Belmondo, the funeral on Friday in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Jean-Paul Belmondo’s funeral will take place on Friday in Paris in the church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. This was announced by the lawyer, Me Michel Godest, of the actor who died at the age of 88. The ceremony will take place at 11am. The actor’s remains will be cremated. The day before, Thursday, the Elysée announced that a national tribute will be given to him in the complex of the Invalides. The national tribute was originally intended for the military, but has also been extended to civilians who have left an important mark in the history of French culture, as happened for example to Charles Aznavour in October 2018. “It will be decided with the Elysée protocol, the time and mode … “said Me Godest. Bébel was the absolute protagonist at the French box office for decades, after a sensational debut with ‘Until the last breath’ in 1960, the legendary film of the Nouvelle Vague.
