Mr Grenier age 91 years put a wooden sign up in his garden asking for a partner ... read on
Mr Grenier's plea for a woman came after the death of his wife left a huge hole in his life. The appeal captured the attention of international media, and several enquirers.
His sign read: "Due to bereavement, looking for woman to live with, 70-80 years old with or without car" - painted on to a large piece of plywood.
He took the unusual approach having already tried placing an ad in the local paper without success.
After a few false trails, along came Yolande from nearby Arveyres, who moved in with her chickens and her dog, Bianca.
"It's a very happy ending. Being alone was really hard for Roger-Marc after his wife Simone died, and now they're both happy which is nice to see."
Roger-Marc and Yolande are not commenting. Yoyo, as she is affectionately known, has kept her own flat in Arveyres but for the moment has no plans to move back into it.
"It's not exactly a passionate love affair. It's friendship and companionship and it's sharing life, which is so important," the friend added. "They just enjoy life together."
