Henri Sannier, who presented 19/20 and Soir 3 but also the 1 and 8 p.m. news, also hosted Tout le sport.
He is the author of a testimony available from the beginning of February 2025, The day I learned to walk again. The journey of a fighter facing an orphan disease.
A testimony about illness full of courage and hope, announces the publisher.
Via Les Éditions du Rocher:
“While he was enjoying the very beginnings of his retirement, after a busy career on television sets, Henri Sannier was struck by illness. Day by day, he felt the paralysis eating away at his limbs, to the point of no longer being able to be able to move.
He will have to go from specialist to specialist, for almost two years, before we can put a name to his illness, chronic polyradiculoneuropathy… A long medical wandering that all people affected by rare diseases know well.
What does a hyperactive person do when he finds himself deprived of everything that made his life fun? He seeks strength in the support of those close to him and in his happy memories, and tries all kinds of methods. Until doctors offered him treatment that improved his situation and, after long stays in hospital and two years in a wheelchair, he gradually learned to walk again.”
