IN BRIEF

• During his appearance on RTL, Barbier presented his show 'Offenbach and the Three Emperors', where he plays the lead role without his iconic red scarf.
• Discover Pauline Courtin's amusing secrets about Christophe Barbier's famous red scarf and their life as a couple.

After being married more than 10 years with Yamini Kumar, Christophe Barbier is now Pauline Courtin's husband. And the musician made some confidences about the journalist on the microphone of RTL.

Indeed, Christophe Barbier's wife never minces her words. “She always defends me, but I'm the one who has to calm her down, otherwise she would be ready to go beat up those who speak ill of me.“ he had confided at the microphone of Jordan de Luxe.

Christophe Barbier questioned about his red scarf

During his appearance on RTL, Christophe Barbier came to present his show 'Offenbach and the Three Emperors'. He also has the main role and his wife Pauline Courtin also plays a character. “You play Offenbach on stage with the sideburns all that.” Thomas Sotto then claims. “Do you have the red scarf or not on stage ?”

Indeed, the former director of L'Express always wears a red scarf on his shoulders. “No no, Offenbach, the moustache is enough for him.” then replies Christophe Barbier. “You manage to make him take off his scarf or not ? Without intruding on your privacy…”then asks the RTL presenter, amused by the situation and by having the opportunity to ask the journalist's wife.

His wife, Pauline Courtin, lets herself go

Visibly caught off guard, Pauline Courtin then answered Thomas Sotto's question with humor. “So, I have to say.. Well, you want to know if he wears it in bed, no, he doesn't wear it. Otherwise, also at the beach, he doesn't wear it. Otherwise, it's very, very rare.” laughs Christophe Barbier's wife, who doesn't take this answer badly. “That's why I go rarely to the beach.“

As a reminder, Pauline Courtin is a soprano who discovered opera at her 18th birthday. “I had to undergo a minor surgical procedure, and by coincidence, Sumi Jo happened to be in the same hospital. We became friends, and she invited me to a performance of Comte Ory at the Aix en Provence Festival in 1995. I fell in love at first sight: the costumes, the sets, everything I liked it, and I discovered that you could act while singing. I immediately enrolled at the Marseille conservatory, in Tibère Raffalli's class. In the meantime, Sumi Jo had given me my first singing lessons.” she confided to ResMusica.
