The Woman Who Lived To 122 And Met Vincent van Gogh

In this incredible story, we explore the life of a woman who lived to 122 years old and witnessed history unfold in ways few humans ever have. As a young girl, she met Jeanne Calment, later personally spoke with Vincent van Gogh, survived two World Wars, and lived long enough to see humanity step into the digital age with the invention of the internet. Her life stretched from horse-drawn carriages to high-speed Wi-Fi — a breathtaking journey across three centuries that feels almost impossible to imagine today.
