A Multi-Faceted Scientific Genius: Germ Theory, Founder of Vaccination, Microbiology and Pasteurization Louis Pasteur, born two days after Christmas in 1822, grew up in a small town in eastern France. As a child, he was drawn to art and it was not until his college days that he discovered an interest in science, especially chemistry. He was an exacting researcher, with an imaginative mind, who would not let go of an issue until he had discovered its root cause. #www.frenchriviera.com
