Jean-Pierre Foucault told an anecdote in which we discover that the ex-Beatles Paul McCartney was overjoyed to have met Juliette Gréco in the boxes of Sacrée Soirée.
“Paul made a dream come true. Juliette was happy,” he recalls.
One evening at Sacrée Soirée I received Paul Mc Cartney .. by escorting him back to his dressing room, we passed Juliette Gréco's. "Is this that of St Germain des Prés? Can I see her? .." They spent 1 hour talking. Paul realized a dream .. Juliette was happy ..

Many political personalities wished to honor the memory of the singer.
For the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron was “elegance and freedom” and joined the “pantheon of French song”.
She was elegance and freedom.
Juliette Gréco joined Brel, Ferré, Brassens, Aznavour and all those she interpreted in the pantheon of French song.
His face and his voice will continue to accompany our lives.
