Max Jacob met his best friends at the grammar school La Tour d´Auvergne :
the Villard brothers who chose to remain in the vieux pays the Bolloré
brothers who died tragically. |

« Except for his
friends he was always disconcerting. He had two faces : the very sensitive
writer and poet and the street urchin who loved fooling his
neighbours a novator and a queer character who has his place in our
literature ». |

Although he spent most of his time in Paris Jacob enjoyed coming in August to his old Quimper in order to meet his family and his friend in the Café de lépée where he went every day. But he sometimes went away which displeased the people of Quimper to Bénodet Tréboul or Douarnenez. The circumstances his mothers death in November 1937 to begin with brought him back into his native town and his last trip to Quimper took place in the spring 1942 for his sister Delphines funeral. |
