France has lost its oldest member. On Wednesday December 15, Marcel Meys died at the age of 112. He was born on July 12, 1909. At that time, people criticized the telephone in song, as evidenced by this ritornello.
The month of Marcel’s birth, the French Society of Inoffensive Hair Dyes was created. It will then become the L’Oréal group. Marcel spent his twenties with Gaston Doumergue in power and at his 18th birthday France won the Davis Cup for the first time. At its 30 years, it is the official creation of the Stade de Reims, the football club.
Obviously, we wonder about the secret of its longevity. First of all, he spent half of his life in retirement since he took it at 58. Another secret: he did not play sports! You can listen to the rest with Olivia Leray.
