217 Responses

1. Thomas Bangalter – assuming he brings some great music with him!

2. Sara Mortensen, she is actually French Norwegian, but she is my favourite character as an autistic criminologist in the French television series Astrid: Murder in Paris. I would love to find out how different she is in real life from the character she portrays so well :0

3. I would like to share (several!) bottles of Burgundy with Fred Sirieix. He’s adventurous, funny, well travelled and would love to learn how to taste wine properly from him … (and then get unashamedly drunk ! :))

4. Christine and the Queens, I think it would be very interesting and special

5. Redcar because their music is great.

6. Raymond Blanc because hopefully he’d bring the food and I could listen to him for hours

7. I would share with Eric Cantona so that I can advise him to stop singing!

26. I would go back in time and share a bottle with Victor Hugo and thank him for writing Les Miserables: I have to admit I’ve never read the book but I saw the stage adaptation three times and was lucky to be a supporting actor in the film, some of which was filmed at Chatham Dockyard. I was a peasant and sang ‘At the end of the Day’ and then chopped off fish heads in a market scene while Javert (Russell Crowe) rode past on a horse – one of the best films I’ve been an ‘extra’ in.

27. I would love to share a bottle of wine with Jacques Cousteau. His underwater adventures inspired me from a young age and I went on to learn how to scuba dive and have, because of this, enjoyed many exotic water based holidays. I can remember seeing him on the TV when I was a child and not believing that someone could enter that wonderful underwater world. I don’t dive anymore but would like to thank him for inspiring me.

48. Marco Pierre white as he could prepare us a lovely meal to pair with the wine

49. Sara Mortensen, who plays the Autistic title lead in Astrid, Murder in Paris. I have several Autistic people around me, who are all clever and difficult to understand at times, so it is fascinating to see Sara’s portrayal of Astrid, and heart-warming to see her character is valued for her brilliance. It cannot have been an easy acting job to have got her head around & I’d love to know how Sara tackled it. Fortunately, she is also fluent in English, as my French is not so good nowadays.

51. Eva Green, ma femme française préférée

75. Eric Cantona, because he has a great sense of humour and it would score huge kudos points with my son, who is a Manchester United fan.

76. Arsène Wenger: He’s a known lover of a good red, it would be easy to pick his brains about football but I am more interested in how his philosophy has moulded him and would like to talk all things Europe / Brexit with him and his thoughts on it all

77. I would love to share a bottle of Burgundy with Jean Paul Gaultier because I used to watch him on TV on Eurotrash back in the ’90’s and he seems like he would be so entertaining and such a laugh, plus he would also have some very interesting behind the scenes stories about other celebrities from his years in the fashion industry!

The thought of sitting across from her, savoring the rich flavors of the wine while engrossed in conversation, fills me with excitement. Marion’s elegance and talent have always captivated me. Her ability to effortlessly portray a wide range of characters on screen is truly admirable.

138. I would choose Thomas Pésquet to share my bottle of burgundy. I can imagine the stories would get more interesting as we got further down the bottle! Thomas is a French astronaut who was a two-time resident of the International Space Station. He speaks 6 languages, is a Judo black belt and plays the saxophone, including playing the final notes of La Marseillaise on the International Space Station to celebrate the Olympic handover for Paris 2024.

140. Eric Cantona to discover the man behind the enigma , listen to his pearls of wisdom and discover his knowledge of football and all things artistic

141. Sharing a bottle of Burgundy with President Emmanuel Macron would be a fascinating experience for several reasons. President Macron is not only a prominent political figure but also known for his intellect, eloquence, and vision for France and the world. A conversation over a fine Burgundy could provide a unique opportunity to discuss a wide range of topics, from politics and governance to international relations and global challenges. A meeting that would be both entertaining and educational!

146. Francois Macron, do I have to explain 😉

147. I would choose to share a bottle of wine with Henri Toulouse Lautrec. To take a moment out of time, I would join him at his table in the Moulin Rouge. On introducing myself, I would ask if I could join him, and would he like to share a bottle of Burgundy with me. Whilst waiting for the wine to arrive, I would watch him paint. Henri liked the ladies, I would think, for he loved painting the tall, willowy
     Doris’s girls, who would be kicking their legs above their heads, holding their frilly dresses high, whilst dancing the can can. “Tell me about yourself Henri?” I would ask…,……….

148. Emma Watson, technically French as she was born in Paris. It would be great to chat with her, I think with her acting, environmental and activist pursuits it would make for great conversation.

154. Gerard Depardieu as he is so charismatic and would make me laugh but also could be a delight to dine with.

155. I’d love to share a bottle of burgundy with French author Antoine Laurain. As author of Vintage 1954, a humorous time-travelling tale in which wine plays a very important ‘plot-progressing’ role, I reckon he’d be up for sharing ‘une bouteille de vin’!

     I first discovered this author when I picked up ‘The President’s Hat’ in a charity shop, and have since read everything he has written – well, everything he’s written that has been translated into English. His books are all so quirky, and they are all so different. I’d love to know where he gets his story ideas from, especially for his most recent novel ‘An astronomer in Love’ which is my favourite of all his books.

156. I am bringing someone back from the dead for the night – Edith Piaf. She had a complex life knowing great hardship and suffering personal problems as well as knowing the intense joy that comes from doing something you love and are talented at. I would love to hear about the two sides of her life and personality and what better way to do it sharing a bottle of Burgundy. Je ne regret rien

157. I’d loved to have met the composer Erik Satie because he sounds like such an eccentric, interesting and talented man

158. David Ginola because I love football and he was a great footballer and throughly nice person.

159. Zinedine Zidane (Zizou) the greatest living french footballer would be my choice with whom to share a bottle of Burgundy.

     Quelle perfection.

160. Perhaps Asterix the Gaul. That certainly would be interesting!

161. I would love to spend an evening with Gaspard Ulliel, I’m sure he’s really great company, and very easy on the eye.

162. Eric Cantona! As a massive United fan I’m not expecting much conversation from him, but what an interesting character!!

163. Christian Louboutin – just love the shoes and handbags so would be amazing to talk about how he decided to go in to the fashion business and where the ideas come from.

164. Coco Chanel, I’d ask her for some style tips

165. Eric Cantona – I might persuade him to change his drink from Kronenbourg to Burgundy wine!

166. For me it would be Jacques Cousteau. He’s brave, intrepid and would have plenty of very interesting conversation. I’ve been a fan of his for many years and although he may find me dull in comparison, I would certainly enjoy asking him about his underwater adventures and documentary making. I think it would be an evening full of intriguing delights and new experiences.

167. Ryan Reynolds as I think he will have some stories and be fun

168. I would love to share a bottle with the lovely Juliette Binoche. She would be fun, entertaining and would be able to share her great appreciation of French culture – particularly the wines of Burgundy!

169. After meeting him once such a lovely man who cooks great food and has such enthusiasm for growing your own food it has to be Raymond Blanc.

170. Antoine Dupont. we’d have a couple of bottles watching the 6 nations and he can share his secrets to success

171. Albert Camus! It would be fascinating to hear more about The Stranger and how he came to write it. His thoughts about existentialism are clearly laid out in the novel, and surely a nice glass of French wine would be the natural accompaniment to the conversation!

172. Clemence Poesy definitely, i’d love to hear about Harry Potter and In Bruges, and she is stunningly beautiful!

173. Jean-Paul Belmondo. I loved his films, and would be very interested to talk to him about them.

174. I would share a bottle with Laurent Baffie. His TV sketches provided many laughs whilst improving my comprehension of spoken French.

175. Raymond Blanc would be my choice to share a glass with as I would have wonderful conversations about fabulous food combinations and favourite wines of the world

176. Vincent Cassel is the French celebrity l would share a glass of wine with because he is drop dead gorgeous !

177. Arsene Wenger so that we could have a sophisticated chat about football!

178. I’d love to share a few glasses with Jean-Paul Belmondo. He was my first crush when I saw him in movies while working as au pair near Paris in the 1970s. Not classically handsome, but wow what a wicked twinkle! I’d be too tongue tied to speak!

179. It would have to be Vincent Cassell , a fantastic actor but I think the night might get a bit wild !

180. I’d love to share a glass with Eric Cantona to discuss all things football.

181. Brad Pitt please. No other comment necessary.

199. Patrick bruel… so he can teach me a few poker tricks whilst sharing a cheeky bottle of Pinot Noir

200. I would choose Claude Monet as I admire his paintings and I would aim to get him tipsy enough to agree to paint my portrait but not drunk enough that it turns out a disaster!

201. Claude Monet as I love his paintings and would love to get him drunk and then persuade him to do my portrait!

202. Eric Cantona, in order to see how genuine he is!

203. President Macron, just to get his views on the world. Also he must have access to the best wines from France.

204. President Macron. Especially if he brings his lovely black Labrador. The one who expressed his feelings about a meeting so eloquently in the palace fireplace.

211. Marco Pierre White; who better to share a bottle of Burgundy with?
     Along with a perfectly paired meal cooked by him of course!

212. Bridget Bardot would be my choice. I’d love to discuss her transitions into and out of her “sex kitten” persona. Her later years contentment, plus – like me – her love of animals. Absolutely amazing woman.

213. My ideal evening would be to chat with Vanessa Paradis over a glass of wine or two. I remember her appearing on top of the pops in the 80’s singing “Joe le taxi”. Since then she has been a model and actor, and won many award’s. She has led a very interesting life, including marrying a Hollywood star. It would be an entertaining evening.

214. I would love to share a bottle with the actor Gérard Depardieu. He is love of wine is renowned to the point he allegedly listed his occupation on his passport as a vigneron (wine maker)!

215. It’s a bit of a cheat as he’s American French, but I’d choose actor Timothee Chalamet as he’d find my Hull accent sexy!

216. Not a celebrity but the wonderful couple, Pierre and Marie who we rented a gite in the Auvergne from pre covid. They treated us to a wonderful meal typical of the region. It would be wonderful to return their hospitality.
