A ceremony is scheduled on Jan. 7 at the Notre-Dame-de-l\u2019Assomption Catholic Church and will be broadcast on two large screens set up at the port and on the Place des Lices central square, Saint-Tropez town hall said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n
The burial will then take place \u201cin the strictest privacy\u201d at a cemetery overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, according to the statement. The ceremony will be followed by a public homage for fans at a nearby site.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrigitte Bardot will forever be associated with Saint-Tropez, of which she was the most dazzling ambassador,\u201d the statement said. \u201cThrough her presence, personality and aura, she marked the history of our town.\u201d<\/p>\n
The movie star settled in her Riviera villa, La Madrague, in Saint-Tropez and retired from the film industry in 1973 at age 39.<\/p>\n
The so-called marine cemetery, where Bardot\u2019s parents are buried, is also the final resting place of other celebrities, including filmmaker Roger Vadim, Bardot\u2019s first husband.<\/p>\n
Bardot\u2019s younger sister, Marie-Jeanne Bardot, known as Mijanou, posted on Facebook a photo of Brigitte at age 12, accompanied by a message honoring \u201cthe one I adored more than anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
She wrote that Bardot now \u201cknows whether our beloved pets are waiting for us on the other side.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet her not be afraid, and let her instead be in the love and joy of reuniting with them all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
