Simone Évrard

Simone Évrard , born with Tournus, in Saône-et-Loire on February 6th, 1764 and died with Paris, street of Barillerie, on February 24th, 1824, was the woman of Jean-Paul Marat.

Simone Évrard lived in Paris in his/her sister, Catherine Évrard, whose husband, Jean Antoine Corne, with the Friend of the people is typographer, newspaper of Jean-Paul Marat. In its Answer to the detractors of the Friend of the People , the sister of Marat, Albertine, described the year 1791 like one year particularly difficult for his/her brother. Simone intervenes in the life of Marat at one time when it needs support for all points of view. It is very insulated, even of the patriots, and its situation is very precarious materially. Knowledge that brought to us to François Chèvremont on the Évrard family makes it possible us to include/understand how Simone could help Marat to publish its Placards August-September 1792 and to take again its Journal at the end of September. Many testimonys of time show that Simone was well recognized like the woman of Marat, which signed to him, before having to flee one moment in England, a promise of marriage, published in the Journal of the Mountain . Most of the family of Marat will publish in this same Journal , a letter dated August 22nd, 1793, where she recognizes Simone Évrard like their sister.

After the assassination of the Friend of the People, Simone will remain in Paris, alive with Albertine Marat, and taking care on the memory of her husband. It will start the publication of the political and patriotic Œuvres , but the presses being removed him under Thermidor, it will be able to make appear only one volume.
