Overview

• Cardinale, who died last week at 87, was honored Tuesday at the Church of Saint‑Roch in central Paris by several hundred mourners.
• Attendees included Yvan Attal, Nicolas Bedos, Georges Beller, Culture Minister Rachida Dati, Jack Lang, Nikos Aliagas, and Île‑de‑France president Valérie Pécresse.
• The coffin entered to Ennio Morricone’s score from Once Upon a Time in the West, and a 1959 Rome photograph later used for a Cannes poster stood at the altar.
• Her daughter Claudia thanked Tunisia for organizing a mass in La Goulette and paid tribute with the remark that her mother caught her departure like a train already in motion.
• The family asked well‑wishers to donate in lieu of flowers, with a commemorative mass set for Wednesday in Nemours and a private cremation scheduled for Thursday.
