Mademoiselle Petitpas (last name pronounced [pətiːpɑ]; c. 1710 - 24 October 1739) was a French comedian and operatic soprano.
Petitpas was born circa 1710 to a Parisian father (a locksmith) and an unknown mother.
When she came back in April 1734,[1] Petitpas was both acclaimed for her talents and the object of conversations due to her affair with Bonnier.
However, because of the growing scandals and talks about their relationship, Bonnier and Petitpas left Montpellier for Paris.
He prepared in her honour a lavish feast in Plaine Saint-Denis [fr], where a ballet was to be performed.
