It is this Thursday at 4:30 p.m. Thursday that the funeral of Thierry Ardisson, disappeared on July 14, will take place at the Saint-Roch church, in Paris, before an burial in the strictest intimacy. As we know, because he had never hidden it, the former animator of “Everyone talks about it” has everything planned, from the start to the end.

Thus, the announcement intended for relatives invited to the funeral is in the pure Ardissonian style: “Dear friends, dear enemies, last good evening! Find us to say goodbye to man in black, ”we can read. The cardboard is obviously printed in black and white, with a stylized portrait of Thierry Ardisson. “Roch Never Dies”, can also be read, a fun play with the name of the church where the ceremony will take place.

We can also see that guests are asked to adopt the “Dress code Ardisson (with or without dark glasses)”. The cardboard is signed by the wife of the man in black, Audrey Crespo-Mara, the two children of the latter, Lamine and Sékou, as well as the children of the deceased, Ninon, Gaston and Manon.

“I would like the three women I married be there,” he said at the “point”. In addition to Audrey Crespo-Mara, Christiane Bergogon and Béatrice Loustalan should be present at the funeral.

“I want incense, choir children … the total!” I already have all the playlist in mind, ”said Thierry Ardisson, notably quoting a piece of David Bowie.

The man in black had recently sent a press kit to certain editors, including “Le Parisien”, carefully choosing those empowered to talk about him after his death: Philippe Corti, Laurent Baffie, Catherine Barma, Franz-Olivier Giesbert and Léa Salamé. He had also sent photos to illustrate the articles dedicated to him. And sixteen minutes of extracts from his programs for television channels.

In addition, “Paris Match” unveiled the cover of its this week’s edition, dedicated to Thierry Ardisson. In the purest provocative style of the animator, we can see it in a coffin.

This photo had been taken in 2005, on the occasion of the release of the autobiography of the man in black, “confessions of a baby boomer”: “It’s a bit narrow all the same. But it’s comfortable. How should I be holding up? ”Had humor, in a funeral lounge near the Père-Lachaise cemetery.

For many years after the shoot, Thierry Ardisson insisted with the leaders of “Paris Match” to make their front page with this photo, the day of his death. Promise held, therefore.
