Patrice Laffont (21 August 1939 – 7 August 2024) was a French television presenter and actor.
Life and career
During the 1960s Laffont had a passion for acting, where he became a star on stage and screen with his friends Michel Fugain and Michel Sardou. During the 1970s he joined Europe 1 where most of his programmes were produced by Armand Jammot.
France Télévisions paid tribute to him by airing the special 35th-anniversary episode of Fort Boyard, in which he was a contestant, on August 14, ahead of schedule. In September, France 3 planned a program dedicated to his career, and a special episode of Les Enfants de la télé was also scheduled.[3][4][5]
