Tributes have been pouring in for Pierre in the wake of his death. His former co-star, Luce Mouchel, lead the way, sharing a selfie of the pair, and writing: ‘Pierre, seven years of filming together, taking the train together, having lunch at the canteen together, sometimes confiding, inviting each other from time to time and congratulating you for your hidden cooking talent, meeting our girls, clapping at the theater, calling each other “Doctor” usually, and I forget.<\/p>\n
‘A short decade of shared life that should not have ended so quickly and so brutally. I’m thinking of your daughters and their exceptional courage. <\/p>\n
‘Thinking of you, my last visit and your sparkling eyes, rest in peace, Dr. Dumaze.’<\/p>\n
