She wanted to keep her vineyards, so she buckled down to the task and became a female winegrower, working more and better than a man, devoting herself entirely to the vines and her son. However she was still not accepted by the winegrowers of the village. She had to do even better to prove herself. Miraculously for the time, she managed to do this, and better than some!

A hardworking and cheerful woman. MADAME VEUVE POINT used to sing (in the vines, at home…) and dance to the violin at the village dances or when she visited friends who liked to dance. Her son Benoît learnt to play the trumpet and would often play to celebrate the end of harvest…

MADAME VEUVE POINT occupied herself with embroidery in her spare time, making dress collars. It was an opportunity for her to sit down for a while, otherwise she never did! There was always a cat in the house, to keep down the mice of course, but also as a companion. Their relationship with their horse, which they used to plough the vineyard, was also very affectionate. He served them well and in return they took good care of him, almost like a member of the family, and were proud of him too.
