His name is Gabriel. This is the first baby born at the L'Aigle maternity hospital (Orne) in 2025. This little boy was born at 3:37 a.m. on New Year's Eve. But in respiratory distress, he had to be transferred to Caen University Hospital where he was cared for for 48 hours. Fortunately, Friday January 3, the child was able to find his mother in L'Aigle. Under the influence of this somewhat shaken arrival into the world, the mother preferred to remain calm.
