“I didn’t feel like everyone else”

Despite this particularity, Alice and Marie’s mother believes she has grown “in a fairly bourgeois environment”. An environment in which she did not always feel at home. “There was no money problem, but I didn’t feel like everyone else,” she said. According to her, her difference came above all from her parents and her religious affiliation. “I was at Carnot high school, no one had parents who had gurus in India. I was neither Jewish nor Catholic. It was complicated.” And to continue: “The Jews held lots of meetings between themselves and me, my family was of Jewish origin, but they did not practice. There were also chaplaincy weekends where I did not go”. During all her years, Anne Roumanoff suffered a certain “rejection” from his peers.

“The fact that I didn’t feel like I belonged to a specific social class, even if I was in the bourgeoisie, so I observed all the social classes to find out how things worked. I was curious.” Exit high school, it was at Sciences Po that Philippe Vaillant’s ex continued his studies. Unfortunately, this feeling of rejection only increased on the benches of the prestigious school. “When I went to Sciences Po afterwards, at the time it was very socially confined, it was the bourgeoisie of the 7th arrondissement, I didn’t have a Burberry raincoat, I didn’t have a silk scarf . I took all these codes at that time”. Touching confidences.
