A French Grandmother Took an American Road Trip

Monique Uffholtz, 89, has always possessed a sense of adventure. She was born to French parents in Morocco; when she was 19, she began driving back and forth between the two countries alone so she could spend her summers in France with family.

"I love to travel," Uffholtz said. "I love to discover the habits of a new country."

As a young woman, she was in a serious car accident — her doctors said she might not survive. But she made a full recovery, and she would go on to explore Thailand and spend months in Japan. Her most recent expedition was a three-week road trip in the American West with grandson and photographer Arnaud Montagard.
