This Friday, the columnist celebrated his 55th birthday. And for the occasion, the team of the show gave him a small gift.For his first season at the helm of the Libre antenne week-end d'Europe 1 - renamed Antenne Libre for a few weeks, Yann Moix celebrated his 55th birthday, this Friday, March 31, in the premises of the station. "You know what (Sacha) Guitry said: one more year, one year less," he first replied to Raphaël Delvolvé who wished him a happy birthday before leaving him the reins of the studio. It was then that the team of the Free antenna weekend of Europe 1 (Friday to Sunday from 23 p.m. to 1 a.m.) reserved a surprise for the columnist.

An archive of Michel Polnareff as a gift
At the microphone of Europe 1, Mathilde first listed historical facts that occurred on March 31, such as the inauguration of the Eiffel Tower in 1889 or the birth of René Descartes in 1596, before evoking that of Yann Moix. She then released an excerpt from Musicorama with Michel Polnareff, broadcast on October 8, 1967, as a gift to the writer fan of the French singer.
It was after the broadcast of this archive that the team wished, in chorus, a happy birthday to Yann Moix. "Listen, I'm very touched," reacted the host of the Free antenna weekend. "I don't want to be hypocritical, but I'm very touched. Thank you for this beautiful archive, for the cake (...). Thank you for being here everyone," he said to the music of Happy Birthday. After paying tribute to Michel Polnareff, Yann Moix greeted the members of the team one by one. "I love working with you, but I'm so modest that I prefer to take over the reins of the thing," he said, somewhat unsettled by this surprise.
