Pierre Bergé Awarded

Like Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Bergé has been awarded for his achievements on numerous occasions. In 2001, he was named Grand Mécène des Arts de la Culture. President François Hollande made him Grand Officier de la Légion d’Honneur in 2015.  

Concerning the Légion d’honneur, Jack Lang named me Chevalier, François Mitterrand Officier, Laurent Fabius Commandeur, and today François Hollande Grand Officier. The friendship and admiration I have for them make me receive these decorations with joy, gratitude, and no hesitation at all.”
