BIOGRAPHY
Anna Grelounaud was born in the commune of Payzac in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, on 28 February 1909. She spent much of her life in the village of Aubisse, in the commune of Payzac, working the land alongside her husband, Henri Grelounaud. They got married on 11 January 1930, and had one daughter, Georgette. Henri was a skilled craftsman who worked with wood. As a wheelwright, he built carts, wagons, wheelbarrows, and various other wooden modes of transport, crafting them entirely by hand, including the intricate spoked wheels.
