And yet, Sylvie Vartan and Johnny Hallyday wanted to keep their marriage secret, as Frédéric Quinorero had told in the biography Sylvie Vartan, les chemins de sa vie, published on February 28, 2024 by Mareuil editions. “It is in an indescribable hubbub that the future married couple make their way to the heart of the village, which has become the rallying point for two hundred photographers and cameramen scattered in strategic places, themselves absorbed by the one thousand five hundred 'buddies' warned by the newspapers of the day before or the radio of the morning“, he had written.
