With them, the cliché of the painful mother-in-law, which we do not appreciate, has no place! Besides, Franck Bourdé, who has become “his manager” as he has fun saying, believes it hard as iron: Catherine Lebreton could well be Miss Mamie.
At least, the resident of Duneau, in Sarthe, aged 59, candidate for the election Miss Mamie Granny France 2026. Finally, almost … “It was I who wrote it”, admits his son -in -law, all smiles. Catherine unrolls the thread of history.
»We didn’t know what we were committed to«
I saw this election on Facebook last year. It had taken place in Saint-Maixent. And I said to Franck, you’re going to find that you, and that’s it. And he brought me that, my inscription, March 15, for my birthday.
The two accomplices are then immersed in a hell of a adventure. “We did not know what we were committed to because we still have things to do as a challenge on Facebook and Instagram to harvest the most votes,” reports the candidate. Very quickly taken up by his son -in -law: “Likes”.
For an association
Not to mention a presentation video to send this Sunday, May 4, 2025 to the jurors.
“A presentation of me but also of the association to which we will donate the money collected via the sale of raffle tickets to one euro. It is the candidate who sells the Miss tickets of the previous year. And we have chosen for next year, that it would be for the benefit of the Princess Anaïs association, a young person from Thorigné-sur-Dué who is suffering from an orphan disease that Franck knows ”, places the granny.
An experience, and memories
And if her candidacy takes a little time, she has no regrets. “I am very happy to participate. It will make us good memories, it is an experience, ”says the one who, locally, is already a star.
“At work (she is a bakery sales team at the crossroads of Le Mans, editor’s note) it went around! It is true that I am always in the right shots. When there is the competition of the ugly sweater, I do it. And we always come to pick me up when there are challenges to take up. I’m still ready!
Last challenge? The Oziris attraction last weekend at Parc Asterix.
“I like the challenges”
If she loses? “It’s okay, it’s funny and it makes me happy, I like challenges. “And the game …” I often play on RTL. And there, I just won a week’s vacation at Palais sur Mer, with Sweet FM radio, it’s reserved, we leave in early September! »»
Her husband prefers to stay in the shadows
A trip with her husband, Domi. But in terms of the election of Miss Mamie Granny, which will take place on June 8 in Morbihan, in Malestroit, we must not count on him. “I don’t like to put myself forward,” he blows discreetly, while preparing his fishing equipment. His wife flies to his rescue: “He prefers his garden, and go to the pond that we have. »»
The election of June 8, with its granddaughters and relatives
And for June 8, Domi has a good excuse. Let’s say, a very found excuse: he will keep three of his five grandchildren.
-“I take my two granddaughters, Jade and Cataleya, who are just waiting for that!” But for my three grandsons, Jordan, Thylan and Rayan, it’s not worth it, it’s not going to please them, especially to sit all afternoon, ”smiles Catherine.
Who will also be accompanied by his sister, and his mother. “We are 13 to make the trip”.
Scroll in a swimsuit? “We are too young”
She will have three competitors, including another Sarthoise, from La Suze-sur-Sarthe. Like a miss, she will have to provide four passages.
“One in a black dress with emerald green accessories, one in my downtime in Mamie, one in a representative outfit of the theme of this year, ‘Voyage Voyage’, and a last in evening clothes. »»
No parade in a swimsuit, like Miss France, for these grannies. “We are too young for that,” Pouffe la Dunoise.
Who invites Franck: “There is also my pitch to prepare, we must take care of it. »»
Another future occupation of the son -in -law, the editing of the video.
“It’s a great granny. Always thoroughly (…) “
But nothing seems impossible for the one he has known for eighteen years, he who forms a couple with the second of his three daughters, Charlène.
“She deserves it. It’s a great granny. Always thoroughly, always ready to play. Catherine is a good living, ”admits the one who can also count on her for her grandchildren, to keep, or convey. Just like her sister-in-law Vanessa, the eldest siblings.
Other grandchildren to come?
As for the youngest, Marine, known as “Mimie”, it will be necessary to wait again. She is 23 years old so we are waiting, ”says Catherine. And to be changed: “But hey, she is young, and she has just bought a house. »»
In the meantime, she devotes herself fully to others. And secretly dreams of bringing back the title of super grandma. Even if it would seem that in the hearts of her family, she is already the elected.
