“There are symbols that matter in life and that help us to live,” underlines Jean-Luc Romero-Michel on X (formerly Twitter). For the Paris City Hall deputy in charge of human rights, integration and the fight against discrimination, this symbol is the alliance of her husband who died almost six years ago. After the loss of this object so precious to him in an Air France plane, he launched an appeal on social networks on Friday April 26.
The ring he had worn on his finger since 2018, next to hers, “fell and got stuck” under the seat on a plane. “Despite the incredible efforts and the kindness of the hostesses, it could not be recovered,” he explains before calling on the airline and Anne Rigail, the general director of Air France on X.
“Those who have lost the love of their life will understand”
“Can you have a technician extract it and return it to me?” “, he implores as the anniversary of his husband’s death approaches, which makes this “loss much more painful”.
Message heard. Within hours, the ring was found. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Air France for doing everything possible to find her for me. Thank you to the hostesses who, in the face of my dismay, were exceptional, including Valérie who was carrying out her last mission,” writes Jean-Luc Romero-Michel. And to conclude: “Those who have lost the love of their life will understand why finding her again was essential for me. »
