Willy Rovelli at the château

June 20, 2024

Thursday June 13, 2024, was an exceptional day for Château de Fayolle, marked by the pleasant visit of Willy Rovelli and his merry tribe! 

Before popping in to say hello to the France Bleu Périgord teams and then heading to Bergerac to host his show "Willy Rovelli vient déjeuner chez vous", the beloved comedian made a stop at Château de Fayolle! 

Willy Rovelli and his tribe at Château de Fayolle 

On their way to Bergerac to record their cult show "Willy Rovelli vient déjeuner chez vous" on France Bleu, Willy Rovelli and his tribe of Fabien Emo and Nicolas Malaboeuf made a detour to Château de Fayolle... much to our delight! 

Willy Rovelli and Grégory Mangeret: the bond you never imagined! 

Grégory Mangeret, the new owner of Château de Fayolle in Tocane Saint-Apre, is also Willy Rovelli's producer! That's right, Grégory is a man of many hats: he produces artists and events for the general public that combine Culture and Entertainment via his company Les Productions Adonis, which he founded in 2014.

Willy Rovelli is a well-known figure to the French public. A man of radio, television and stage, he has won over the hearts of France Bleu listeners. France Bleu listeners and Fort Boyard viewers alike, thanks to his hard-hitting humor and unrivalled generosity.

After a first stand-up in 2014 and a second two years later, Willy was planning to return to the stage in 2020 with a new show. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic interrupted his plans, putting the brakes on his project. That's when Grégory Mangeret, our beloved owner of Château de Fayolle and, above all, producer, stepped in. Convinced that this return to the stage was essential for Willy and his many fans, Grégory created the right conditions for this project, so dear to Willy, to finally see the light of day. This unfailing support enabled the artist to get off to a flying start and prepare this new chapter in his career with all the passion and energy that characterize him.

Period theater: Willy Rovelli's favorite! 

Willy, a keen heritage and history buff, showed a keen interest in the château's exceptional architecture and rich history. He was particularly fascinated by our period theater, the real gem of the Château de Fayolle. When we entered the theater, Willy was quick to give free rein to his creativity. We had the privilege of witnessing improvisations where, carried away by the unique atmosphere of the theater, Willy provoked, as he often does, our hilarity. An unforgettable moment that we'll cherish for a long time to come!

And who knows? Maybe you'll hear from Willy Rovelli again at Château de Fayolle! With Willy, it's never safe to be... surprised! 😉 Stay tuned, because surprising synergies between the château and the artist could well be on the horizon.

"Heureux": Willy Rovelli's new show

    In his new show "Heureux", Willy Rovelli opens up like never before. The show, co-written with comedian Florian Gazan, promises to take audiences on an emotional and humorous journey as Willy shares his journey, his joys and his moments of doubt. "Heureux" isn't just a stand-up show, it's a real introspection, a window onto the real Willy, the one who overcame his ordeals to come back stronger than ever!

    Willy Rovelli will be touring France with his new show "Heureux" from September 6! Performances are scheduled in Amiens, Charleville Mezières, Cabries, Aix-en-Provence, Epinal, Paris, Le Mans... A unique opportunity to see Willy on stage!
