Jeannine Bouchard
Tregunc, France
76 years old
Jeannine was born in Paris and currently resides in Tregunc, France- just a couple miles away from her 3 sisters. She
revisits her past as
a twenty year old as
many times as she can.
Telling her stories
of her adventures,
encounters, and mistakes.
A conversation with her
is like a conversation
with the past, almost
nostalgic. Her and my
grandmother are a team,
they take care of each
other and their other
sisters while maintaining
outside relationships to
still be able to live
freely.
Below is her response -
“How has it changed? .. to me- absolutely nothing because I have a lot of humor
but when it comes to the reports of how people function, what they are scared of,
what they are happy about, for me its just inevitable, it’s how I see people.
As for Macron’s famous phrase: supporting each other and helping each other- I
don’t believe in it at all. I don’t see much help between people. I have always
seen denouncement.
Pour moi rien n’a changé. Je suis quelqu’un qui a beaucoup d’humour. Sur les
rapports comment les gens fonctionnent, de quoi ils ont peur rien n’a changé.
C’est un simple constat , c’est comme je vois les gens. Quant à la fameuse phrase
de Macron : se soutenir, s’entraider, je n’y crois pas du tout. Je ne vois pas
beaucoup d’entraide. Je vois surtout de la delation depuis toujours.”
