BIOGRAPHY
Eugénie Grandvaux was born in the commune of Lons-le-Saunier, the capital of the Jura Department, eastern France, on 19 October 1906. She spent her entire life in her birthplace. Her father was Auguste Dupouy (1866–1929), and her mother, Marie-Louise, born in Louverot, lived in Lons-le-Saunier from her marriage in 1903 until her passing in 1942.
She diligently maintained her garden until the age of 95, but a fractured femoral neck forced her to stop.
To celebrate her 110th birthday, her family—around thirty members—gathered for a meal at a restaurant. Later, a small celebration was held at the long-term care home La Vallière in Lons-le-Saunier. At the time, she had great-great-grandchildren.
Eugénie Grandvaux passed away in Lons-le-Saunier, on 4 November 2016, at the age of 110 years, 16 days.
