Julien Courbet is celebrating his 61st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed journalists of his generation.

Popular journalist-television host Julien Courbet (Sans aucun doute, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 61st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
