Un bref coup d'oeil à l'histoire de Jean dans les photos...

Germain Lafaurie, Jean's Father (above: circa 1930), 
was born in Roquefort, France.

 

 

Georgette Amélie [née Lartigue] Lafaurie, the
mayor's daughter, was born in Allons.

 

Le château de Montréal, Peyrehorade  (le château des Vicomtes d'Orthes 16e  siècle sur les Gaves réunis), France,  where Jean  began a metal-working apprenticeship at age 13.

 

Jean with friend at Kanawake Reserve, Montreal, 1964.

 

 

Jean hitting the ski slopes, circa 1971. Jean Louis Biron, who taught Jean to ski, also made a movie on the Canadian ski team (Labrador City) in 1972. Biron and the skiers were so impressed with Jean that they invited him to appear with them in the film. Yves Bienvenue, who worked for Lanctot Ski, made Jean's very first skis.
