(France 2)
Alain Delon passed away at the age of 88 in his residence in Douchy, in the Loiret. It was his children who announced his death, on the morning of Sunday, August 18. In front of the gates of his home, many admirers came to pay tribute to him.
For Alain Delon, his residence in Douchy (Loiret) was a landmark. For his fans, it became a place of contemplation on Sunday, August 18. The giant of French cinema died around 3 a.m., behind the gates of his residence, now covered in flowers. He was 88 years old. His children announced his death in a statement to AFP.
In addition to his children, the death of Alain Delon leaves his many admirers orphaned, who sometimes came with their souvenirs in front of his residence. An accordionist salutes his legendary career by playing a few notes from the film Borsalino. It is an old promise.He jokingly told me: ‘If one day I’m no longer here, try playing in front of my gate,’ says the accordionist.
At a florist in the village, we receive calls from all over France. The managers have specially stayed open on Sunday afternoon. They are a few steps from the actor’s residence. In Douchy, Alain Delon was clearly not a neighbor like the others.
