Living with his age
few decades ago still live 100 years and beyond was a true exception. Now, combined with advances in living standards and medicine is no longer so rare. It is common to encounter a (e) or even several hundred years old in a retirement home. According to demographers, they should be about 60,000 to have crossed this age symbolism in France in 2050, four times more than today (source INED).
What's our attitude about these great old? What do they look, in turn, on their very long life and a society that has changed so much since their younger years? How and why do they continue to live when the forces are gradually leaving, they have to face the addiction, that all their friends, relatives and sometimes even their own children are dead?
only 5% of centenarians can continue to live alone at home. The other, less physically live in nursing homes or with a parent who takes care of them.
Yet, apparently freed from the fear of death, they seem to wait with serenity, they often show an amazing life force. Veronique Julia went to meet several of these centenarians who contemplate life at the top of their century past.
