A well-known face in Lot-et-Garonne, Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne is preparing to marry former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher. A highly publicized marriage, at the heart of a series broadcast in Germany, which highlights the journey of a Lot-et-Garonnais man now in the international spotlight.

But the event goes far beyond the private setting. Their union will be at the heart of a documentary broadcast in Germany by the Sky Deutschland group. A four-episode series that promises to take viewers behind the scenes of the couple: wedding preparation, daily life, joint projects and accepted differences. Highlight of the system: the ceremony itself, organized in Saint-Tropez and broadcast in prime time. An assumed format, between intimate story and media exposure, where the couple chooses to tell their story without filter.
Former figure of Lot-et-Garonne
In the Lot-et-Garonne department, Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne remains above all a well-known figure: former legislative candidate under the RN banner, municipal councilor in Villeneuve-sur-Lot then regional councilor of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. After more than a decade of activism, he decided in 2020 to retire from active political life.
A journey which is also part of a marked family history. He is the son of Serge Bousquet-Cassagne, president of Rural Coordination 47 and a key figure in the local agricultural world.
“It seems natural to us to take the step of marriage in private, but also in public”
Behind this media exposure there is also a more discreet family story. On December 29, 2013, Michael Schumacher was the victim of a serious skiing accident in Méribel, Savoie. Since then, very little information has filtered out about his state of health, his family having chosen to strictly preserve his privacy.

Today, a new page opens. Alongside Ralf Schumacher, Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne takes on a unique trajectory, combining Lot-et-Garonne roots and international visibility. “It seems natural to us to take the step of marriage in private, but also in public,” he concludes to Sky Deutschland.
