The thing that really caught my eye was this:
Richard, her husband, has benefited more. He was fed up with his job as an IT consultant on the French minimum wage of €8.71 (£7.73) an hour. “I told him that now we had a bit of money, it was time to learn to do something else.” He is training to become a plumber.
Minimum wage? IT consultant? Sacre bleu!
