Biographies Germaine Haye Germaine Haye (née Germain; 10 October 1888 – 18 April 2002) was France's oldest living person for about a year, following the death of 115-year-old Marie Brémont on 6 June 2001 until her own death at age 113 years and 190 days."113-jährige Französin in Seniorenheim verstorben", (""113-year-old Frenchwoman dies in retirement home"), ShortNews.de, 2002-04-19. Retrieved 2007-11-11. At the time of her death, she was the oldest living person in Europe.
Haye lived in the town of Mortagne-au-Perche in Orne, Normandy, western France, since she was 19 years old. She worked as a babysitter and a teacher until her three daughters grew up and left home. She then devoted herself to literature, publishing poems under the pseudonym Anne Moranget.
Camille Loiseau Camille Blanche Loiseau (13 February 1892 – 12 August 2006) was the oldest living person in France until her death aged 114 years and 180 days.
Loiseau was born in Paris, the youngest of nine children, four boys and five girls. On 13 August 1910, she married René Frédéric Chadal, but divorced him 15 days later. Loiseau never married again, and had no children of her own, but helped raise her nephews. She worked as an accountant until 1957.
She was hospitalised in 1998 due to a fall and moved permanently to the Hôpital Paul-Brousse in Villejuif, Val-de-Marne in January 1999. In 2002, aged 110, she was taken on a trip to revisit her native Paris.
Marie-Isabelle Diaz Marie-Isabelle Diaz (née Rodriguez; 22 February 1898 – 29 October 2011) was posthumously recognised as the oldest living French person from the death of Eugénie Blanchard on 4 November 2010, until her own death a year later. She is also the oldest person ever from the French possession of Réunion. Diaz was born in Sidi Bel Abbès, Algeria, then an overseas territory of France. She was married and had three children. Her husband died aged 60. After Algerian independence, Diaz left her homeland in 1962. She then settled in Spain with one of her sons and lived in Rouen for a few years. Diaz lived in Réunion from 1983 until her death. She was 113 years and 249 days old when she died.
Mathilde Aussant Mathilde Aussant (née Gaudet; 27 February 1898 – 23 July 2011) was, until her death, believed to be the oldest verified person in France. However, she was later confirmed as having been the second oldest, when Marie-Isabelle Diaz was verified to have been born a few days earlier than her, on 22 February 1898, and died three months after her.
