The ceremony will be held on Saturday at 5 pm. It is expected that the children of Delon Anthony, Anouchka and Alain-Fabien, around forty guests, as well as Colette, the nurse who cared for the actor a few months ago, will pay their last respects to Delon. After all, that’s what the artist wanted.
One person, however, may not be invited: Hiromi Rollin, one of Delon’s partners, who has clashed with the actor’s children in the past. In an interview for French television BFMTV she said that she had asked the mediators to intervene with Anouchka so that she could participate in the ceremony, but to no avail.
At the actor’s request, the Bishop of Gap, Jean-Michel Di Falco, one of the most famous people in the French Church in the media, will preside over the ceremony. This choice also reflects Delon’s desire. In 2017, Di Falco celebrated, among other things, the funeral of the actress Mireille Darcová, who was Delon’s partner for fifteen years and lived with him in Douchy.

Mez with your dogs
Alain Delon planned everything so that he could be buried in the ground with his dogs, he once said, among others, to the Swiss TV RTS: “I have 45 dogs that I had buried on the building. In the middle between them I had a beautiful chapel built where I would be buried. After that, my loved ones can rest there who want: my daughter, her mother … everything is ready.”
He built the chapel when he was sixty. “I have no fear of death,” he said at the time. This can be seen, among other things, because he carefully planned his career.
Such a funeral in France is certainly not common and requires special permits. The agreement for it was only signed on Tuesday afternoon by a senior executive of Loiret, AFP said.
Alain Delon: Life and career
- He was born on November 8, 1935. He experienced a stormy childhood and adolescence, among other things, he was expelled from school six times. He trained as a butcher before becoming a movie star.
- He began his acting career in 1957 with a role in the film Quand la femme s’en mêle (When a woman gets engaged) by Yves Allégret. After that, he starred in nearly 90 films, mostly collaborating with Jacques Deray, with whom he made nine films, including Bazén (1969) and Borsalino (1970).
- He also became famous in France as Julius Caesar in the film Asterix at the Olympic Games (2008). And his all-time box office record came in the former Soviet Union, where his 1975 Zorro drew 55 million viewers to cinemas, earning him 44th place on the Russian list of actors most famous ever.
- His charm charmed the most beautiful women in the world. From Romy Schneider, Brigitte Bardot to Dalida, Mireille Darc and Nathalie Delon. However, neither Catherine Deneuve nor Claudia Cardinal could face him.
- A lifelong friendship linked him directly to Bardot. Even though he found it “disgusting” on the first set of the film Rebelote (1961). However, the first impression soon changed, as the actor writes in the introduction to his biography Alain Delon: Amours et memoires (2023): “For 65 years the relations were friendly best i ever had.
- Even the last meeting with Romy Schneider in 1958 during the filming of Christine did not lead to love at first sight. At the time, she thought he was “too handsome, too well dressed, too perfect.” However, they were soon partners, for five years.
However, there is one wish that the actor’s children will not fulfill, at least not yet. He will not be buried next to his dog Loub, as he wanted.
“If I die before he does, I’ll ask the vet to go along. She gives him a lethal injection so he dies in my arms. “I would rather let a dog out than leave it to suffer on my grave,” the actor told the weekly game in Paris.
War of the Senate
Delon’s death marks the end of an era in French cinema. It also opened the door to many questions about his legacy.
The legendary actor amassed a huge fortune in his career, Le Parisien reported. Some speak of hundreds of millions of euros, while others, closer to the actor, reduce these amounts to “just” fifty million euros (1.25 billion crowns).
His children – Anthony, Anouchka and Alain-Fabien – share the inheritance. However, even that is not certain. Ari Boulogne’s illegitimate son also joined the game. Delon never confirmed his paternity. It wasn’t even settled in court.
