I used to spend my holidays there in my grandparents' large family house, with my numerous cousins. When I die, I am going to be buried in the village cemetery.

I had no training in research as such, and as a consequence, I am, in a sense, self-taught.

I am still not a fussy eater, although I do enjoy good food.

I've always dreamed of having a large family.

I come from a large family so you can count on the fact that I'm going to have more kids.

My grandmother was fond of painting and playing the piano. She had been given lessons by Emmanuel Chabrier, who used to spend the summer months in nearby Membrolle.
