Discovery and validation of a 112 y.o. woman living in France and the new doyenne of Belgium!

Yvonne Francier, who has never been mediatized, was completely unknown until a few weeks ago. She was living the slow and peaceful rhythm of life in Corsica, France.

It appears that she was born 28th February 1913, making her the oldest Belgium citizen and 6th oldest known person living in France!

GRG analyzed her case and based on the information found, validated her case, making her the official doyenne of Belgium and doyenne of Corsica, France.

Discovery of a unknown 112 y.o. woman is quite a rare event, even in France! One can remember Georges Thomas of France. It’s a very impressive discovery, as being born before the start of WWI becomes rarer and rarer.
