MARTINE VENIAT Biography
Biot is my village, for me there is nothing more important than Biot.
Everything I have done in my life is for Biot. My father fought in the Indochina war, we were born during his military service. Then he went to Morocco and we joined him in 1954 with my brothers René, Lupi and my sister Marie-thé. He became seriously ill and we returned to Biot in a hurry. We all know Biot, but the real history is not known to everyone, which is why I decided to work at the Museum of Biot and joined an electoral list on the sole condition that I take care of the heritage. In 2001, at the elections (Operto and Boucand list), Mr Boucand was elected and I was in the opposition but I participated a lot in Tourism and Heritage. Then at the next elections, being on the list of JPierre Dermit, I spent some very good times dealing with early childhood and heritage. I withdrew when G. Debras was elected due to health problems. I love living in Biot, every morning I walk my little dog, Biot is my DNA. My health problems may force me to look for a single-storey house as I live in an old Biot house with several levels. At that time St Julien lasted 4 days: we were bridesmaids for St Julien for years, we had the cockade, we were proud. With Robert Cassella (SAM) we played the jam game. There was the Baletti, the track was made of wood, so we scraped the candles to make it slide better. We lived in rue de la poissonnerie, it was the most beautiful street in the village, where there were all the young people of our age. We even had Johnny Halliday in Biot - Martine sings: "All around us, people are jealous, la la la la la..." BUT FOR ME BIOT WILL ALWAYS BE BIOT
