Abstract: In 2008 or earlier, Michel Mend`es France asked for an instance of a real number $x$ such that both $x$ and $1/x$ are simply normal to a given integer base $b$. We give a positive answer to this question by constructing a number $x$ such that both $x$ and its reciprocal $1/x$ are continued fraction normal as well as normal to all integer bases greater than or equal to $2$. Moreover, $x$ and $1/x$ are both computable.
