It seems me (some vague remains) that JV met Badoureau at the "Socité
Industrielle D'Amiens" where he spent few hours every morning in the
library. Badoureau could be a civil engineer working in a lot of
domains, railways, industry, ...especially in mines ... but the coal
mines lying in the Nord of France seem me too far from Amiens.
