Biography

Marie Brémont (1886–2001) is the fourth oldest Frenchwoman ever, and was the world's oldest person from November 2000 to June 2001. Pictured in 1910, aged 23–24.

French supercentenarians are citizens, residents or emigrants from France who have attained or surpassed 110 years of age. As of January 2015, the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) had validated the longevity claims of 161 French supercentenarians. France was home to the oldest human being ever whose longevity was well documented, Jeanne Calment, who lived in Arles for 122 years and 164 days.

The oldest living French person, is Lucile Randon, born 11 February 1904, aged 116 years, 112 days as of 2 June 2020. Randon is also the second oldest living person in the world behind Japanese woman Kane Tanaka. The verified oldest French man ever was Maurice Floquet, a veteran of World War I who lived 111 years and 320 days across three centuries (1894–2006).

Biographies

Marie Brémont

Marie Marthe Augustine Lemaitre Brémont (née Mésange; 25 April 1886 – 6 June 2001) was the oldest recognised person in the world from November 2000 until her death at age 115 years 42 days. She was born in Noëllet, Maine-et-Loire, on April 25, 1886. Her first husband, railway worker Constant Lemaître, died from his wartime injuries shortly after the end of the First World War. She remarried to a taxi driver, Florentin Brémont, who died in 1967. She had no children. Over the course of her life, she worked as a farmer, a nanny, a seamstress, and in a pharmaceutical factory. At 103, she was hit by a car and broke her arm as a result. She died at a retirement home in Candé, Maine-et-Loire.

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 Marie Brémont on 6 June 2001 until her own death at age 113 years 190 days. She was also 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. In 2000, after she fractured her femur, she was confined to a wheelchair, and went to live in the Mortagne-au-Perche retirement homefor 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 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.

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 fifteen days later. She never married again, and had no children of her own, but helped raise her nephews. She worked as an accountant until 1957.

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, she was taken on a trip to see her native Paris again. She died in the hospital, six months after her one-hundred and fourteenth birthday, which she had celebrated "with a little champagne".

Marie-Simone Capony

Marie-Simone Capony (14 March 1894 – 15 September 2007) was, at age 113, the oldest living person in France. She became the French doyenne following the death of 114-year-old Camille Loiseau in August 2006. At the time of her death, aged 113 years and 185 days, due to heart failure, she ranked as the fifth-oldest person in the world. Capony was born in Charlieu (Loire), and lived in a retirement facility in Cannes. She never married as her fiancé was killed in action at the beginning of the First World War in 1914. Capony was not able to walk since she turned 100, following surgery on a broken femur, but she still remained in fairly good health considering her age.

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. She 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, she left her homeland in 1962. She then settled in Spain with one of her sons and lived in Rouen for a few years. She lived in Réunion from 1983 until her death. She was 113 years 249 days old when she died.

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. However, she was later deemed the second oldest, when Marie-Isabelle Diaz was verified to have been born a few days earlier than her, on 22 February 1898.

Aussant was born in Donges, France, 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 daughter died in 2007, leaving Aussant without any immediate family. In 1999, she moved to a retirement home. In 2008 she was awarded the Medal of the city of Donges. She died at a hospital in Vendôme on Saturday, 23 July 2011, aged 113 years, 146 days.

Lucile Randon

Lucile Randon was born in Alès, on 11 February 1904. She worked as a gouvernante in various families, and became a religious sister at age 41. She worked in a hospital in Vichy for 31 years, then moved to a nursing home in Haute-Savoie for 30 years, and finally to Toulon since 2009. She is known by her religious name Sœur André. She uses a wheelchair.At the age of 116 years, 112 days, she is the second oldest living person and the oldest living European person. Randon had three brothers, and a twin sister who died as an infant. On her birthday in 2019, she commented: "115 years is enough, I hope the Good Lord takes me this year". The mayor of Toulon, Hubert Falco, presented her with the city's honorary citizenship. She also met Didier Borione, 90, whom she had taken care of when he was two years old, and who located her using the internet.
