Sabine Quindou is no stranger to anyone! And if you don’t know his first and last name, you’ve probably already seen his face. Indeed, from November 1999 to 2012, the beautiful brunette joined Frédéric Courant and Jamy Gourmaud in order to co-present the fun science popularization show It’s not rocket science. However, if she appears less in the last years of the program, it is also because her schedule no longer allows it. The proof, in 2008, the young woman then aged 38 was hired by Georges Pernoud for the iconic show Thalassa. A very nice memory that the latter had evoked during son interview with Jordan De Luxe on C8.
“For two years, he took me around the world, extraordinary”Sabine Quindou then clarified about her adventure with the famous host for the iconic show previously broadcast on France 3. A short period which preceded the moment when she became a presenter alongside him, before finally taking the reins completely from the show years later. However, the transition would not have really been to everyone’s taste. And particularly Georges Pernoud. “At the time, Georges didn’t want a transition.”explained the host from Martinique before specifying: “Thalassa is him, for a very long time he didn’t want to leave”.
Sabine Quindou contacted Georges Pernoud’s family before taking over Thalassa
If she left the show in 2012, it was to return to it almost ten years later in 2020. Only a year before the death of Georges Pernoud, who had created Thalassa in 1975 and finally stopped the program in 2017 during a special program dedicated to him. “When I knew that I was going to join the Thalassa team, I sent a note to the Pernoud family, because I am in contact with his daughters, and I told them ‘here it is I who was chosen'”said Sabine Quindou about her return to the head of the program.
From now on, and while it has given way to the presentation of Thalassa to Diego Buñuel, it is in Beautiful escapes that we find Sabine Quindou. Indeed, the latter recently joined the band of France 5 travel hosts.
Watch Echappées belles, broadcast this Saturday, November 16 at 9 p.m. on France 5.
