Singer and actress Line Renaud has been associated with the fight against cancer for 40 years. The 95-year-old has written several books, including the latest, Merci la vie! (Robert Laffont), which should be the last.

Renaud is one of those people for whom activity and projects are a driving force. She has a vitality and enthusiasm that command respect, and a desire, at 95, to still enjoy life to the fullest, preferably with a glass of champagne.
