Friday, September 24, 2004 - HONFLEUR, France — Francoise Sagan, author of the best-selling novel "Bonjour Tristesse' about seduction and infidelity among the idle rich, died Friday. She was 69.

The cause of death was heart and lung failure, said Yves Buzeins, director of Honfleur hospital, near her home in Normandy, where Sagan had been hospitalized for several days.

"With her death, France loses one of its most brilliant and most sensitive writers an eminent figure of our literary life," President Jacques Chirac said in a statement. Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin's office called Sagan "a smile one that was melancholy, enigmatic, distant, and yet joyous."
