From <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/18/magazine/the-last-temptation-of-christian.html" rel="nofollow">The New York Times</a>: <i>"There were 2,000 people in the church for the funeral at Saint-Honoré d'Eylau. Another 5,000 people waited outside. Jean Cocteau sat next to the Duchess of Windsor. Pierre Cardin fainted. And there were so many flowers that the House of Dior was granted permission by the City of Paris to display them in the Place de l'Etoile. The Arc de Triomphe was afloat in a sea of blossom. The man himself would have been suitably impressed, given that flowers were almost the equal of fashion and food in his pantheon of passions.
