It was when she was a teenager that Anne-Marie discovered the secret of her birth: she was the fruit of a union between a priest and a nun. She agreed to tell her story to Olivier Delacroix in this episode of the podcast “Dans les yeux d'Olivier” produced by Europe 1 Studio. When she was a child, Anne-Marie felt a deep unease within her family and sensed that something was being hidden from her. Especially since his parents are regularly the subject of rumors in their small village of Cogolin, in Vaucluse. One day when she leaves school, one of her uncles calls her to make strange revelations. Anne-Marie then discovers that her mother is a former nun and her father, a former priest. A love story that begins in 1949 in Oran, Algeria, when his mother was a religious nurse in a dispensary. But when Anne-Marie was born in 1951, her father, then a priest, came under pressure from his colleagues. The Church does not allow her to join her family and the bishop arranges for the adoption of little Anne-Marie in order to cover up the affair. Anne-Marie was therefore entrusted to a foster family until she was three years old. But the day the adoption papers are ready, the little girl's mother threatens to cause a scandal. Thus, Anne-Marie's parents manage to get her back and return to France. But their story was constantly singled out for many years... After this discovery, Anne-Marie founded the association “Les Enfants du silence”, intended for the children of priests, most of the time rejected by their families. In this episode of the podcast “Dans les yeux d'Olivier” produced by Europe 1 Studio, Anne-Marie talks about the origin of her birth and the love story of her parents beyond the conventions of the time .
