"Let him rest...": Alain Delon, the decision of his son Anthony is a scandal, he will be buried...

The Cheetah had also asked to be buried in his domain with his dogs and steps had been taken during his lifetime. On Sunday, 18 August, the sub-prefect of Loiret spoke to AFP to say a little more about the progress of this ultimate wish of Alain Delon.

Funeral and gendarmerie pumps are present in Douchy

“For a long time, Mr. Delon had made his desire to be buried there (in Douchy, NDLR) and he had taken the administrative steps in this direction. The prefecture of Loiret had agreed in principle. These elements must be confirmed by the family's approach, including the death certificate.

The family’s approach has not yet been done, as the death occurred a short time ago,” said Christophe Hurault, who was contacted by telephone by AFP. “The funeral homes are there, the gendarmes also to secure the premises. I cannot give you an idea of the staff because they are called upon to increase during the day,” he added.

The transformation of the Douchy estate by Alain Delon

Built under the First Empire, later becoming a holiday center of the SNCF in the 1950s, the Château de La Brûlerie then “burned”, according to Mayor Abel Martin. “Alain Delon razed the castle to make his current property,” according to him. Keeping only dependencies, the couple formed by Alain Delon and Mireille Darc at the time created a lake on the site of the castle, in the middle of a gigantic park of several dozen hectares surrounded by high walls.
