Marion Cotillard: Honored in Paris with Tim Burton!

Marion Cotillard is all smiles as she is named an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters on Monday (March 15) in Paris, France.

The 34-year-old actress was given the award by French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterand. Famed director Tim Burton was also named an Officer in the cultural honor roll!

“I often feel more in my place here in France than in my own country,” Tim shared (via Yahoo!).

“I never thought I’d have the chance to thank the French republic!” Marion added.

10+ pictures inside of Marion Cotillard and Tim Burton being honored in France…

@elisa: :) @LeviKlein: Indeed. Je me demande pourquoi on ne s’exprime pas plus en Français (ou autres) sur ce site. Dommage…. Bref, Marion est magnifique et talentueuse; et je pense qu’elle représente trés bien la France outre-Atlantique. Quant à Tim Burton, son génie n’a pas de limite =) Je suis fière de dire haut et fort à quel point je suis fan. Les vrais artistes méritent sincèrement d’être applaudis et reconnus.
