    Élizabeth Bourgine's home life in Paris

    When she's not busy filming with Ralf Little, Don Warrington and her other co-stars in Guadeloupe, Élizabeth, 66, spends her time in Paris, where she lives with her husband, writer and director Jean-Luc Miesch, near the Luxembourg Gardens.

    Unlike some of her other co-stars, who stay in the Caribbean for the six months it takes to film each series, Élizabeth travels back and forth. "I come for a week, sometimes two weeks, sometimes just four days and then go back," she told HELLO! during an exclusive interview

    Speaking about her love for the French city, the actress said: "I love Paris because I have all my memories here: when I had my first bicycle, when I went to the theatre for the first time. I was very young, it was like guignol [puppet theatre].

    "I just feel at home. I love the colour of the light, the colour of the buildings, everything. I love it. I feel comfortable here," she added.
