Last of our series, Nicolas, works supervisor at Bouygues Travaux Publics, who have fond memories of the hospital where his daughter was born.

Unlike many dads with a slight tendency to panic when their child is born, Nicolas Loubly was not about to get lost in the corridors of the maternity unit when his daughter Prune decided to enter the world. After all, three years earlier he had been a familiar figure in all the wards in the Women, Children and Haematology department at Caen teaching hospital, where he had been working for Quille Construction (a building subsidiary in France) as secondary trades supervisor.

“It was funny to find myself there with my wife, though not entirely unexpected, because the idea had crossed my mind while I was working on the project”, says Nicolas. “I was happy that my wife would be giving birth in a good, welcoming and modern environment.”
