Face of the France 3 show for nearly forty years, host Georges Pernoud died at the age of 73 after sharing his passion for the sea with millions of viewers ... in all its forms.

“It's a great man who left, a source of inspiration for me.

Thalassa

was a program that took me on a journey during my childhood and adolescence, which also allowed me to rebel sometimes.

And which awakened in me the desire to leave my native Auvergne and myself to take off.

[…] It is with emotion that I say a last "good luck" to her, ”she underlined.

"He gave me recommendations"

The former presenter of the weather forecast on BFMTV, met Georges Pernoud “in the corridors of France Télévisions”.

"He gave me recommendations, he was afraid that his show would be distorted and lose its substance and its identity," she said.

And to add: “I told him how the stakes of protecting the oceans were a very big concern, and that my engagement was not going to turn tack.

He was okay with that and he told me about his children, who are very involved in the environment ”.
