Biographies

Germaine Haye

Germaine Haye (née Germain; 10 October 1888 – 18 April 2002) was France's oldest living person for about a year, following the death of 115-year-old Marie Brémont on 6 June 2001 until her own death at age 113 years and 190 days.[152] At the time of her death, she was the oldest living person in Europe and fourth oldest in the world.

Haye lived in the town of Mortagne-au-Perche in Orne, Normandy, western France, since she was 19 years old. She worked as a babysitter and a teacher until her three daughters grew up and left home. She then devoted herself to literature, publishing poems under the pseudonym Anne Moranget.[153] In 2000, after she fractured her femur, she became reliant on to a wheelchair and went to live in the Mortagne-au-Perche retirement home for the final two years of her life. She died in her sleep.

Camille Loiseau

Camille Blanche Loiseau (13 February 1892 – 12 August 2006) was the oldest living person in France until her death aged 114 years and 180 days. Loiseau was ranked fifth-oldest in the world in the 2007 edition of Guinness World Records. She was the oldest person ever to share a birthday with another living person, Japanese supercentenarian Toyo Endo.[154]

Loiseau was born in Paris, the youngest of nine children, four boys and five girls. On 13 August 1910, she married René Frédéric Chadal, but divorced him just fifteen days later. Loiseau never married again, and had no children of her own, but helped raise her nephews. She worked as an accountant until 1957.[155]

She was hospitalised in 1998 due to a fall and moved permanently to the Hôpital Paul-Brousse in Villejuif, Val-de-Marne in January 1999. In 2002, aged 110, she was taken on a trip to revisit her native Paris again. She died in hospital, six months after her one-hundred and fourteenth birthday.[155]

Marie-Isabelle Diaz

Marie-Isabelle Diaz (née Rodriguez; 22 February 1898 – 29 October 2011) was posthumously recognised as the oldest living French person from the death of Eugénie Blanchard on 4 November 2010, until her own death a year later. She is also the oldest person ever from the French possession of Réunion. Diaz was born in Sidi Bel Abbès, Algeria, then an overseas territory of France. She was married and had three children. Her husband died aged 60. After Algerian independence, Diaz left her homeland in 1962. She then settled in Spain with one of her sons and lived in Rouen for a few years. Diaz lived in Réunion from 1983 until her death. She was 113 years and 249 days old when she died.[156]

Mathilde Aussant

Mathilde Aussant (née Gaudet; 27 February 1898 – 23 July 2011) was, at the time of her death, believed to be the oldest verified person in France.[157] However, she was later confirmed as having been the second oldest, when Marie-Isabelle Diaz was verified to have been born a few days earlier than her, on 22 February 1898, and died three months after her.

Aussant was born in Donges,[158] the fifth of eleven children born to François Gaudet and Hélène Halgand. Following the death of her mother, she left Donges for Paris in 1923. She worked as a housekeeper and babysitter. She married a railway worker from Gare Saint-Lazare, who died in 1936. In 1946, she married another railway worker, René Aussant, who died in 1961. Their only child, a daughter, died in 2007, leaving Aussant without any immediate family.[159] In 1999, she moved to a retirement home. In 2008, aged 110, Aussant was awarded the "Medal of the city of Donges". She eventually died at a hospital in the Vendôme region on 23 July 2011, aged 113 years and 146 days.

André Ludwig

André Ludwig (6 June 1912 – 7 January 2024) was, at the time of his death, the oldest World War II veteran in the world.[160] He was born in La Ferte-sous-Jouarre and never knew his parents, being raised by his grandmother. He trained as a painter and later worked as a fitter. He married Yvonne Ludwig in 1935 and they had one daughter. In 1939, Ludwig was mobilised to fight in the Second World War, but was captured by German forces in Épinal and deported to Poland. He escaped in 1942, was caught again, and was later sent to a labour camp in Germany, from which he also escaped.[161] He served in the French resistance during the last stages of the war. Ludwig later worked as a middle manager and retired in 1972, moving to Longue-Jumelles, where he would spend the rest of his life. His wife died when he was 100. Shortly before his 109th birthday, he fractured a femur and underwent an operation; he had previously been in good health.
