Despite his success, Christophe Maé has always cherished his simplicity. On Sunday, May 10, Christophe Maé was invited to “20H30 le dimanche” on France 2 for the release of his seventh album “Fête Foraine” last March. It was an opportunity for the 50-year-old artist to briefly break his legendary discretion and talk about his private life in the south of France, his cocoon away from the hustle and bustle of Paris. “At my home in the South, I lead an ordinary life. I am surrounded by my loved ones, my childhood friends. I have my family, and there’s something reassuring down there: it’s home. And then it’s the south, it’s the most beautiful region in France,” he explained to Laurent Delahousse. Incidentally, the singer of “Belle Demoiselle” simply took the train back and forth for his appearance on the show. Growing up in the sunshine of Carpentras in the Southeast, Maé was embraced by the heart of Provence: lavender fields, olive trees, garlic, markets.

Christophe Maé lives in a sheepfold with his wife Nadège and their two children near Aix-en-Provence. Despite his attachment to the South, Christophe Maé will have to leave for his tour starting on June 18 and ending on December 11. However, it’s their beautiful sheepfold where he lives with his wife Nadège and their two children, Jules, 18, and Marcel, 13, that he will miss the most. Six years ago, the 50-year-old singer and his wife renovated an old sheepfold with a breathtaking view of an olive grove. According to the revelations from Gala in 2023, the artist had a professional studio installed to compose his songs, as well as a football field for his sons, one of whom is leaving the family nest.

Christophe Maé: a look back at his meeting with his wife Nadège in Corsica. During his appearance on “20h30 le dimanche,” on May 10, Christophe Maé also took the opportunity to make a tender declaration of love to Nadège, whom he married in 2017. “She has been with me for 22 years; we have done everything together. I think if I hadn’t crossed her path, I probably wouldn’t be here,” he confided, with emotion. It was in Corsica, at the beginning of the 2000s, that the singer met the love of his life. “I landed here almost sixteen years ago and was playing in clubs in Ajaccio, Calvi, on beaches. I played in many places like that. I met the mother of my two children here. Corsica, I just want to tell you that it’s my heart’s land,” he recounted in “Un jour, un doc” in July 2024.
