In Paris, she was educated by the Encyclopédiste priest Jean Pestré, demonstrating an early aptitude for poetry, painting and music.
After marrying Mr. Verdier, a rich merchant of Uzès, she provided a thorough education for her children, while reserving time to cultivate her own skills.
She was awarded three crowns at the Floral Games, which earned her the title of master of the academy, Consistori del Gay Saber.
What is perhaps no less flattering than these public tributes to Verdier was the testimony given in her regard by the literary women of her time, an example being a statement made by Henriette Bourdic-Viot to Adelaide Dufrenoy: "We are a crowd of musettes, Madame Verdier alone is a muse."
Verdier left a touching elegy for her brother, Antoine, who was guillotined as a Girondin.
