A television figure has left us. This Tuesday, January 28, Catherine Laborde died at the age of 73. Suffering from Lewy body disease, Lewy body for several years, the former TF1 weather presenter passed away surrounded by her loved ones. “My darling, you left peacefully in your house on the island of Yeu that you loved so much. Around you were Gabrièle and Pia, your daughters, and Jimmy, their father. And also your husband Thomas for your last days”, wrote her sister, journalist Françoise Laborde.

“Geneviève and I were with you last week: and we were able to laugh again between sisters while recalling our childhood memories, talk about Mom and Dad and also sing you the songs you loved. You gave us this immense gift of offering us your last moments of consciousness and lucidity, she added, devastated. You left my darling very gently, silently, peacefully. We love you so much.” So it was on the island of Yeu that Catherine Laborde died, where she had a house.

She left Paris for the Vendée

It was in Vendée that the former weather presenter spent her last years. “My husband and I have just bought a house by the sea […] We are half there, half in Paris. There, I have just spent many hours cleaning the borders where small purple flowers form a magnificent design”, she confided in the columns of Le Parisien. Before settling in Vendée, she lived in the capital.

This is where she lived for years, and this is where she had decided to spend the lockdown, worried about the size of her country house. This is also where she received Paris Match at length for a heart-to-heart interview. “My symptoms are those of old age: fatigue, uncoordinated movements, falls. I trip at least once a day”, described the fighter Catherine Laborde.
