She went by the pen name Renée Marie Gouraud d'Ablancourt, partly using her marital name (her spouse was Georges François Marie Lucien Gouraud en 1872) and partly her mother's (Julie Clotilde Emerance Perrot d'Ablancourt).

[4] On 17 July 1872, Renée married Georges Gouraud (owner of Papeteries de Chantenay), a wealthy industrialist from Nantes.

The couple first settled in Limoges before returning to live in Anjou, at the Château de La Filotière, which Renée was particularly fond of and where she would, much later, spend the rest of her life.

[7] In 1909, she published the stories of L'Oiselle,[8] or Véga de Ortega, in La Mode du Petit Journal (supplement).

She was transformed into a superheroine by her Lady-Bird costume, a suit with artificial wings that allowed her to fly over Paris, where she carried out her adventures.
