"She worked everywhere and helped the elderly a lot. I think she was very appreciated," says a resident of Plan-de-la-Tour.

For her, this feminicide is "overwhelming" and "tragic".

"Especially since she leaves an 11-year-old girl behind, it's horrible," she continues.

"Even without knowing her, it touches a lot"

A minute of silence was observed followed by some moving speeches.

"I came for her and her little girl, her family and her friends. Even without knowing her, it touches a lot", testifies a second resident.

Aged 32, Doriane was very popular in this town in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. She was inseparable from a group of friends who are now very affected. They are in tears and trying to support each other with family members. Everyone surrounds her daughter, barely 11, who will never see her mother again
