Antoine de Saint
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was born in Lyons on June 29, 1900.
He flew for the first time at the age of twelve, at the Ambérieu airfield, and it was then that he became determined to be a pilot.
He kept that ambition even after moving to a school in Switzerland and while spending summer vacations at the family’s château at Saint-Maurice-de-Rémens, in eastern France.
(The house at Saint-Maurice appears again and again in Saint-Exupéry’s writing.)
Later, in Paris, he failed the entrance exams for the French naval academy and, instead, enrolled at the prestigious art school l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
In 1921 Saint-Exupéry began serving in the military, and was stationed in Strasbourg. There he learned to be a pilot, and his career path was forever settled
