François Dupuis (1930-2000)

François Dupuis , born in 1930, died in 2000, is a French journalist and writer.

Born in an large family and easy, it passes its childhood in a small village marked by the tensions between “churchgoers” and “laïcards”. Belonging to a family of notable buildings attached to the religion, it finds in “journalism a school of freedom” enabling him “to lead its existence to its own way”.

Attached to the service company of the Express train where it holds in particular the aeronautical heading, it enters to the conflict with Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber on the question of the Concorde. Not supporting more the attacks of its owner against the Franco-British plane, it leaves the Express train to enter Nouvel Observateur in September 1972. It milked there fields to which it is particularly attached, namely air transports and road but also all the questions having milked with town planning and the habitat. It also sometimes happens to him to publish articles on the sport and health, in particular on the order of the doctors or drug.

Near in particular to Fabien Gruhier and Patrice Lestrohan, it is, with this last, favorable to the launching of the Matin of Paris even if they prefer both to abstain from on the question. Noticed by Pierre-Marie Doutrelant, it is pushed by this last with becoming the writer as an chief-assistant of the service “Our Time” of Nouvel Observateur. Very cordial character, without ambition of career nor tendency to dispute the authority, being characterized by the judicious manner that it has to criticize the articles of its fellow-members, it seems “a little the wise old man a little bougon, as the way of the reason among all these insane of the service”. Within the team, it seems a “scoffer, lucid, generous who had kept intact his capacity of enthusiasm and indignation, but which was wary of conformisms and the finer feelingss
