The great reporter and friend of Jean-Paul Belmondo and Brigitte Bardot is no longer. Christian Brincourt, Figure of Paris Match and TF1, died on Monday at age 90. Paris Match announced it on its website.
“Journalist since 1960 and his entrance to Radio Luxembourg, it was where the world was on and Spummel,” wrote Jérôme Béglé, director of the Editorial Personnel of the Party, in his Billology.
“For the radio then for TF1, he covered the wars of Algeria, Vietnam, 6 days, of the Gulf,” continues Mr. Béglé, remembering that Christian Brincourt “was one of the only journalists to cross the South Pacific aboard Pen Duick, the legendary Eric Tabarly boat” for 47 days.
Family of journalists
In 2021, at the death of his friend Belmondo, Christian Brincourt had told him in Paris how he “left aside the star to rub his shoulders with a man daily.”
“In 2006, in the Granville Medical Rehabilitation Center, a broken femur pass for him and a knee prosthesis for me gave us the same attention. One hundred meals shared in front of the sea, the hours side by side in the wheelchair formed a link …” he recalled.
Christian Brincourt, who was also a writer and speaker, belonged to a family of journalists. His uncle, André, who died in 2016, was the former editor, on the scene of the literary and specialist of André Malraux, who was the friend. Christian Brincourt’s son, Marc, is a former photo editor of Paris Match.
