00:00 The emotional was at its peak on Friday, August 11, 2023.
00:13 The funeral of Hélène Carrère d'Ancaux was organized in Paris, in the presence of
00:19 all her relatives.
00:20 Her daughter Marina Carrère d'Ancaux appeared in tears in front of the church, supported
00:27 by her brother and sister but also their father, Louis Carrère.
00:32 On Saturday, August 5, the death of Hélène Carrère d'Ancaux was announced.
00:38 The first woman at the head of the French Academy and a great specialist in Russia,
00:45 died at the age of 94.
00:48 She remained peacefully surrounded by her family, brought her three children to a bright
00:56 new life, and was a great support to her family.
01:00 Hélène Carrère, the animator and doctor Marina Carrère d'Ancaux, her sister-lawyer
01:05 Nathalie and her brother the writer Emmanuel, in a statement transmitted to the ARC.
01:11 A few days after her disappearance, her funerals took place on Friday, August 11, at 10.30
01:17 in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Church in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.
01:23 The family of Hélène Carrère d'Ancaux, who died in 1999, of course made the trip
01:29 to bid farewell.
01:30 And especially her husband and father of her children Louis Carrère d'Ancaux, whom she
01:36 had married in 1952 and who stopped showing up diminished in a wheelchair.
01:42 He could count on the support of his daughter Marina who was never far from him.
01:49 On his side, the latter was meeting with her brother and sister.
01:53 The brotherhood, united, was thus immortalized as a result of the photographers present at
02:01 the event, entering arm above, arm below in the church, just after the coffin of their
02:06 deceased mother.
02:07 Their emotions were palpable as the tears of Marina Carrère d'Ancaux.

02:19 Tribute to members of the Academy in traditional attire.
02:22 Members of the French Academy were also invited to the funerals, including writer
02:27 Daniel Salnave, writer Eric Orsenna but also Michael Edward, Pascal Orry, Dani Laferrière,
02:34 Michel Zinc, Daniel Rondeau or Jules Hoffmann.
02:38 All had for the occasion re-dressed the common costume to all members of the Institute of
02:45 France.
02:46 It is a uniform in black or black blue drape, embroidered with olive green and gold branches,
02:53 hence its name of "green dress" which was attributed to it.

03:11 summer and awaited the invalid as the faith knows the Elysée.
