Last Saturday, Jacqueline Catelain turned 80. This Norman woman can honestly say that she\u2019s a modern grandma \u2013 she\u2019s followed by nearly 5,000 people on Instagram. She\u2019s from Disgosville, a French commune<\/em> inhabited by 1500 people in the Northern French region of Normandy. Since autumn 2014, she\u2019s had her own Instagram account \u2013 @mamypoule<\/a>. Everything started when her grandkids bought her a cell phone. \u201cThis very morning I had to block someone who had posted an unpleasing comment.\u201d Certainly she\u2019s come a long way since then \u2013 and it\u2019s not even been two years since it all started.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was Corentin, my grandson, who introduced me to Instagram. At first I didn\u2019t see how it could be useful\u2026\u201d Some posts later, as she herself says, she already had 100 followers. She\u2019s the first one not to understand how so many people got interested in her account, but said to thank you to them, for being faithful to her, on a picture where she posed wearing an Instagram T-shirt. \u201cMany people tell me: \u2018You can\u2019t be 80, it\u2019s impossible!\u2019 Well, I am!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Jacqueline\" Jacqueline Catelain, aka @mamypoule<\/div>\n

We must say that she\u2019s not Jacqueline on Instagram, but Mamypoule (@mamypoule<\/a>), that she\u2019s posted 116 pictures and that her personal description is great. In French, it says: \u201c79 years old and not all of my teeth! Goal: 4K for my 80th<\/sup> birthday on May 7! I can\u2019t speak English at all, so thank you for commenting in French.\u201d<\/p>\n

What can we find on her Instagram? Family pictures (she has two children, six grandchildren and a great-granddaughter), flowers, decorative objects, landscapes\u2026 Every picture has its own hashtags. \u201cI usually go to YouTube, I keep myself informed on the Internet\u2026\u201d She keeps herself updated, but contrary to what you could believe she has no Facebook or Twitter accounts.<\/p>\n

Next goal \u2013 6K followers. Mamypoule, you can do it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
