Frédéric Mitterrand died on March 21 at the age of 76. His sons, his brothers, his relatives, and the political class, paid tribute to the former Minister of Culture.

“He was the first to overwhelm himself”, said the publisher of his books Betty Mialet. ‘This innate kindness that didn’t want to offend anyone’ was needed to pay tribute to him: Her Majesty Farah Pahlavi, widow of the Shah of Iran.
