The young woman's smile is everywhere.
His face was printed on the white T-shirts of all the participants in the rally.
About a hundred of them came to pay homage to Ludivine.
“It's been a year, on May 17, that she left.
And there are so many people around us, ”explains Florence, her mother.
"It's for all the people who have supported us from the start", adds Patrick, her father.
That day in May 2020, their daughter was struck by an Audi Q7 on the A15, probably racing with another car.
The young woman's vehicle hits the guardrail, spins off and catches fire.
Two police officers who were on the scene intervene, but they are unable to extract it from the carcass.
Two men indicted
In the procession, all know the family or are part of it.
"I came to support them, to tell them that we are with them," says Mahimouna, 45, a friend of the parents.
"The little one, we had known her for a long time," says Eric, 58, a colleague of her mother.
We feel a lot of sadness.
She was a very nice, very lively girl.
"" I think about injustice, adds Aline, whose daughter grew up with the young woman.
We don't understand.
Why do these things happen?
"
In the procession, all knew the family or were part of it.

With this gathering, parents wish to warn about the dangers of the road and the consequences of bad behavior.
It's hard not to think of the driver behind the drama.
"I hope he has this on his mind all his life."
He leaves us with a rotten legacy.
We didn't have another child, so he took everything from us, ”says Florence.
The man was indicted for manslaughter.
The other driver, with whom he is suspected of having raced, is also, for endangering the lives of others.
The procession went to Ludivine's school.
Where she had experienced difficulty due to her dyscalculia.
“The learning was hard.
She had to hang on to get there, but she didn't give up, ”recalls Patrick.
"I have rarely seen someone so nice"
Earlier, during a stop in front of the college, Florence recalled that her daughter had kept her self-confidence thanks to kind people.
Oriane, who was his sales and marketing internship manager at the time of the tragedy, was one of them.
“She wanted to do well.
She was a little shy.
For example, contact by phone was not easy.
But she was determined to make it happen, ”recalls the latter.
Ludivine marked her with her empathy, her investment and her initiatives.
Oriane remembers, for example, that the young woman spontaneously bought three times more provisions than necessary for a drink with colleagues.
And worried about the fate of the other trainee, more in difficulty than she.
“Frankly, I have rarely seen someone so nice in my whole life,” says Oriane. After an unpleasant experience in a pet store - Ludivine had a passion for animals - this course was a breath of fresh air. “When she came back after two days, she said:
it is not possible, there is a hidden camera,
she was not so used to receiving congratulations. "
