In this foreword, we pay a personal tribute to Renaud Parentani, who suddenly passed away in 2020. We express our desire to gather in his memory a series of scientific articles in the field of analogous gravity, which was so dear to his heart. We also bring together a collection of personal memories of Renaud from his closest friends and collaborators: Serge Massar, Florent Michel, Stefano Finazzi, Jeff Steinhauer, and Uwe Fischer.

Dans cet avant-propos, nous rendons un hommage personnel à Renaud Parentani disparu brutalement en 2020. Nous exprimons notre désir de réunir en sa mémoire des articles scientifiques dans le domaine de la gravité analogue si cher à son cœur. Nous présentons également un recueil de souvenirs personnels de Renaud par ses amis et collaborateurs les plus proches : Serge Massar, Florent Michel, Stefano Finazzi, Jeff Steinhauer et Uwe Fischer.
