Biography

Xavier Navarrot (in Occitan classical norm : Xavier Navarròt) was an Occitan-language poet from Béarn.

He was born near Lucq-de-Béarn in a wealthy family and studied law and medicine in Paris before returning in Béarn where he spent the rest of his life.

He was a supporter of the republic and of progressist ideas, which was humoristically sated in his poetry.
