This Tuesday, June 20, Claude Sarraute died at the age of 95, announced his son Martin Tzara to AFP. The journalist and novelist was known for her columns in The worldbut also for his passages in the emissions Big heads on RTL, We’re going to get embarrassed on Europe 1 or even We tried everything on France 2 in which she won the hearts of Internet users. The announcement of her death was a real shock for Laurent Ruquier, who worked alongside her for a long time and with whom she had finally befriended. Gérard Miller, often seen with the journalist, was also affected by her disappearance and agreed to come back to the story of his friend in C to you.

“She was a very free woman!”Gérard Miller talks about Claude Sarraute’s freedom in his private life

Claude Sarraute paid a last visit to C to you in 2017. She was accompanied at the time by Gérard Miller. Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine then remembered this sequence and this last appearance of the journalist on the show. “She hated the effects of old age on her body… The last time she came was by your side Gerard, she was complaining about her osteoarthritis and you were telling her ‘Stop devaluing yourself like that’. She hated the effect of age”said the presenter. “She was a very beautiful woman, she was a very free woman!”, then replied Gérard Miller. He then returned to the incredible freedom enjoyed by his friend Claude Sarraute who was, according to him, a true avant-garde. “In particular very free sexually, lovingly, we remember because it is not easy for this generation to say it so publicly. She had at one time two men, maybe even three at a time, in any case two men clearly. And she took it on with an extraordinary joie de vivre!”he continued.

“She was a bit of a mystery”Claude Sarraute liked to raise the suspense about his love stories

Émilie Tran Nguyen then asked Gérard Miller if, like Laurent Ruquier, he thought she was one of the first free women. “Oh yes ! In any case, I am talking about that generation, without a doubt!”, he said then. He then revealed a somewhat amusing anecdote about another love affair of his friend. “What was funny I remember for example is that at one point, I don’t know which of her lovers in this long succession, called her regularly when we were together. At a given time, she would get up to go and call him wherever he was in the world and we knew it was this man she was calling”, he revealed. Before concluding, “She was a bit of a mystery, but everyone knew about it and it didn’t really bother us. It’s true that she had extraordinary freedom!”
