During his childhood, he was instilled with values based on Christianity and solidarity. His father, Antoine Grouès, was Director of the Rhône foundries. Driven by the ethos of showing solidarity and sharing with others, he was involved in the work of many organisations, in particular the Hospitaliers-Veilleurs, a charitable organisation in Lyon.
At the age of 12, Henri Grouès found out what his father used to do every Sunday morning.
He would shave and cut the hair of around fifty homeless men, and serve them breakfast. He was known as the “pauper’s barber”.
Henri Grouès’s childhood was therefore very much influenced by solidarity and religion.
