Michel Gerard

Michel Gerard is a fictional character on the television series Gilmore Girls, played by Yanic Truesdale. Michel is a native of France who attended the École Hôtelière de Genève, one of the finest hospitality schools in the world. He worked as the concierge at the Independence Inn with Lorelai and Sookie, and followed them to the Dragonfly when it opened. He is extremely style- and diet-conscious. Michel adopted a pair of Chows, Paw-Paw and Chin-Chin, whom he treats like his children, he is very close to his mother Gisele (Janet Hubert-Whitten), and he is a Celine Dion fan. In an episode of the 7th season Paw-Paw passed away, prompting Michel to have a full-blown funeral for his beloved pet, despite his disdain for an earlier wake for Babette's cat, Cinnamon. He is snobby and curt, but can be witty and kind to his friends. He values his partnership with Lorelai and Sookie, so much that he pitched a fit in season 4, concerned that they would not hire him to work at the Dragonfly.... full article at wikipedia
