Mireille, French Château Owner Joins Dutch B&B Vol Liefde as New Contestant

Mireille, proprietor of the 14th‑century Château Le Combet in La Répara‑Auriples, southern France, has become the ninth single participant on the Dutch dating‑reality series B&B Vol Liefde. After the death of her husband Jaap in 2024, she has run the bed‑and‑breakfast alone for two years with the help of her dachshund, Doortje. The show, broadcast on Videoland, pairs B&B owners with potential partners, and Mireille hopes to find a versatile man who can handle both hard‑working tasks on the estate and elegant dinner settings. Her candidacy was announced in the latest episode, highlighting her love of cooking, fine wines, and a desire to end the loneliness of managing the historic château.

Mireille describes herself as an “elitaire, goedgebekte dame” with humor and strong opinions, and she is eager to share her French lifestyle with a new companion. The addition of her story adds a French flair to the Dutch program, which follows eight other contestants seeking love through their hospitality businesses.
