FRA.Paris.François MITTERRAND's farewell.
Patrick Zachmann
Paris 11th arrondissement. Place de la Bastille. Evening of 10th January 1996
30000 people came together for a last farewell to François Mitterrand at the Bastille, where his victories in the presidential elections of 1981 and 1988 had been celebrated. Thousands of roses, the socialist symbol, were placed near the condolences book. In the pouring rain, Barbara Hendricks sang 'le Temps des Cerises' (a song strongly associated with the Paris commune), on the steps of the Bastille Opera, one of the great public works projects carried out under Mitterrand.
President of the French Republic between 1981 and 1995, François Mitterrand died of cancer in Paris on January 8th 1996. His burial took place on January 11th in Jarnac (Charente), the village where he was born, with access restricted to close friends and members of the family.
