Emmanuel Macron chaired this Friday, November 11 the commemorations of the Armistice of 1918. The ceremony took place at the Arc de Triomphe, in Paris. The opportunity for the Head of State to meditate at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Brigitte Macron’s husband also paid tribute to the military, but also to all the soldiers and citizens who died for France.
For his part, Jean Dujardin certainly followed the event closely. And for good reason, that same day, the husband of Nathalie Péchalat took to his social networks to honor his maternal great-grandfather “Pierre Henri Taillantou died on September 9, 1916 in Verdun”, as he captioned his Instagram post. The opportunity for the star to lift the veil on his tragic story… To do so, Jean Dujardin relayed an article that transcribed it perfectly.
“We got in touch by email…”
The First World War is undoubtedly one of the darkest episodes of the past century. Thousands of soldiers lost their lives or were seriously injured. Many of them have known the galleys of the trenches. More than a century ago, the grandfather of Jean Dujardin launched himself on enemy lines to defend his homeland. Unfortunately the hairy and other brothers in arms did not survive the assault on Fleury. Moreover, his body was never found.
Shocked by this tragic end, the ex-boyfriend of Alexandra Lamy then appealed to Vincent Jacquot, head of the company Mirabelle Towers based in Vavincourt. The company is used to tracing the circuits of the Great War. Especially in Verdun where bloody battles were orchestrated. Countless corpses are there “fallen on the field of honor”. “He had wanted to come for ten years,” confided Vincent Jacquot for Vosges. Morning. “We got in touch by email, but then it was he who chose the route”. A timeless pilgrimage that marked Jean Dujardin at all levels. In Douaumont, the artist had a stone engraved at the Verdun ossuary in honor of his ancestor so that his name would never be forgotten…
