RIP Ariane Gransac

 Ariane Gransac passed away in Perpignan on Sunday 5 April 2026, at the age of 84: her funeral is to take place at Perpignan crematorium on 15 April. 

Rather than succumb to sadness at her leaving, I would prefer to remember her joie de vivre back when I first met her some sixty years ago around 1966, following her brave participation in the unforgettable abduction in Rome of Franco’s ambassador to the Vatican.

Ariane Gransac is dead: a life that was intense, rebellious and anarchist

En passant Cuba declared six days mourning for the Catholic fascist, Franco when he died.
