Hi Sandrine,

You can make picklist field mandatory from the Record Page Layout. 
Go to your picklist field, a wrench is displayed when you highlight the field on the page layout and select the Required checkbox and save.

Please, let me know if this helps.

Hi Sandrine,

You can mark it red by using the <apex:InputField> tag, include the required="true" attribute

<apex:inputField ..... required="true">

when you put it on the VF page

Thanks
