Marguerite and Andre Debry, 100 and 107 years old respectively, may well be the oldest married couple in the world, the daily Le Parisien reported on Friday.
The pair from the central French town of Argenton-sur-Creuse met shortly after World War I and celebrated their 81st wedding anniversary on Friday, making them the oldest husband and wife in the world, the paper claimed.
The claim refutes Guinness World Records, which in June gave that title to an American couple living in Philadelphia.
In any case, the Debrys know exactly what it takes to live together for more than eight decades: the same tastes, respect and no quarrelling. — Sapa-DPA
