French TV Host Béatrice Schönberg’s 20-Year Love Affair with Morocco

Between the French journalist and television host Béatrice Schönberg and Morocco, it’s a love story that endures.
For over 20 years, Béatrice Schönberg – whose real name is Béatrice Szabó – has been multiplying her stays in Marrakech. Her husband Jean-Louis Borloo and she had a 700-square-meter villa built near the Amelkis golf course in 2004, a year before their union. With her eponymous foundation, she supports the education of young girls in Morocco, alongside the local association En route pour l’école. The foundation has assigned itself the mission to "give little girls access to school, [...] open the doors to education, their rights, their freedom...", as can be read on the website of this patronage organization.
For the French journalist, "educating a little girl is a duty but also a sensible act for our future as a whole!" After 2015, the Béatrice Schönberg Foundation implemented several projects, some in partnership with the ADP Group Foundation (Aéroports de Paris). For example, it welcomed 48 girls in a study house in Asni, at the foot of the High Atlas mountains, in 2020.
On Friday, the woman who presented the weekend news broadcasts on France 2 for 10 years celebrated her 72nd birthday.
