The French-born couple, who met 12 years ago in West Ham United goalkeeper Alphonse's native Paris, bought their "maison de rêve", situated in an exclusive part of the capital, this summer largely because its nine bedrooms, seven bathrooms and four spacious living areas could amply accommodate their extended family when they visit.
And next week that will be tested in spectacular style when 20 of Alphonse and Marrion's nearest and dearest converge on them for a festive celebration to cherish.

While choosing to embrace this as "life enriching", the seemingly unflappable former financial adviser, who quit her own flourishing career to travel with her husband, admits she is hoping this latest house move will be their last for some time.
"It would be nice for the girls to be settled but the reality is, with football, you never know," she tells HELLO!. "I always try to think positive about it for Alphonse.
