Here's hoping that Pierre Pineau reaches his 110th birthday in a couple weeks' time! 🙂

Interesting: France had just four living men born before the start of World War I, compared to Italy's five. That male generation really is rapidly disappearing. 🙁

Pierre still looked to be doing well in December 2022:

Yeah, he certainly looks like he's still in decent shape, and thankfully still enjoying life. 🙂
