Michèle Cambon, wife of Claude Brasseur, dressed in a black veil, and Alexandre, their son, were standing near the coffin as it arrived.
The priest made a final blessing on it before four men took him to the Artists' Parish, the other name of the church.
Several dozen brave people stayed outside in the cold for over an hour to pay their last respects.
"He was part of the family"
A hundred strangers also hurried, already nostalgic for the actor.
Before they could go home, they were silent, without signs, as if they had been taken in.
"I love the actor, he is one of the very great with the whole crew of the film
We will go to paradise
. It was the last and then I like him", confides a woman of about fifty. year that made the trip.
Before adding: "I am sad because he was a little part of the family. It's really a year that ends badly".
"It's quite impressive when you see his filmography: it starts with Renoir and it ends with today's directors. It's still grandiose, he's a man who has succeeded in constantly renewing himself," says another fan, posted in front of the Parish of the artists.
When asked about his favorite film, he doesn't hesitate, "it's
La Boom"
, even if "it's a bit pitiful but hey I say it anyway", he jokes.
