"It is true that in La Louvière, tells Dragone, we have handicaps which we would not have somewhere else, in terms of activities and hotel infrastructures. Nevertheless, this allows to the artists to concentrate on the show. They have nothing to distract themselves, and it generates a certain introspective quality". As for Celine : "What I want it is to be with Franco, with the team, she says. I would have followed him wherever, even up to Mouk Mouk islands". "La Louvière is going to offer me a present, is going to give me the chance to rediscover me myself", Celine says. "For the first time in my career, I am going to be able to take time, surrounded well, to exclusively dedicate me to the show. I long to go there, to work there, to live there, with my family. It is a new experience. I attach it a big importance". "The house to Bousval (22 miles southeast of Brussels) is magnificent, my family likes it. We have a swimming pool, it is the big luxury. From our arrival, my son hurried to run through the house. We feel at home". La Louvière is a Walloon city and municipality located in the Belgian province of Hainaut.

The very nice fittings inside the house are said to have seduced the star: marble floors, luxurious bathrooms, swimming pool. Schmit let the house with the furniture.
