Faget was born as Camille Carmel Duprat in Villeneuve-de-Marsan, where she has lived for her entire life. She married Marcel Faget on 21 September 1936 in the commune; they worked in the haulage industry and in a lemonade factory after having their son, Guy.

Faget liked to ride a white mini-bike on the streets of her hometown. She moved into a nursing home in 2010, and took very little medication.

On her 110th birthday, Faget had minor mobility issues but was still able to celebrate with friends and nursing home staff, as well as the mayor, Patrick Campagne. Her son could not attend for health reasons. She enjoys eating sweets and the occasional glass of champagne.
