France--French sisters Raymonde Saumade and Lucienne Grare celebrated their 98th birthday recently (born on Sept’ 23, 1912) - setting the new world record for the Oldest living twins. Raymonde and Luicienne Wattelade, who live in Saint Georges de Didonne, France, revealed that the secret behind their survival and bracing all the odds of life is behind “joie de vivre” – enjoying life. It’s as simple as that but in reality it is pretty hard to follow. Their secret for longevity is happiness in life - and a nice drink of Whisky or Pastis:"I like Pastis because I'm always very thirsty, and Pastis really quenches my thirst, that's why I drink it," said Raymonde. The two sisters, totalling a whopping 196 years together, have thirteen great grand-children. This pair loves to live in the present and not wallow in the sorrows of the past or worry about what will happen in future. They still love to feel like 20year old girls and in mind they are still that as they told The Telegraph.
