In Poupendol statistics , it often happens that the search word "Loulotte" appears. We therefore had to satisfy our visitors, especially as this adorable little doll of our time is delightful in every way ! |
 The first issues of La Semaine de Suzette from 1922 tell us that the Marquise de Grand'Air was a god-daughter, Louise, daughter of her gardeners Castle Clocher les Becasses (Belltower-the- Woodcock).. Louise grew up, married, had a daughter, Charlotte Louise, known as "Loulotte" and died shortly after birth. The Marquise had therefore sought the child Loulotte and had entrusted the care of her faithful Becassine
In fact, Mr. Maurice Languereau, author of "Becassine" under the pseudonym, an anagram of Caumery, had a daughter, Claude, whose existence had inspired the creation of character "Loulotte ". Miss Languereau become Madame Jacques CANLORBE recently died in PARIS about two year ago. Loulotte and his nurse Becassine (Picture of Agnes Sura) |
