Life

Georges Borgeaud attended the secondary school in Aubonne and the College of the Abbey of Saint- Maurice, which he left in 1933 for financial reasons. Then he wanted to become a monk, but changed after six months to mind and worked afterwards as a teacher and tutor. Finally, he made a bookseller, and left in 1946 to Switzerland in order to establish himself in Paris. There he lived until his death at the Rue Froidevaux 59, on the seventh floor. In 1952 he published his first novel Le Préau, which was awarded the Prix des Critiques. Georges Borgeaud died on December 6, 1998 in his apartment on the Rue Froidevaux in Paris, after which he had demanded that they should leave him alone kindly.

The estate of Georges Borgeaud is kept in the Swiss Literary Archives in Bern.
