The dean of French men, Maurice Le Coutour, celebrated his 110th birthday on Sunday May 12, alongside his family and friends.
Maurice Le Coutour celebrated his 110th birthday. Family and friends gathered on Sunday, May 12, to celebrate the dean of French men (Marie-Rose Tessier, she is 113 years old). To pay tribute to the star of the day and give their gift, you had to queue. The birthday was celebrated in Gouberville (Manche), the village where he was born on May 12, 1914. He almost never left it.
He experienced two wars and took part in combat in 1940
“If I look right away at the life I had until I was 110, it wasn’t too bad. I hope it continues.”, affirms Maurice Le Coutour. The rock, as some in his family call him, is the pride of everyone. This former grocer from Cherbourg (Manche) experienced two wars and took part in the fighting in 1940. He had an extraordinary existence, but without too much excess. Maurice Le Coutour never smoked.
