Years 1938/39

Of course, all the summer, Christmas, Easter holidays were back in Vierville.

Philippe was the "big" one, the only one allowed to start the engine and pump that filled the Vierville pressurized tank to give running water. It was, according to Dagoubert, a "bad motor", with which one "swimmed" to see it "spray between your gifted!"; the start, by hand dragging the transmission belt at the pump was indeed quite delicate...and dangerous. The precautionary principle was not yet in force.

Philippe had his room, which communicated with the other three, on the second floor, above the living room where the parents spent the evening; when we were fighting flat in the evening, we were often called to order, given the swing of the chandelier of the living room!
In this living room, we played at the mahjong, sometimes with Brigitte, who had a hard time finding his place in our quartet... (canoe)

The "four sons Aymon", as the parents sometimes called us, were very welded:
- cycling, fishing, or boating
- hay,
- hot wine in the dunes of the beach
- and even for horseback riding, Philippe followed the other three though he did not like horses (Pommon, then Muscadet) + horse riding training at the 2nd Leather (cattlesnake reg.) in Dupleix in winter 38-39.

However, some affinities:
- Tennis with Phil and Francois
- Sunbathing with JP and Michel
- DIY with JP and François
Philippe liked to laugh, he was a champion of the puck and grimaces (at Aunt Suzon's great damn when we were making family photos (we were a lot!), it was spoiling film...
