Alain Delon's Private Farewell

Published: 2024-08-21

Legendary French actor Alain Delon, who passed away on August 18 at the age of 88, will be laid to rest in a private ceremony at his estate in Douchy, Loiret, on August 24. The intimate funeral will be attended by his three children and about forty guests, honoring Delon's wish for a private farewell without national or political tributes.

Delon, known for his magnetic presence and iconic roles in films like "Plein Soleil" and "Le Samouraï," had a profound impact on French cinema.

His life was marked by both artistic triumphs and personal struggles, including his controversial wish to have his dog, Loubo, euthanized upon his death.

However, recent reports confirm that Loubo will remain with Delon's family, dispelling earlier concerns about the dog's fate.

Delon's legacy continues to captivate audiences, reflecting a life of both brilliance and complexity.
