France loses a free spirit, a Grosse T\u00eate. Thoughts to his family, his loved ones, and all those who listened to him and loved him.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Born on 6 December 1929 in Coulommiers (Seine-et-Marne), Philippe Bouvard was renowned for his curiosity, wit, mischievous sense of humour and infectious laughter. <\/p>\n<p>He started his career as a journalist and published more than 30,000 articles and over 50 books. Throughout his time on RTL, he launched the careers of numerous comedians and actors, such as Muriel Robin, Mimie Mathy, Mich\u00e8le Bernier, Pascal L\u00e9gitimus, the duo Chevallier and Laspal\u00e8s, and countless others. <\/p>\n<p>When announcing his retirement last year, R\u00e9gis Ravanas, Managing Director of RTL Radio in France, said that Bouvard had \u201crevolutionised radio\u201d, while Gauthier Hourcade, Director of Programming, praised him as \u201ca cultured pioneer of humour on the airwaves\u201d with a \u201clively, independent and impertinent spirit\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>Reacting to his death, fellow French journalist and TV host Michel Drucker remembered a man who was \u201cexceptionally talented\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He told RTL that Bouvard was \u201ca man of many talents: an author, a writer, a tireless worker, someone who knew this profession inside out\u201d, a man who will \u201cleave an indelible mark\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RIP Philippe Bouvard 1929
