Guest of the show "It feels good" Thursday for her new book "And fear continues", Mazarine Pingeot returned to her childhood as a hidden daughter of François Mitterrand.
She tells how, to her chagrin, her 11-year-old youngest daughter laughs at her mother's peculiarity when they take the metro together.
INTERVIEW
Everyone knows her name and her story, but not everyone recognizes her on the street.
Nor in the metro.
The author and philosopher Mazarine Pingeot is the guest of
It feels good
Thursday for her new book,
And fear
continues
.
She tells how her story of the President's Hidden Daughter continues to pursue her today.
And especially because of her 11-year-old youngest daughter, who used to make a joke that makes her mother uncomfortable as soon as they take the metro together.

To get her mother and metro users to react, her daughter calls her by name.
"She yells 'Mazarine Pingeot' when no one is speaking, of course," explains the writer, laughing.
"Everyone on the metro turns around and looks at us. It's a very, very awkward moment."
"I always react very badly"
This joke, which has become a habit for her 11-year-old daughter, only half amuses her, even if she explains it with a smile.
"There's an age where kids tell you 'Look, the man has a big nose', and make you super uncomfortable," she says.
"My daughter does this, but she does it with me."
The child has fun to see how his mother will react.
"In fact, I always react very badly. But I am learning," explains Mazarine Pingeot, before correcting himself.
"It's not that I'm reacting badly. But it always does something to me. Like, all of a sudden, someone is pointing fingers at me."
An unpleasant sensation that she has known on several occasions in her life, but that her daughter takes childish pleasure to reproduce.
