Early life

Daughter of Charles César Augustin de La Brousse de Verteillac, Baron de La Tour Blanche, and his second wife, Marie Henriette de Leuze, she is the granddaughter of François Gabriel Thibault de La Brousse, Marquis de Verteillac.

Career

The Princesse de Léon quickly became a world-famous personality, dividing her time between the Hôtel de Verteillac (renamed Hôtel de Rohan), 35 boulevard des Invalides in Paris, the Château de Josselin (Morbihan) and the Chalet des Fées in Pontaillac, built by her father, the Marquis de Verteillac, on the Défé estate he had acquired in 1865.

In her Paris salon, she entertained literary figures, notably Robert de Montesquiou, who dedicated one of the poems in Le Chef des odeurs suaves to her. A passionate poet, she published three successive collections: Lande fleurie (1905), Les Lucioles (1907) and Souffles d'Océan (1911). A member of the Société des poètes français, she founded a poetry prize. She gave numerous literary lectures in Paris, Brussels and the provinces. She was also a painter.[1]

During the First World War, in which she lost her eldest son, she transformed her mansion into a military hospital and devoted herself to caring for the wounded, for which she was awarded the Légion d'honneur,[2] the médaille de la Reconnaissance française and the médaille de la Reconnaissance italienne.

Her doll collection forms the basis of the Musée de la Poupée, opened in 1984 in the former stables of the Château de Josselin.[3]
