[Episode 5, season 2] Jean-Corentin Carré, the youngest “Poilu”

Amélia goes back in time to 1917, in the middle of the World War, to meet Jean-Corentin Carré. Enlisted in the army at the age of 15, this Poilu is the youngest soldier in France. In this military camp near Verdun, Amélia is not very reassured. Especially since she is about to board a military plane for the very first time…

The podcast “Amélia’s travels, at the heart of History” is a Europe 1 Studio production, designed for children between 7 and 11 years old. 

Ready for takeoff? Amélia is on board a military plane with the youngest furry friend in France! Jean-Corentin Carré went to war when he was only 15, although it was forbidden. In this 4-winged plane, Amélia, her dog Astro, and the soldier fly over the front between France and Germany. But an enemy plane suddenly seems to be heading straight towards them! Perhaps it is the famous Red Baron? A German pilot who seems to stop at nothing…
