How much history can one person witness in a single lifetime?
Jeanne Calment, born in France in 1875, holds the record as the longest-living person in recorded history, living an incredible 122 years.
She watched the Eiffel Tower rise into the Paris skyline, met Vincent van Gogh as a young girl, learned fencing at 85, rode a bicycle at 100, appeared in a film at 114, and was still sharing her remarkable life story well past her 120th birthday. Surprisingly, Jeanne also loved chocolate, enjoyed Port wine, and smoked for much of her adult life—making her extraordinary life even more fascinating.
Whether it was luck, genetics, or her unique outlook on life, Jeanne Calment’s story remains one of the most unbelievable true stories in history.
