Jo Bouillon

From 1936 to 1947, he directed the "Jo Bouillon et son orchestre" ensemble[1] then devoted himself to accompanying Joséphine Baker.

Bouillon married Baker in 1947 and together they bought the Château des Milandes in Dordogne.

There they carried out their project to adopt children of different nationalities, in order to prove that the cohabitation of different "races" could work admirably.

Bouillon retired to Buenos Aires where he opened a French restaurant, Le Bistro.

He died in 1984, at the age of 76, and is buried in the Monaco Cemetery, his coffin resting on top of Baker's in the black granite vault of Africa[clarify] offered by Princess Grace.
