Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is Gigi's real name?

Answer: Gilberte

The first questions always have to be easy, don't you think?
2. Here's an easy one: Which best describes Gigi?

Answer: pale-skinned, ash-blond hair, slim

Though she was kind of "tom-boyish", Gigi was actually quite good-looking.
3. How old is Gigi in the book?

Answer: fifteen and a half

We know that Gigi was nearly sixteen during the book, that Aunt Alicia was seventy, and that Gaston was thirty-three.
4. Who does Gigi live with?

Answer: her grandmother and mother

Though she lives with both her retired grandmother and workaholic mom, her grandmother is really the one who takes care of her.
5. What does Gigi's mother, Andree, do for a living?

Answer: she's a second-lead singer

I thought Andree was really quite a bad mom for always sulking about her job and never paying attention to her growing daughter.
6. Is Aunt Alicia older or younger than her sister, Madame Alvarez?

Answer: older

Aunt Alicia and her younger sister, Madame Alvarez, are both ripe old crones who have never married but have had more than their share of lovers.
7. What is the name of Gigi's school friend, the one whom was given a ring by a Baron Ephraim?

Answer: Lydia Poret

Though Lydia has no role in this story whatsoever, she is mentioned once or twice in Gigi and Madame Alvarez's conversation.
8. True or false: Gigi knows how to drive a motor-car.

Answer: True

Not only can Gigi drive an automobile, but she drinks coffee, champagne, and smokes Egyptian cigarettes... what did you expect from such a proper French girl?
9. How is Gaston related to Gigi?

Answer: they aren't related - they're just friends

Although she sometimes teases him about his age by calling him Uncle Gaston, they are not actually related. If they were, their marriage at the end of the book would be rather disturbing!
10. True or false: Gaston has a moustache.

Answer: True

And he keeps toying with it so that it becomes quite annoying.
11. What does Gaston have problems with?

Answer: his love-life

It's quite disturbing, how many mistresses this guy goes through...
12. What is Gigi's nickname for Gaston?

Answer: Tonton

She also occasionally refers to him as "Uncle Gaston", in reference to the difference in their ages.
13. Which of these does Gaston NOT give Gigi at one time or another?

Answer: a miniature poodle

Madame Alvarez commented that Gaston spoiled Gigi - man, she was so right!
14. When Gaston asks Gigi to marry him, Gigi enthusiastically agrees.

Answer: False

In fact, she was so miserable over the idea her health started failing.
15. How does the book end?

Answer: Gaston asks Madame Alvarez for Gigi's hand in marriage

Though it is quite corny, this is how the book ends. As does this quiz. Hope you enjoyed :)
