BIOGRAPHY
Marie Clavié was born in Santa Fe, Argentina, on 23 July 1897 in a family of eight siblings.
She came to Toulouse, Occitanie, France, at about age 25, for love – she married a French man. Her husband was Jean-Barthélémy Clavié (Mimi). She did not have children, which she considered a regret. But Marie found companionship and care — she had a “faithful maie” (maid or caretaker) for 20 years, Sra. Lignon, who she said had given her a family in lieu of children.
Marie described her husband as “an elegant, handsome, good man.” Together with her husband she ran the Hôtel Laffont, which was requisitioned during World War II by the Germans, and also Le petit Robinson in Blagnac.
She said she never wore makeup; for her face care she used Marseille soap. She used to smoke two packs of American cigarettes a day, and drank red wine. By the time of her 110th birthday, she no longer drank wine, only water. At the time, she was living in a retirement home in Bellefontaine and said she felt good, happy, and in good health.
Clavié passed away in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, Occitanie, France, on 15 February 2008, at the age of 110 years, 207 days.
