Overview

  • The municipal football ground was officially rechristened "Stade Alain Delon" at a ceremony attended by about fifty local officials and journalists.
  • Organizers unveiled a commemorative plaque inside the stadium and scheduled a 45-minute screening of the documentary "Delon-Douchy" in the town hall’s event space.
  • None of Delon’s three children—Anthony, Anouchka, or Alain-Fabien—were present at the public homage despite earlier statements that they had agreed to the tribute.
  • Anthony Delon shared a private Instagram tribute from the La Brûlerie estate featuring Loubo, the family malinois serving as a living symbol of the actor’s memory.
  • Mayor Abel Martin said the intimate scale of the event was intended to honor Delon’s legacy without turning the hometown commemoration into a large-scale spectacle.
