Bardot Funeral Set for Jan. 7 in Saint-Tropez as Family Declines State Homage

Her foundation is in charge, reflecting plans she made to channel her legacy into animal protection.

Overview

  • The church service will be by invitation at 11:00 at Notre-Dame de l’Assomption and will be shown on large screens on the port and Place des Lices.
  • A private burial will follow, then a public homage for residents and admirers at the Pré des Pêcheurs, the foundation announced.
  • Multiple outlets, citing the town hall, report she will be interred at the cimetière marin of Saint-Tropez rather than at La Madrague.
  • The Élysée said it proposed a national homage that the family did not pursue, and President Emmanuel Macron will not attend the funeral.
  • Bardot had arranged for most of her assets to support the Fondation Brigitte Bardot, which is coordinating the ceremonies and continuing her animal-welfare work.
