Pierre Véron (writer)

In 1854 he published his first book, a volume of verse, and went on to write for and edit many prominent journals of the day.

[2] He was the author of numerous fiction and non-fiction books chronicling and often satirizing the social mores of Parisian life.

For many years his rooms in the Rue de Rivoli were the gathering place of French literary, artistic and political figures.

He was the librettist for three works by Robert Planquette and was the co-author (with Edmond Gondinet) of several plays, including Les Affolés, a four-act comedy which premiered at the Théâtre du Vaudeville in 1883.

He is buried in Montparnasse Cemetery in a grave marked with a bronze portrait bust by Jean Gautherin.
