Creators, rappers, writers and even the President of the Republic… all have their grandmother in their hearts. Both a landmark, a refuge, and today a force of inspiration, what place does it really occupy?
Thanking your grandmother is no longer a simple gesture of politeness. Whether you are an artist, a photographer, a writer, a politician, a great leader or even the President of the Republic, paying homage to this central figure in our lives seems to have become statement. We catch rappers who caress them with words like Orelsan with song Jeanor the American Macklemore who created the title Glorious on the occasion of grandmother’s 100th birthday. Some enhance the moments spent in the kitchen with him. Like Jean Imbert, the current chef at Plaza Athénée, who opened the Mamie restaurant with his grandmother in 2019 before closing it when she died to keep the memory of their shared moments intact.
From Bernard Arnault to Emmanuel Macron, via Robert Badinter, David Foenkinos, Philippe Torreton…, all salute this guardian figure of their history in their own way. A pillar of identity, inspiration or refuge… Paradoxically, in a society marked by youth, the star of grandmothers…
