A attachment so strong that he ended up investing in the town. Similarly, In the last municipal elections, Jean Reno was elected municipal councilor in charge of major events and international relations. However, A legitimate role with regard to its impressive cinematographic journey and a notoriety that goes far beyond our borders. While he is celebrating his 77th birthday this Wednesday. July 30, 2025, Purepeople tried to know what the inhabitants of Baux-de-Provence think of their famous elected official.

“Jean Reno signed my act of sale but physically, I have never seen it …”

In this small town which has less than 300 inhabitants (year -round, can be understood), difficult to go unnoticed. Especially when you measure almost 1.90 meters and embodied Leon or the unforgettable Godefroy de Montmirail. excluded “we do not see And yet.

Throughout our investigation, an observation is essential: Jean Reno is very, very discreet. Those who crossed him insist on his kindness, his simplicity. But there are many who wonder about his real presence.

Joint by Purepeoplethe chef of a village restaurant. installed for ten years behind his stoves, has never had the opportunity to shake hands with him. “Maybe he passes when I’m in the kitchen ”he slides, half convinced. Same remark in another establishment. “We bought here four years ago. We saw his name on the act of sale he signed, but he, physically, never. He must love his tranquility”supposes the merchant.

“Jean Reno is witnessing the municipal councils”

On the side of the town hall. an elected official should probably not go unnoticed? “He is witnessing the municipal councilsbut it is outside the opening hours of the reception. therefore, we do not see it ”we are slipped to the standard. excluded “we do not see Same response to the tourist office. “I have been working here for three years and I haven’t crossed it yet. I see his name, sometimes, for official reservations, but that’s all”explains an employee.

Perhaps we will have more luck in a place of art like the Yves Brayer museum. named after the painter who loved the colors of Provence so much? “I’ve been working here for 13 years and I didn’t have the honor to meet him. A man so known, it would have made me happy, however … ” confides an employee.

Same story on the side of a merchant installed in leases since 1972. Additionally, “I only saw him once. It was just before the municipal election, when the mayor presented her team. He was there. It was the only time. It’s a bit weird. Well, to be honest, we don’t see much the excluded “we do not see other elected officials much … But as for Jean Reno as we say with us, it’s the Arlesian. ”

Mystery … How to explain that a man installed for over 35 years in a commune of which he is a. municipal councilor is so visible there? Two local figures give us the start of an answer.

“In summer, when tourists surge, Jean Reno does not set foot outside …”

Nathalie, owner of the hotel Queen Jeanne, Confirm: “I see him very rarely. He came to eat at my house a few times. but in summer, when tourists swept, he does not set foot outside. He is very nice, very pleasant, but also very discreet.” A discretion that she has seen on several occasions, having already met her in other hotel establishments over her career.

Éric, at the head of Mas of Aigretalso tells enlightening anecdotes as to the character. “I drank a coffee with excluded “we do not see him A January 1st in a local bistro. He’s super nice. He previously lived in a house whose location was known and tourists took a picture. Furthermore, He moved further, away, in the countryside. I sometimes pass in front of his home with my jeep. the place offers a superb view, but I only see the guards. That said. I can confirm that he lives well here and that he is working well for the city: My wife also takes theater lessons he has set up for the town. As for my daughter, she takes singing lessons With his son Michaël. In the end. I think that if we don’t see Jean Reno much, it is that he is not there all the time since he also has his life in Paris and that he is just discreet, and does not, as such, want to show himself. ”

In Baux-de-Provence. Jean excluded “we do not see Reno, who no longer feels very young, therefore seems to be trying to play the leading roles, preferring to be stolen from the show by the beauty of the place. A way to savor the decor … without being the attraction.
