Alexandre Jardin Opens Up: Welcome to His Secret Hideaway
He is a novelist, screenwriter, and tireless advocate for good causes. But behind the image of the effervescent Alexandre Jardin hides a man attached to the essentials: his memories, his places, and the freedom to live without fear.
In this first episode of Confidences sur Paillasson, Isabelle Larochette welcomes him for an intimate and delightful conversation. Alexandre Jardin recalls his childhood in an unconventional holiday home, where his mother's lovers and his father's mistresses all coexisted — and where a gigantic table was built inside the kitchen, never to leave it. A fantastical setting that forged in him a deep conviction: it is possible to live without fear.
He then opens the doors to his secret hideaway: a 14 m² micro-house tucked away in the depths of the 17th arrondissement, lined with mirrors to trick the eye, where he writes, receives guests, and bakes quetsche crumbles between interviews. A place where the street drifts in through the window and the whole world seems to pass through.
Between cider, lemonade, and a mysterious racket inherited from his father — "for a wild idea" — Alexandre Jardin opens up with the generosity and whimsy that make him so endearing.
A conversation not to be missed, full of warmth and surprises.
