Alain Delon’s last wish – where did he want to be buried?

Behind the tall stone wall that marks the boundary of Alain Delon’s estate, known as La Brolière, which stretches 2.3 kilometres along the road to the village of Duchy-Montcorbon in the Loire department in central France, the actor lived out the last years of his life. Life is an isolated life.

There, 140 kilometers southeast of Paris, Delon said he would like to be buried, near the church built on the grounds of the cemetery he created for most of his 30 beloved dogs.

Dillon bought the property, a former holiday center for children of railroad workers, on just under 300 acres of woodland in 1971.

Dillon had said he wanted to be buried near the church, which was built on the grounds of the cemetery he created for more than 30 of his beloved dogs.

Disagreement with his sons and his sons with each other

Alain Delon’s last role in life found him shattered by a stroke five years ago, as he starred in a realistic drama reminiscent of a Greek or Shakespearean tragedy, in which his three children, Anthony, Anouska and Alain Fabien, publicly quarreled in a devastating barrage of accusations and legal proceedings.

The Delon family’s media saga has become so dirty that the actor’s lawyer, Christophe Ayella, had to call a truce a few months ago. “This has to stop and everyone has to calm down. That’s enough,” Ayella said.

Feed for the media

The first crack in the sibling war came earlier this year, six months ago, when Anthony, 59, whose mother Nathalie was the only wife of Alain Delon, accused his half-sister Anouska, 33, the daughter of the Dutch model and her husband, journalist Rosalie van Breemen, of “lying” and “manipulation” for allegedly withholding the results of cognitive tests carried out on their father by Swiss doctors.

Anoushka appeared on TV to respond. Lawyer Ayla said Dillon was angry about the “media storm” his eldest son had created.

But a third sibling, Anouska’s brother, Alain Fabien, 29, who now lives in La Brolère, came to Anthony’s defense and secretly recorded his sister’s “whispered hints” in their father’s ear. More TV appearances, accusations and lawsuits followed.
