It was a premonitory date: [[Enrico Rastelli]], the greatest of all juggling legends, was born on a December 19, too&mdashalthough it was seventy-seven years earlier, in 1896. Françoise was the youngest of the four children her mother raised alone—her father, who worked for the IBM company, having left his family when Françoise was five years old.

	As a little girl, Françoise had done some baton twirling, and she was introduced to juggling when she was eight years old by an Australian juggler. What was originally just a hobby quickly became a true passion. She continued training by herself, improving her skills by trial and error. In 1984, her juggling mentor invited her to spend a vacation in Australia. Françoise had become so proficient that she was invited there to make her fist television appearance as a juggling prodigy; she was only ten years old.
