I went to that school until the age of 13 and got my Elementary School Certificate - Certificat d’Etudes.
-
To please my teacher, I took an entry test for high school, but it was not my goal.
-
At the time my brother had just been born,
-
my mother was not working because she had a heart disease.
-
We needed to call the doctor often and my father was only a worker, so we were not very rich.
-
On one hand, I wanted to contribute to the family by working.
-
On the other hand, I wanted
-
to be free and independent. That was even more important.
-
So at the age of 14, I started working.
-
That was in 1937/1938, during the first crisis, and unemployment was a big issue.
-
As I had learned no trade, I did a little bit of everything.
-
I worked in a toy factory; I also worked unloading the little boats on the Seine.
-
I was not very picky about the work, as it was quite hard to find a job at the time.

-
Yet quite essential it is!
-
Cause the underground is the underground!
