Popular actress and discreet singer, Claire Keim has maintained a close connection with a very particular region for years: the Basque Country, where she has chosen to settle permanently. A small corner of paradise beloved by many other celebrities, such as Laury Thilleman, Anne-Sophie Lapix, and Alexandra Rosenfeld.
Claire Keim: her love at first sight for the Basque Country
Living in the Southwest with her partner since 2006, former footballer Bixente Lizarazu, who is native to the region, and their daughter Uhaina, born in 2008, Claire Keim regularly speaks about her attachment to this territory. She has found a living environment that suits her.
In an interview with Sud Ouest in 2022, the actress simply summarizes her priority as “being happy”. This balance is largely associated with this region between the sea and the mountains, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris. She admits to being “so in love” and describes a place that “heals” and “repairs”, conducive to rejuvenation.
The strength and gentleness of the Basque Country
Preserved landscapes, local traditions, and a more peaceful way of life all contribute to this balance. Claire Keim mentions the vultures above the peaks, the pottoks in the meadows, and the popular summer festivals. Beyond the natural setting, daily life highlights a culture characterized by a blend of “strength and gentleness”, as well as a simplicity to which she considers herself sensitive.
This lifestyle is also reflected in her daily routine, with a focus on local consumption, the environment, and simple things. After more than twenty years in the region, the actress considers herself lucky to be able to live there with her family. She sees herself as “extremely privileged”. Her only regret: not being born Basque!
