Despite her 87 years of age, she is in Olympic physical condition. La Dépêche du Midi reports in its edition of the day, the fugue, then its happy ending, of an octogenarian who left her retirement home in Monestiés, in the Tarn, on Thursday for a long country getaway.

The disappearance of the resident, suffering from mild Alzheimer's, was reported around 1:30 p.m. On this first day of great heat, the gendarmes, fearing dehydration, immediately activated a vast research device. A helicopter even took off from Toulouse in support.

Family house

The old lady was found less than two hours later. She was quietly seated on a bench near her old family home. Nostalgia gave her wings since she "trotted", to use the words of the gendarmes, over 10 km.
