"Everyone is in the know"
For Hélène de Fougerolles, the exclusive couple implies a lot of pressure.
"You put all your expectations on the same person who, the poor thing, must fit into all the boxes," she observes.
"And you have to fill in all of its boxes in return. It's very complicated."
Polyamory, which consists of having several couple relationships at the same time, is for Hélène de Fougerolles synonymous with freedom.
"When you say to yourself, 'I love this person for such and such reasons, and this other person for such and such other reasons,' you open up possibilities," she explains.

The actress recalls that polyamory has nothing to do with infidelity: "Everyone knows about it."
And that his freedom also applies to his lovers.
“They themselves have other lovers,” says Hélène de Fougerolles.
"Some don't. In that case, I say 'I want to go, if you want to have this love affair with this person'."
The end of jealousy?
Polyamory is also a different way of understanding the person you are in a relationship with, according to Hélène de Fougerolles.
"The stories of territory no longer exist when you are polyamorous, you no longer belong to someone," she explains.
"That's what I like about polyamory: we love someone for what they give us, not because they belong to us."
A mode of operation that allows, according to the actress, the end of jealousy.
