Saturday September 11 was synonymous, for many, with meditation twenty years after the attack on the Twin Towers.
Others preferred to demonstrate against what they refer to as
“the health dictatorship”
.
Francis Lalanne was one of them.
As reported by our colleagues from
La Montagne
, the singer, who came to parade in Puy-en-Velay, took advantage of his stay to visit the main monuments of the city the next day.
And - surprise!
-, the artist was provided with a sanitary pass in order.

Francis Lalanne notably went to the church of Saint-Paulien, a town where he was hosted by his friend, Sébastien Béraud, a farmer very involved in the yellow vests movement.
Whether at the Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe rock, the Saint-Joseph statue in Espaly-Saint-Marcel, the Puy cathedral, or even in front of the Notre-Dame du Puy statue, the singer presented each time the famous sesame,
"on your smartphone"
, in a very natural gesture.
All the more surprising that, a few days earlier, an SNCF controller lodged a complaint against him, after he frantically refused to wear a mask in an SNCF train.

Asked by
La Montagne
, the artist's guide, Sébastien Béraud, also very versed in the weekly gatherings in Le Puy against sanitary measures, affirms that
"Francis is not against the sanitary pass"
, but that
"he is against the obligation to be vaccinated ”
. He concedes that he himself had to carry out
"a PCR test in a pharmacy on Saturday evening to carry out this tourist visit with
[his]
friend"
. As for the controversy surrounding the mask that Lalanne refused to wear during his journey from Marseille to Paris, the faithful companion swears to his great gods that
"it is because he is asthmatic"
.
