Death of Françoise Hardy: why will the singer’s ashes rest in Corsica and not in Paris?

Françoise Hardy died on June 11. The singer, aged 80, had been battling the disease for years. After a funeral in Paris, his ashes will rest in Corsica.

It is in Monticello, not far from Calvi in ​​Corsica, that the final resting place of Françoise Hardy is located. It is in fact in the cemetery of this Corsican village that the ashes of the singer who died on June 11 will be placed.

Paris Match reveals in fact that a concession there had been purchased by Jacques Dutronc, the ex-husband of Françoise Hardy, with whom she had her son Thomas Dutronc.

House built with Jacques Dutronc

It was also thanks to Françoise Hardy that Jacques Dutronc discovered Monticello, where he has now resided for several decades. The couple bought land there and built a house, where Thomas Dutronc spent part of his childhood.

Jacques Dutronc, even if he has been separated since the end of the 80s from Françoise Hardy, maintained very good relations with her, and she regularly came to visit him to recharge her batteries despite her attachment to the French capital, our colleagues report.

After a funeral at the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, it is therefore a last trip and a last tribute which should be held at the beginning of July in Corsica, for a last farewell to the icon of French song.
