Following the recent death of controversial French actress Brigitte Bardot, RTL Infos delved into its archives and uncovered footage from October 1968, showing the actress being greeted by flurries of fans at Findel Airport.

At the time, Air Bahamas operated regular flights between Luxembourg and Nassau, and Bardot was a frequent passenger.

These images are a timeless reminder of her popularity within France and beyond, even here in the Grand Duchy. Brigitte Bardot died at dawn on Sunday 28 December 2025 at the age of 91, long after retiring from the public eye and the film industry.
