Anti-Aging Secret Revealed

Okay, it's settled. I have to go to France again to find out the secret of youth. Somehow, they apparently know how to look young at a very advanced age.
Is there some fountain of youth? Some beauty cream? Some food that they eat?
I am determined to figure it out.
How do I know this antiaging secret exists?
Here's a picture of Earl with our friend Marguerite when they went out to dinner along the Rue Mouffetard the other night:

Should I tell you how old she is or should I let you guess?
I'll let you guess for now.
What do you think?
Age Revealed: Thanks to everyone who guessed. Marguerite is 85.

I am going to venture and say it is the better work/life balance that keeps them young. Not as much stress. I remember when I lived in France I was shocked to see how much slower the pace of life is, how much more time people had to spend with their friends on a weekly basis, how much more time they had to enjoy their lunches. The shorter work week combined with the ample vacation time and longer lunches. That must be it. :)

Quirky Girls - I think you are absolutely correct with your theory about work/life balance. We should all take heed.

She has really great skin and looks 60ish to me.

she looks marvelous! I remember our time with her as if it were yesterday. I continue to tell my kids how lovely it was to listen to her english accent and her fluent french, my two grandmothers combined in one!
Viva la Marguerite!

I guessed her to be 70-something. But I have to say that she looks 60 something. Pictures could be deceiving, but I bet she looks even younger in person. She also reminds me of my mother, as my mom also looks younger than her age. That's why a lot of people mistake her for my sister.
