Neat. I don't think he's at death's door but I wanted to see him on the list eventually.

I think Chirac would've been a better pick but I think it's about time they chose d'Estaing

Now that they chose Giscard, I'm sure that Chirac and Delors will go before him. :P

Not a bad choice, but not a dead cert either.

Where is Giscard's photo? The photo on the article is of Jean d'Ormesson.

Ha, you're right, I'm sorry.... I thought he looked appropriately wrinkled enough to be D'estaing.

According to this article in L'Eperon (a website about horses), Jacinte Giscard d'Estaing died at the age of 58. The former French president's daughter was a veterinarian & horse enthusiast.

A parent burying their child is a fate I wish on no one. Regards to their family

At his age he could well do a Debbie Reynolds.

These two belong on next year's death list. I wish them a long life, as long as they enjoy it, but how long are they able to hold on?

 

 

He is in better health than my grandfather was at 77, so no: I think he should be dropped.

Based on this evidence, I reckon about 18 months to two years before Giscard gives his final Au Revoir.

And Lonsdale is likely to go before him given what he looks like in the video.

I bet you were all wondering if Giscard d'Estaing would say anything about the death of his very long term rival Chirac. And...he has.

 

Apparently in old age, Chirac used to tease VG'dE that he had won 2 terms to Valery's 1. Oh those statesman hijinks...

 

 

Bad Google translate:

Quote

"I learned with great emotion the news of the disappearance of the former President of the Republic Jacques Chirac. I send a message of profound condolences to his wife and loved ones. "
