  • « At 7 p.m., ceremony at the Quai d'Orsay where Albina du Boisrouvray was made an officer of the Legion of Honour by Jean-Marc Ayrault. I like the proper names when they are gathered in bouquet to embrace the panoramic of a life. The Albina, in its dramas and lights, is like the kaleidoscopic compression of a society that includes several. There was the golden youth, the lyrical illusion of the beautiful left, the film production, and then the tragic death of her son, at whose height she said, Albina would have wanted to record the rest of her life. Under the acronym FXB, like François-Xavier Bagnoud, she will have globalized her resolution, fomented with hope in the worst misery, alone a missionary order and a UNICEF of microgrowth. » Marc Lambron, in his book "Year of the Rooster of Fire, Grasset Edition, 2022
