His funeral was celebrated on Tuesday morning in Nîmes.
His funeral was celebrated this Tuesday morning at the crematorium of Nîmes, in the presence of the family, relatives and local elected officials, the mayor Jean-Paul Fournier or his deputy Daniel-Jean Valade. Jacques Vicens passed away on Friday; he would have been 74 on July 31.
He was the father of three children, including star rejoneadora Léa Vicens. Jacques Vicens, sometimes known as the African in a friendly way, a great lover of space and a passionate traveler, spent several years taking tourists around in the Saharan desert, before returning to his town of Nîmes to take toddlers on ponies in the Fountain Gardens. Hundreds of children remember this affable and humorous man and his animals.
This horseman, himself a skilled rider (and practicing many sports in his youth), is at the origin of the birth of the vocation of his daughter Léa. Aficionado with a sharp look, he also took her to the bullring, from the age of 4, where the future figure of bullfighting attended her first bullfights sitting on her knees.
A few years ago, after their retirement, he and his wife Dominique had moved to Andalusia, near Puebla del Rio, to live near the finca of their daughter torera.
To Dominique, to Léa, Antoine and Emmanuelle her three children, to Louise, César, Charlotte, Nine and Jeanne, her grandchildren, to all her family and her many relatives and friends, Midi Libre hereby presents its sincere condolences.
