Disappearance of Paul-Henri Nargeolet: his daughter speaks on BFMTV
A few moments before this sad, the daughter of Paul-Henri Nargeolet had taken the floor to express his feelings. “My father knows how to handle stressful situations very well, especially in a submarine.

I hope there will be a good outcome, that they will find him, but in any case, he is happy where he is and that is reassuring.”.
