Education

The teacher undertook to retrain the left-handed Mathieu, trying to get her to write with her right hand. As a result, Mireille almost began to stutter.
At fourteen, Mireille Mathieu dropped out of school and went to work. She liked to work, in her small collective at the factory she organized a vocal ensemble, where she sang herself. And the salary went to pay for vocal lessons.
