This photo, by Annick Falchier, was taken in the summer of 1959. “We were a family of 10 children and the “4 a.m.” was unavoidable. It was always bread with margarine and, in season, our mother sliced strawberries from the garden on our toast. It could also be grated chocolate or “Poulain” cocoa. Here I am with my sisters, two cousins and a cousin. » | ANNICK FALCHIERView full screen
