About the author
Born Noémie Henriette Marie Le Coq de Kerneven in Ploërmel on July 5, 1834, she later became known by her married name, Noémie Dondel du Faouëdic. French reference sources describe her as a femme de lettres, and she died in Redon on March 25, 1915.
Her published work includes travel writing such as Impressions d'un touriste sur Saumur et ses environs and the two-volume Voyages loin de ma chambre. The surviving titles suggest a writer drawn to observation, place, and the pleasures of looking closely at the world immediately around her.
She is still discoverable today through major library and public-domain collections, which have helped keep her writing in circulation for modern readers. For listeners interested in overlooked 19th-century French voices, her books offer an appealing mix of curiosity, charm, and personal perspective.
