They stayed together for four years. From 1963, when the star photographer of yéyés fell madly in love with this young artist with sylphic curves, until 1967 and her encounter with a new idol of French song. Jean-Marie loves Françoise who loves Jacques. And the trio will remain united. In February 2020, Jean-Marie Périer confided to the newspaper THETime, on the occasion of the release of his memoir titled 1960-1970, that there was between them “neither jealousy nor bitterness.” Over time, the photographer even ends up “fall madly in love” by Jacques Dutronc and “don’t let go”. The reason ? “It was (Françoise Hardy) who introduced me to Dutronc, and I have always attached myself to the guys I left for.” Nostalgic, the biological son of Henri Salvador regularly publishes many photos on his Instagram account of his years when he rubbed shoulders with many personalities of song and cinema. Johnny and Sylvie, Sheila, Brigitte Bardot, Claude François… but it is clear that Françoise Hardy, whom he machine-gunned at all times, remains his most faithful obsession.
