The new edition of the Gala du Coeur, in favor of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque, took place on March 28 at the Salle Gaveau, in the 8th arrondissement of the capital. An event that shines the spotlight on the association which raises funds to finance the heart operation in France of several hundred seriously ill children from disadvantaged countries.
During this beautiful evening, it was necessary in particular to count on the actor Clovis Cornillac, currently on the poster of the film Shadow of a Lie. The latter had come with his wife Lilou Fogli. The charming couple, for example, was able to meet Doctor Frédéric Saldmann and his wife Marie, as well as Nicoletta and her husband Jean-Christophe Molinier, or even Patrice Leconte with his wife Agnès Béraud, Emmanuelle Galabru and her companion, Prince Michel of France and his wife Princess Barbara… If there was love in the air, everyone was keen to shed light on the actions carried out by Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque, represented at the gala by Francine Leca.
The list of VIPs was truly impressive and we can also mention the presence of the former journalist and presenter of the JT Patrick Poivre d’Arvor, who made a rare social trip despite the heavy accusations against him, Danièle Gilbert, Sylvie Elias Marshall, Gabrielle Lazure and her daughter Emma, Satya Oblette, Pauline Lefèvre – who had probably left her young children to her husband – or even Jeanne d’Hauteserre (mayor of the 8th arrondissement of Paris), Béatrice Uria-Monzon, Jean- Charles de Castelbajac, Laurent Amar, Dounia Coesens, Emmanuelle Boidron, Tonya Kinzinger, Pierre Barde, Annabelle Milot, Agatha Maksimova, Christophe Guillarmé, Alix Benezech, Sophie Cluzel, Roselyne Bachelot…
This heart gala is really important for the association and its finances. For example, during the edition which was held in 2019, a very nice check for the amount of 516,000 euros was collected, thus making it possible to operate on no less than 43 children in need!
