Por TF1 viewers, the presenter will be remembered more than the weather report from last weekend. In front of the map of France, Ange Noiret, suit and tie, well-trimmed beard and frank smile, made a strong impression in front of 4.7 million viewers. Yet no one could have assumed that one day he would find himself in front of a camera.
“Ease” and “charisma”
“That’s it, they put Ange Noiret. It will be a heat wave all year round. » « When talent, ease, charisma, sympathy come together, it can only make viewers want to watch the weather forecast on TF1. “Difficult to find on social networks negative reviews of the performance of Ange Noiret, chosen by the management to present punctually on TF1 the weather forecasts of the holidays.

A few years later, armed with his baccalaureate, the young man hesitated about his professional choices. “I joined an engineering school but I quit after a year,” he explains. Passionate about animated films, like those of the Japanese Miyazaki, he finds himself in a design school where he stays for two years, before leaving. “I was 21 and I still didn’t know what I wanted to do in life,” he recalls with a laugh. Athlete, “loving France” and wanting to quickly find a job or training, he joined the Air Force.
Helicopter pilot
Anyone who dreamed of becoming a helicopter pilot will not be able to take control of an aircraft. In question: his myopia. “I was told that they had meteorological needs, and I said to myself why not. Ange Noiret completes his eight months of military training before following a one-year course at the National School of Meteorology in Toulouse.
“Army, air, navy, civilians, we were all together. We have access to satellite images, data from all the weather stations. That’s it, he feels it, Ange has just discovered a passion for the weather. After “having worked like never before”, he chose the base in Orléans, near Paris.

Its arrival coincides with that of the A400M transporters, “fantastic transport aircraft”. He finds himself doing weather briefings in front of the pilots. He also carried out a mission in Jordan, in direct radio contact with the French fighters. And like any soldier, he participates in the VigiPirate and Sentinel operation by carrying out patrols like in the airports of Paris Orly and Aix-en-Provence, which dull his desire to stay in the army.
Weather Channel
“I sent CVs and I was taken on by the Weather Channel,” he explains calmly. He then experimented with the first presentations in front of an audience, “where you have to popularize” and “speak to an audience that is not necessarily a specialist”. After four years, an opportunity opens up for LCI to make a replacement.
