A voice that carries, a marked Franche-Comté accent, and a foolproof smile: Laure is one of the figures who has gradually asserted herself in "Koh-Lanta: Les Armes secrètes", the seventh episode of which is broadcast this Friday evening on TF1.
The farmer, who lives in the Doubs, never stops and is on her tractor when answering our call.
At the head of a dairy farm with her father, the 26-year-old young woman took advantage of her profession during her adventure in Polynesia: “My strengths in
Koh-Lanta
are my mind and my determination.
Farming is a difficult job, so we are hardened, we do not give up.
At the physical level too, it pays to run after the cows!
"
Proud to show "another facet of agriculture"
Laure is also very proud to represent her world in the show: "The public sees another facet of agriculture, not just single farmers who seek love", she slips in reference to the M 6 program "Love is in the meadow".
Getting up every morning at 4.50 am to work until 7 pm, Laure is not the type to complain.
And when we ask her what was the hardest in "Koh-Lanta", she has a startling response: "There are not necessarily hard things.
These are just beautiful memories even being hungry, even enduring the rain for hours at a time, even sleeping on the floor.

Impressive during the obstacle course test last week, Laure could not believe it: “At the start, I was playing so as not to be in the last places.
In the end, I am surprised with my performance, even if I really wanted to win an individual totem pole to thank my dad for letting me go.
"
A father whose footsteps she followed, in this family of farmers from generation to generation.
“I grew up in that environment and it always made me feel better.
After an agricultural baccalaureate, I started working with my dad.
In
Koh-Lanta, it
was unthinkable for me to leave before reunification, she says.
Otherwise, he would have been too disappointed.
"
Laure's adventure is almost inseparable from that of Maxine, her friend from the red team still running alongside her.
“From the start, we had a connection.
Without looking at each other, without speaking to each other, we know what the other is thinking, it's pretty crazy.
Even I can't explain it!
exclaims the breeder.
Since the show, there hasn't been a day when we haven't been in contact.
"
"For the elimination of Candice, I have no regrets"
A pair that was behind the elimination of Candice a few weeks ago after playing an impressive comedy so that the Red Captain does not protect herself with her immunity collar.
A pure strategy that its instigator fully assumes.
“At the start of the adventure, we met up with Maxine in the woods.
She asked me:
Are you a strategist?
I told him
No, how about you?
She told me
No
and in the end, we both surprise each other, it was a side of us that we didn't know.
For the elimination of Candice, I have no regrets because if we had done otherwise, it would have changed the whole adventure.
"
Travel desires
The maneuver still ignited some of the viewers, and earned the two adventurers many violent reactions on social networks, such as after their decision to eliminate the red men, Frédéric and Hervé, last Friday.
"I do not care, it goes over me, launches the farmer.
As long as my loved ones and I are proud of my journey, people can say whatever they want.
"
If Laure assures us that "Koh-Lanta" has changed absolutely nothing in her everyday life, she admits all the same to having new intentions "it made me want to travel.
We have a lot of projects with Maxine at this level.
The idea is to think about myself a little more and be less headstrong at work.
