagram for an extended period.

Jean-Michel & Nathalie, season 6

They’re certainly one of the most remarkable couples on the sixth season of “L’amour est dans le pré”. Ex-candidate Jean-Michel’s passion for his beau Nathalie led him to give her a majestic goat. Despite its unusual character, the present greatly appealed to the candidate, who finally succumbed to Jean-Michel’s charm. Unfortunately, the marital bliss didn’t last, as their love affair came to an end. Jean-Michel, heavy-hearted and torn, finally decided to write a book to share his sadness with the French. The book is called “Le Pré est vide, mon cœur aussi…”.

Cécile, season 3: single

It seems that love isn’t always on the cards for some contestants, who have had to deal with more serious problems than their single status. In 2008, a certain Cécile won the hearts of the French during the third season of the show, then hosted by Véronique Mounier. While the farmer left the program single (not seduced by the endearing George and Yves), having enjoyed her experience, it seems that the last few years have not been kind to her. Indeed, Cécile is said to have reported “dramatic” financial problems, with her investment in Espelette chillies earning her almost nothing. On the brink of a precipice, the former contestant confessed that she had lost interest in love.

Sandrine, Season 2: Married

For some previous “L’amour est dans le pré” contestants, their romance didn’t end when the season ended. Indeed, Sandrine from season two (hosted by Alessandra Sublet) recently found love, and didn’t hesitate to share it with “Télé 2 Semaines” journalists. The charming blonde, then aged 26, had resurfaced in 2012 as a waitress for the famous Dany, who took part in season 7 hosted by Karine Le Marchand. To date, the identity of the ex-candidate’s new husband remains unknown.

Jean-Michel & Christine, season 14

The fourteenth edition of “L’amour est dans le pré” was undoubtedly notable for the languorous kiss exchanged between two candidates, Jean-Michel and Christine. For the record, Jean-Michel is an agricultural worker in his fifties who lives in and comes from eastern France, while Christine was originally from Champagne-Ardenne. From their very first interaction, a mutual attraction was evident between the two applicants, who eventually formed a couple. Sadly, that bond that began with an awkward kiss no longer exists, as Jean-Michel is now in a relationship with another partner he met outside the program.

Valérie & Sylvain, season 6

The sixth season of “L’amour est dans le pré”, broadcast in 2011 and hosted by Le Marchand, produced very few couples. Valérie and Sylvain, her suitor, are among the lucky ones. It seems that they fell in love with each other during filming. In September 2011, the Normandy-born contestant expressed her delight at the prospect of moving to join her partner. Despite leaving her job as a waitress, the young woman declined the offer to sell her house. A wise decision, given that the couple ended their relationship just two years later.

Jean-Noël & Nathalie, season 8

Sadly, Jean-Noël and Nathalie are no longer together. According to local sources, Nathalie was given a hefty 10-month sentence in 2017 for insulting her own lawyer. This is the twenty-third time Nathalie has been sentenced, her troubled past having tarnished her participation in the show. However, Jean-Noël persevered for several months before finally giving in after a while. What a shame… On this point, the two ex-candidates chose not to interact with the media, hence the low number of articles mentioning their separation.

Franck & Karine, season 10

Franck and Karine have finally broken off their relationship, based on the latest information we have about them. The news sent shockwaves through “L’amour est dans le pré” viewers, who observed the obviously intense affection between the two contestants. Although the reasons for their separation remain unknown, many viewers of the show’s tenth season criticize Franck for his flirtatious behavior towards Karine and Caroline. However, the ex-candidate maintains in his defense that his personal interactions with Caroline consisted only of two kisses exchanged on the farm.

Dominique & Anne, Season 1

At the start of the show, audiences weren’t really captivated, and it could be said that ratings were rather stagnant. Anne and Dominique Lemarchand, one of the first couples featured on the show, met during the show’s first season. After the show, they chose to stay together as the two main characters developed an affection for each other. From this union was born their first child, Théo, followed later by the arrival of little Léonie.

Claire & Adrien, season 10

As it happens, the romance between Claire and Adrien, whom we discovered in the show’s tenth season, didn’t last more than three short months. In 2015, viewers were enchanted by Adrien Vives’ cheerful attitude, a personality that ultimately won over contestant Claire. However, the candidate’s comments sparked a strong reaction online after the 2018 season aired on M6. In an interview with “Purebreak” press, Adrien Vives reportedly criticized the lack of professionalism on the part of M6 producers, claiming that they had “ruined his image”.

Claude & Caroline, season 10

Claude and Caroline experienced three separations during their five years together. However, according to Caroline’s Facebook profile, this separation seems to be the one that remains for the latest participants in the program’s tenth season. The young mother, now on her own, revealed the reasons behind her choice (as it seems she was the one who broke the bond). It turns out that the romance between Claude and Caroline metamorphosed into a sterile, time-consuming relationship that was detrimental to the pretender. Caroline is said to have neglected Claude’s efforts to win her back, preferring to take advantage of the confinement to recharge her batteries.

Jacky, season 10: single

Jacky, who raises pigs full-time and does firefighting in his spare time, represents the perfect candidate. So, what went wrong? It’s a question on the minds of many fans of the tenth season of “L’amour est dans le pré”, a season in which Jacky didn’t get the outcome he was hoping for. Indeed, the contestant from Mayenne left season 10 as a bachelor, without being disappointed. To avoid taking on the role of seducer on the show, the cattle farmer intentionally failed to reveal his voluntary work to his would-be conquests, Kim and Mélodye.

Alain & Edith, season 11

It was during the eleventh season of “L’amour est dans le pré” that the couple Alain and Edith were born. A few years later, two adorable twins, Axelle and Elise, were born, symbolizing the materialization of their relationship. Unlike the show’s other contestants, the two lovebirds have chosen to keep their relationship out of the media spotlight, appearing only sporadically at Karine Le Marchand’s call or to catch up with friends they met on set. As for the couple’s twin daughters, we don’t know if their parents have explained the origins of their relationship…

Angélique & Christophe, Season 12

In June 2019, an event orchestrated by Karine Le Marchand unveiled several surprises to viewers of “L’amour est dans le pré”. During this event, Christophe (who was featured on the twelfth season of the dating show) introduced another lady who was not Angélique, thereby demonstrating the authenticity of his separation from his former partner. So, Angélique is no longer in the company of the winemaker, and we haven’t heard from her since. We sincerely hope that the former suitor has also found happiness.

Pierre-Emmanuel and Gladys, season 12

On May 4, 2020, contributors to “Télé Loisirs” caught fans of “L’amour est dans le pré” off guard by announcing the separation of Pierre-Emmanuel and his partner Gladys. The couple’s relationship, which began during a speed dating session, only lasted two and a half years. Nevertheless, many viewers of the show’s twelfth season were anticipating this denouement, as Gladys would not have moved in with Pierre-Emmanuel, thus remaining in Alsace far from him, while the latter struggled to find a farmer to relocate to the Centre-Val de Loire region.

Mathieu and Alexandre, season 15

Mathieu and Alexandre’s love affair began on the set of “L’amour est dans le pré” in 2020. During this fifteenth season of the show, four couples were born, but it was the one formed by two men in love that most captivated Karine Le Marchand’s audience. It would appear that Mathieu and Alexandre have chosen to skip a few steps and get married in June 2021 (assuming all goes according to plan) in front of their friends from the old show. However, the information released on Instagram did not produce the impact the couple had hoped for, as many admirers remained divided over the announcement.
