Funeral of Antoine Alléno: Brigitte Macron and the cream of French chefs say goodbye to her

The world of cooking paid a last tribute to Antoine Alléno. This Friday, May 13, the funeral of the young cook of 24 years took place in the collegiate Notre-Dame de Poissy, in the Yvelines. A few days after the tragic disappearance of his son, Yannick Alléno was able to count on the support of his loved ones, his family but also that of the world of gastronomy and politics. As she had hinted, Brigitte Macron was indeed present to honor the memory of Antoine Alléno. All in dark clothes, the First Lady wanted to support Yannick Alléno in this terrible ordeal. At his side, several leaders had obviously made the trip, most of whom dressed in their characteristic white tunics.

• Jean-François Piège was with his wife, Elodie
• Christophe Michalak was present with his wife, Delphine
• Alain Ducasse
• Marc Veyrat
• Guy Savoy and his partner Sonia Mabrouk
• Babette of Rozieres
• Frederic Anton

Shortly before the funeral of Antoine Alléno, Frédéric Anton also had reserved a particularly moving tribute to him on the Eiffel Tower. The chef of Jules Vernes, where the cook had worked a few years ago, had asked his team to hold signs that formed his first name. “A thought for you my dear Antoine, all your friends from Pré Catelan and Jules Verne will accompany you on this trip”, wrote Frédéric Anton on Instagram. Shocked by the death of his son, Yannick Alléno also took up the pen to honor the memory of the one who worked with him. “I’m proud of you! It’s crazy to look at your life and see your action! Everyone who has met that smile and that look remembers! This afternoon the whole world will come to greet you, I know you’ll be a little embarrassed but it’s the price of glory, of YOUR GLORY”wrote Yannick Alléno, sharing a photo of his son.
