A very moving moment. Aurélie Casse and her columnists received, Saturday January 11 in “C l’hedbo”, the president of Leclerc, Michel-Edouard Leclerc, the lawyer Benoît David, the ex-robber François Troukens, the RTL journalist Plana Radenovic, the presenter Gilles Bouleau, or even Eve Gilles and Angélique Angarni-Filopon, aka Miss France 2024 and Miss France 2025.
A poignant tribute
Also guest on the famous talk show, Nikos Aliagas was treated to a moving video. “Your father who was a tailor, who even made the costumes for the film “Borsalino”, Alain Delon’s costume is him. He also gave you a nice surprise on Greek TV. They like surprises, I get the impression in the family. He came to see you during a special show dedicated to you to say how proud he was of you”, explained Aurélie Casse.
After the broadcast of this archive dating from around twenty years ago, the strong man of TF1 confided with emotion about his dad: “You know sometimes I say to myself: “If this boy had not left his country with a small suitcase and arrived at the Gare de Lyon with nothing, nothing”… He is a child of war, of civil war , of dictatorship. And he comes here, he’s a kid and he has nothing. He sleeps on a bench the first evening at Lyon station”.
On the France 5 set, the one who will be in charge of “Merci Dorothée!” Saturday January 24, 2025 from 9:10 p.m. on the front page continued: “You can’t imagine the number of times when I pass by the Gare de Lyon, when I look at this bench: “I say phew, it’s thanks to you, Mr. Bench, that I’m here”. Because he wanted a better life. He taught us to love France viscerally but also not to forget our roots. You can do both, one doesn’t preclude the other. And I owe him a lot so yeah, I miss him. But hey it’s in the order of things”.

And Nikos Aliagas concluded on the public service channel: “When you lose a parent, it’s difficult but you have your children, you look them in the eyes. We try, first we forgave our parents for everything we thought was serious when it was just “He did what he could, like our parents did”. And we try to be better. It’s not a win every day, it’s missing. But at the same time he is in me, he is in me like a little voice, like a conscience, like a protective look. And when there are times when we’re a little knocked out, we say to ourselves: “What should I do? Do I go to the right or to the left?” Well, you have his look like that which says ‘It doesn’t matter, but do it well’”.
