French actress Laura Smet, daughter of rock legend Johnny Hallyday, has opted for a French holiday destination this summer, stepping away from her home in Cap-Ferret, Gironde. The choice reflects her desire to explore new parts of her home country while remaining connected to the region she loves.
According to recent reports, Smet has been seen in the picturesque region of Provence, where she is enjoying a quieter retreat. The actress, known for her roles in films like La Promesse de l'aube and Les Chevaliers du ciel, has often spoken about her attachment to the Atlantic coast, but this year she decided to vary her usual vacation spots.
Despite being away, Smet has not forgotten the challenges facing Gironde, particularly the ongoing environmental and coastal erosion issues that have affected the region. In interviews, she has expressed solidarity with local communities and emphasized the importance of preserving the natural beauty of the area.
The actress's choice highlights a broader trend among French celebrities to support domestic tourism, especially in regions that have faced difficulties. Her social media posts from the trip have encouraged fans to discover lesser-known French destinations.
As of early August 2026, Smet continues her holiday, balancing relaxation with a mindful awareness of the issues affecting her beloved Gironde.
