Thanks to the Miss France contest, the director of the organization has lived incredible moments with the husband of Nathalie Marquay. “Jean-Pierre is part of Miss France’s life and Miss France will never be the same without Jean-Pierre”, she confessed to our colleagues. As she pointed out, the proud father of four has been her “first support”. “I met him twenty years ago. It was the day of my election and of his meeting with Nathalie and, since then, there was always a place at his place, on the news, whether it was to talk about Miss Picardie or Miss Universe. He always welcomed us with open arms.” added Sylvie Tellier.
Despite his state of health, Jean-Pierre Pernaut agreed to be the president of the Miss France jury during the last ceremony. Evening at which Diane Leyre was crowned. Of him, the ex-protégé of Geneviève de Fontenay will remember that he was above all a “real nice, without fuss, without tralala”. An authentic and caring person on a daily basis.
The day of his disappearance, Sylvie Tellier had saluted his memory through a poignant post. “Life takes away a smile, a voice, a talented journalist but above all a friend”, had written the young mother on the Web and to conclude: “Goodbye my Jean-Pierre. Thank you for these twenty years, your trust, your friendship, your simplicity. I will miss you so much…”.
