Pierre Emmanuel

Noël Mathieu (3 May 1916, Gan, Pyrénées-Atlantiques – 22 September 1984, Paris) better known under his pseudonym Pierre Emmanuel, was a French poet of Christian inspiration.

She is buried, with Pierre Emmanuel, in the Père-Lachaise cemetery (57th division).

Pierre Emmanuel was elected to the Académie française (French Academy) on April 25, 1968, succeeding Marshal Juin.

After the election of Félicien Marceau, whose collaborationist attitude he denounced, he resigned from the Academy in 1975 and ceased to sit.

His colleagues, however, followed tradition by refusing to take note of this decision and respectfully waiting until his death to replace him with the election of medicine Professor Jean Hamburger on April 18, 1985.
