If he has greatly moved viewers lately by making his return to the stageThe Voice (TF1) as he continues to fight against lung cancerFlorent Pagny draws the energy to move forward in southern argentina. For more than twenty years, the interpreter of “Know how to love” has indeed lived in the middle of nature in the heart of Patagonie. An adopted country that he discovered thanks to love, he who fell in love with the magnificent Azucena Caamaño, the mother of his two children, Inca and Ael. “I really hit nature thanks to my wife and thanks to her country”, thus confided the 61-year-old artist in an interview with Télé-Loisirs.

Like us. As we like. And Inca like Ael are beautiful people. You know, when one of the parents has a little notoriety, it’s always tricky. We freak out because children are often ‘splattered’ by the media system. But I assure you: at home, neither of them presented himself in life as the son or daughter of Florent Pagny. The little sentence that begins with ‘Do you know who my father is?’, none of that with us! On the contrary. Our children have always kept a low profile. And naturally”, thus confided with pride the author of Pagny by Florent.

I had the chance to experience everything at the same time. When I’m there, my songs play on the radio here. My presence is permanent. If I had been an actor or an employee, this double life would not have been possible…”
