[2] In 1905 she married Henri Parmentier, a director of EFEO (École Française d'Extrême Orient) archaeological service, and went with him to Indochina.

Many remote places that Parmentier wanted to study could be reached only by sampans, canoes, ox-driven carts or on foot.

[2] Having diverse responsibilities ranging from technical assistance to mending of clothes and shopping for provisions, Leuba called herself her husband’s multi-task collaborator.

[5] Among all her writings best remembered are her collection of poetry La tristesse du soleil, discussed by Patrick Laude, and Le metis ensorcelle (1941), mentioned in general survey works on Francophone Indochinese literature.

In 1945 she was detained in the Japanese concentration camp and after being released worked for the local French-language newspapers and the radio of Phnom Penh.
