Biography

Paule Regnier grew up in Versailles, where her father, a career officer, had been sent in 1890, and where he left his family when the obligations of the military profession caused him to change his residence.

After the marriage of these, Paule Regnier remained alone with her mother until the death of the latter in 1926.
