Beauty and the Bum | M6 | 66 minutes

The question is on everybody’s lips in the community of Puy Saint-Pierre in the Hautes-Alpes: how could Sandrine have married Marcel? How could a cute Parisienne blonde of 42 have fallen in love with a hardened bachelor of 67 with no physical attraction and a rude life style? Their wedding made the headlines: the man, who lives like a recluse, without water or electricity, is living a fairy tale. “He’s my caveman. I love him because he’s different.” says the lady. But the village gossips suspect this is a marriage for money: Marcel owns land that could rise in value because of the nearby resort of Serre-Chevalier. In an exclusive for 66 Minutes the couple give their story in order to deny the rumours.
