Quevauvillers (Somme), the village of Jean-Pierre Pernaut’s heart, woke up very sad following the announcement of his death, Wednesday March 2. The journalist grew up in this town of 1,100 inhabitants, near Amiens. He has always put forward his Picardy roots, sometimes sending small nods to his region in his diary. The inhabitants of Quevauvillers had a weakness for this presenter defender of rurality.
Jean-Pierre Pernaut cut his teeth in his native region. He worked at Courrier Picard before joining the ORTF.
