This Wednesday, September 23, the tributes are in his image: simple, tender and sympathetic.
In Montainville, village of Yvelines, where Bourvil had his country house bought in the 1950s and where he is buried in the communal cemetery, a parade of admirers is expected in front of his grave.
Absolutely discreet, the gray slab just indicates
“André Raimbourg dit Bourvil”
.
Beside him lies his wife Jeanne who, on her way to the cemetery in 1985, was killed in a car.
“Many popular artists who died in the last half-century, including Romy Schneider buried just eight kilometers from Bourvil, in Boissy-sans-Avoir, have chosen to be buried outside Paris under monuments that nothing distinguishes their neighbors. .
However, Bourvil's tomb is still covered with fresh flowers mixed with messages of admiration.
No one has forgotten it, ”
underlines Bertrand Beyern, the most learned of cemetery guides.
