After a stroll throughout the village behind the family members, the participants released pink and white balloons, then placed white roses at the foot of a portrait of the young woman.

In the march procession, Louane's family in the front row wore t-shirts on which the young woman's face was printed. Behind, friends, relatives and sometimes strangers, who came to support the family.

Moved, one of Louane's brothers, Dimitri, wanted to thank everyone present. “It warms my heart to see so many people come to support us,” he insists, holding back tears, “we are lost, but some have traveled a long way to be there.“

The investigation still ongoing
