Hello, we're in Nice, at the Château des Aurois, and we're going to ask people what their childhood dream was and if they've managed to fulfill it.
And right now, it's very, very hot because we're in the middle of a heat wave, so wish us good luck because we're going to be dripping.
Thank you, we are on the approach.
Good day, you.
What was your dream when you were younger?
Before, when I was younger, I wanted to be a footballer, so I asked my mother to teach me in a club and all that, but she didn't want to.
So after that, I tried again year after year, but she still didn't want to, so I realized that I couldn't become a footballer because I didn't have enough training.
So I, in fact, wanted to be a repairman of fire trucks because my father, in fact, he recovered old cars, for example, traction, and then he repainted them by hand.
And sometimes, when I saw him work, I wanted to do the same thing again.
And then over time, I don't know if it seemed...
I mean, I don't know, at first, I liked it, but now, I'm not interested anymore.
It's just that it was a child's dream at first.
The envy has faded, in fact.
Yes, there you go.
You always wanted to do hairdressing?
I always wanted to be a hairdresser and I did.
Moi, when I was younger, my dream, was to be a footballer.
But when you see in life, with all the trainers that there are nowadays, it's la galère.
So, I changed my job.
Now, I am a professional baker.
And now, the greatest thing in my life, would be to open my bakery in my name.
And voilà, what.
Du coup, are you happy with this new profession?
Yes, I like it.
I've been working in this field for seven years.
So, I'm very happy and voila.
So, what was your childhood dream when you were little?
Little one, I had the chance, I realized my dream because I became a sapper-firefighter.
I'm from a family of firefighters.
And from a young age, I dreamed of doing the job my family did and I did it.
Have you succeeded with much difficulty or ease?
It takes a lot of tenacity to get there.
So, with much work, I've arrived.
Now, I am a professional firefighter.
What were your dreams in the past?
What was my dream?
How dire?
My dream was to work, to live like all citizens.
And live in harmony with all the people around.
Bring your supports, bring your knowledge, déjà.
Put them in common with all the people.
And learn also the knowledge of others.
Let it go faster, let's not be all in our coin.
Child, I wanted to do the world tour.
Have you managed to fulfill at least part of this dream?
I plan to finish it next year.
A tour of the world in a year?
In several years, I've worked in several countries, spent six months somewhere and six months elsewhere.
And then, does it work like this at the end?
No, no, not at all.
On the contrary, it becomes harder.
Hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, and hard.
Because I work in the big surfaces.
When I see the morning, I put the garbage outside, I see the people who are waiting in line
to search the garbage cans, to take what's to eat in them,
It hurts my heart, frankly.
What did you want to do when you were younger?
Did you have a dream or no dream?
Not a dream, but afterwards, I wanted to do, as he said, the rigorous professional football.
But it's a little complicated these days.
In case, at the time, it was a little simpler.
Now, I'm still in the studies.
There, at the entrance, normally, I go to the sports college.
And then, why not be a sports educator with the kids,
I'm sure I'll like it, but it's in the sport.
And then, if not, I don't know yet.
Anyway, nothing is done for the moment, so I'll see you later.
I have a second little question to ask you in relation to the fact that you wanted to be a hairdresser.
What made you want to be a hairdresser?
Because I like the hair.
I always cut my mommy's hair, my daddy's, my sister's.
And I had a good feeling, you know.
But now, if you touch my hair, I won't.
I've changed.
Are you a new dream at the moment?
Exactly, a new dream, I don't know.
I think there's a lot of things I'd like to do.
I think I'm living my passion already.
Who is it?
In fact, there are several.
I have music and history, so I don't know if I'd like to live by music or history.
I don't know, actually.
Can music and history also combine?
Yes, but I prefer a stable job.
