Young Daphné (1987-97)
Daphné was born in August 1987 in Malestroit, Brittany, during Marie-Hélène's summer vacation. And below right is where it all began, in La Clinique des Augustines, Malestroit, in August 1987. Thank you sisters! Needless to say, grand-père took this one. Here is Marie-Hélène with Charles in the same clinic about the same time after he was born there eight years later.
Marie-Hélène was spending her summer vacation with her parents in their Breton cottage, called La Grée; near where the family of her father, Jacques, originated. Grand-père was himself born and raised in Paris but retired to La Grée in Brittany. Along with Alban, who arrived in September 1989, Daphné lived with Marie-Hélène and Pierre, her dad, in a bright and sunny apartment in Paris until 1994, when her maman moved in with Ian in an old house called Le Tahu in a forest to the west of Paris. That began the process referred to by professionals in the domain as blending the two families.
Okay, if you've gotten this far, then you can see the regulation swim suit photo!! Only kidding. Pictures of Daphné as she grows older can be found here. She has now graduated High School! Another picture of her in a pool is here.
