Actor and director Yves Rénier died on Saturday at the age of 78.

The TV group paid tribute to him on Monday evening with a special evening on its TF1 Séries Films channel, available on TNT channel 20.

Yves Rénier played Commissioner Moulin for 30 years on TF1, from 1976 to 2006, in the series of the same name.

The actor and his charismatic character had become inseparable in the minds of many viewers.

Two episodes of 

Commissioner Moulin

Because Yves Rénier has embodied during these three decades one of the most popular police officers of television.

One of the last broadcasts of the

Commissioner Moulin

series 

in 2006 attracted nearly 7 million viewers.

TF1 Séries Films will therefore broadcast two episodes of this cult television fiction.

Yves Rénier had continued to play.

We saw it in particular last Thursday in

Léo Matteï, brigade of minors

, on TF1 last Thursday alongside Jean-Luc Reichmann.

He had also made telefilms on major French news items:

The hunt 

on the Michel Fourniret affair, another on the Patrick Dils affair, and one on the Jacqueline Sauvage affair.
