In the rest of her interview, Juliette Armanet spoke about the Alzheimer’s disease which ultimately took away her grandmother. In 2009, the former journalist even dedicated a documentary to Paulette, then aged 87, entitled Alzheimer’s children. “She had forgotten her whole life, she no longer knew what her name was, she no longer knew who she was.

Suddenly she became conscious again.“, confides the singer. A very strong moment for this particularly moving episode of Papotin meetings.
