Catherine Frot: Prefers Her Quiet Corsican Home to Luxurious Destinations, Disturbed Only by Boars

In 2024, Catherine Frot had agreed to open up to Parisien Week-End, revealing a more intimate facet of her life. There we learned in particular that the actress owned a very beautiful secondary residence in Corsica. A discreet property, but one that holds a special place for her.

Catherine Frot’s Urge to Escape

During this interview, Catherine Frot’s admirers could learn a little more about her moments of pause, and her activities when she’s not filming. The actress looked back on everything that allowed her to escape somewhat from the intense pace of her career.

She spoke in particular of a need for calm and escape, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris. She thus shared memories or habits tied to her free time. Catherine Frot stressed especially the importance of the places she chooses to recharge her batteries, places capable of providing her with a real sense of getting away.

Catherine Frot’s Holiday Home in Calvi

It was about fifteen years ago that the actress bought a small house on the Isle of Beauty. This retreat perched on the heights above Calvi has become essential to her life balance. The setting there remains wild, between the sea and the mountains. Catherine Frot continues to spend a large part of her summers there.

For the actress, this place represents much more than a simple secondary residence. There, she enjoys a slower pace of life than in Paris. Even in winter, she says she finds a particular charm. “I enjoy the nature and the silence, which are only disturbed by wild boars,” she confided on this topic in the same interview.

The Actress Remains Very Close to Her Adopted Daughter

Besides her Corsican residence, the actress also spoke about her family life, notably the relationship she shares with her adopted daughter Suzanne. “When my daughter Suzanne was little, we drew everywhere. In cafes, on vacation…”, she recounts.

Together, they shared moments that were very simple, but also very powerful, which remain etched in her memory.

Now an adult, Suzanne has chosen her own path, far from cinema. But despite the distance, mother and daughter continue to exchange regularly and to dedicate a great deal of affection to one another. “The best actress, the best mom, the best singer and the most beautiful person I know… I love you and I’m proud of you, César or not,” Suzanne wrote on Facebook.
