the essential No former Miss France will attend the funeral of Geneviève de Fontenay. The former boss of Miss France, who died aged 90 last week, will be buried in the coming days. Only his family will be present.
Many Miss France have expressed their emotion at the death of Geneviève de Fontenay. But none of them will bid him a final farewell at his funeral. This is the wish of the former patroness of the contest for the most beautiful woman in France, who died at the age of 90 on August 1.
“She didn’t want a Johnny Hallyday-style funeral”, explains her former assistant Hubert Guérin in the Belgian magazine Cinema-TV-Review. “I don’t think she was expecting the tributes from Nathalie Marquay or Sylvie Tellier. She said it would be the hypocrites’ ball, that she wouldn’t see anything anyway and that she wouldn’t be there to answer”.
Geneviève de Fontenay’s choice was to leave surrounded only by her family. No religious ceremony is planned. The body of the famous lady in the hat will be transported directly from the funeral home to the cemetery.” A burial in the strictest family privacy, in the presence of her son, her granddaughters and her brothers and sisters. There will be nobody else”, continues his former assistant.
In recent weeks, Geneviève de Fontenay suffered from severe pain, in the legs in particular, due to osteoarthritis. Only her older brother Etienne came to see her every day.
The date of Geneviève de Fontenay’s funeral has not been made public. She will be buried in the cemetery of Ivry-sur-Seine alongside her companion Louis and her eldest son Ludovic, who committed suicide in 1984.
