Overview
- Husband Bernard d’Ormale told Paris Match that Bardot died of cancer after two operations, without disclosing the cancer type.
- A private mass at Notre-Dame de l’Assomption was followed by a quiet burial in the seaside cemetery where her parents and first husband Roger Vadim rest.
- Local authorities installed giant screens and crowds lined the streets of Saint-Tropez to follow the ceremony from the port and central squares.
- Attendees included Marine Le Pen and minister Aurore Bergé, while President Emmanuel Macron did not attend the funeral.
- The family set aside Bardot’s earlier wish for burial at her home, La Madrague, citing tourism and access concerns, and held a public tribute later at Pré des Pêcheurs.
