Doyenne de France edit
What does this phrase mean?? Georgia guy 13:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Roughly translated, "oldest woman in France." There's not quite an exact English translation for the word, if I'm not mistaken. I'm assuming Mr. Young has linked it, as he intends to create a list of the progression of the oldest people in France at some point? That's why I haven't delinked it (yet).

I created the 'infoboxes' at the base of the articles. I think it is neat that France has words to mean 'oldest person'. Note 'doyenne d'humanité' means 'world's oldest person.' Note that 'doyen' means 'oldest man.' Ryoung122 04:56, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Just to note, France:
--has the world's third-largest supercentenarian population (after the US and Japan) --has the longest life expectancy among major countries for females in Europe (over 84 years). --is the only nation besides the USA to have at least one living 112-year-old for the past decade.
