Overview
- Local outlet ICI Provence, cited by national media, reports Bardot will rest in the cimetière marin of Saint‑Tropez, where a family vault already exists.
- Wendy Bouchard had said Bardot wanted a simple home burial near her animals, but officials say no request was filed for an in‑property interment, which requires prefectural approval.
- Franceinfo reports no funeral date is set, with several sources indicating it could be held next week pending Monday’s planning meeting.
- Residents and visitors in Saint‑Tropez have gathered at La Madrague with flowers, candles and messages as police manage access near the property.
- Tributes from global media hail a defining film icon and animal‑welfare advocate, while political reactions in France range from calls for a national homage by Éric Ciotti to criticism from left‑wing figures citing her hate‑speech convictions.
