Could you describe which problem?

Could it be because of the accent in Cédric?  UTF-8 vs ISO Latin 1?

Personally, I use this, and it works (TM):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** January

%%(diary-anniversary 1979 01 15) Birthday of Sofia (%d years)
%%(diary-anniversary 1976 01 27) Birthday of Thomas (%d years)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

As `org-anniversary' is defined in `org-agenda':

  ╭────
  │ org-anniversary is a Lisp function in `org-agenda.el'.
  │
  │ (org-anniversary YEAR MONTH DAY &optional MARK)
  │
  │ Like `diary-anniversary', but with fixed (ISO) order of arguments.
  ╰────

adding a:

    (require 'org-agenda)

somewhere at the top of your .emacs could resolve that problem?
