Announced by his father Yannick Alléno on Instagram early this Friday morning, the funeral of his youngest son Antoine, killed on Sunday by a driver in Paris, took place in the collegiate church of Notre-Dame de Poissy (Yvelines) this afternoon.
All around, CRS barriers cordoning off the surroundings of the church, and a number of people who came to show their support for the family of the starred chef.
A huge photo of the 24-year-old, in black and white, sits at the entrance to the church.
A few political figures are present, such as Minister Bruno Le Maire and the president's wife, Brigitte Macron.
All enter the church simultaneously ten minutes before the ceremony.
Many white jackets came to show their support: Guy Savoy, Guillaume Gomez, Jean-François Piège, Frédéric Anton or even Mohamed Cheikh.

The coffin arrived a few minutes before the start of mass, accompanied by the family aboard a dozen minibuses.
Yannick Alleno serves his loved ones in his arms, who came to surround him this Friday.
The ceremony will last about an hour to pay tribute to the young man of 24 years, who will be buried in the strictest privacy.
Privacy that the family seems to want above all since all the mini buses are parked in such a way as to obstruct the view to the public.
On the investigation side, Francky D., also 24, was indicted on Wednesday and placed in pre-trial detention at the Fleury-Mérogis remand center (Essonne).
