Overview
- A private service at Notre-Dame de l’Assomption was relayed on large public screens before Bardot was buried in her parents’ family grave overlooking the sea.
- Bernard d’Ormale said she underwent two operations before she died, and he did not disclose the type of cancer.
- Bardot set aside her wish to be buried at her La Madrague estate, which her husband said would have created difficulties for the town due to expected visitors.
- Mourners included her son Nicolas‑Jacques Charrier and political figures such as Marine Le Pen, while singer Mireille Mathieu performed and a government minister attended.
- Focus now shifts to her legacy in film and animal welfare and to the role of her foundation, which already holds much of her assets, with formal inheritance details yet to be made public.
