La Famille


François Xavier was born and raised in the 15e arrondissement of Paris. Catherine was from a small town outside of Orléans. She moved to Paris during her childhood. She walked to her high school past François’ apartment building. It was her senior year. He was seven years older, and had already graduated from college. Standing at the window, François saw Catherine, and thought to himself “I like that.” They met later through mutual friends. They married, and moved down the street from Catherine’s building on Avenue de Breteuil. They have been together for 42 years. They have four sons. They host college students who are studying abroad. They are playing with two of their nine grandchildren in the other room.
