Michou is probably unknown out of France and it's a pity because he was not only an LGBTQ icon but also a genuinely good person.
Openly gay, he had a cabaret in Montmartre since 1956 featuring drag queens and welcoming trans women like Bambi and Coccinelle.
He also took care of the elderly people of his neighborhood, serving them free meals every week for decades.
Unfortunately the cabaret closed in 2024.
Now his archives are in the French national library.
