Françoise Sagan

Françoise Quoirez was born in Cajarc on 21 June 1935, into a well-off middle-class family. After a difficult schooling, she passed her baccalauréat and enrolled at the Sorbonne. She took the name Sagan, borrowed from a character in Proust, to publish at the age of eighteen the book that made her famous. A serious car accident in 1957 left her dependent on painkillers. She was convicted of tax fraud and died in Honfleur on 24 September 2004.
