Pierre Zaccone

Pierre Zaccone (2 April 1817 – 12 April 1895) was a popular 19th-century French novelist.

He owned a castle which is now named after him in Locquirec, a small Breton seaside resort located on the border of Finistère and Cotes d'Armor.

He authored some dramas in collaboration, including Le cousin Verdure, comédie-vaudeville in 1 act by Saint-Yves in 1855 and one after his novel, Les Nuits du boulevard, in 1880.

After 1870, much of his work was published by Édouard Dentu [fr].
