She was born in
Sainte-Hermine. She married first in 1635 to Nicolas de Lécole, Lord of Saint-Maurice. After his death, she married Philibert Gassot, known as
Du Croisy, at
Poitiers on 29 July 1652. They had at least two daughters: Angélique (died aged nine) and the actor
Marie-Angélique. She joined
Molière's company in 1659, where she gained her stage name
Mademoiselle du Croisy (a stage-name also taken by her daughter). Her poor acting and friction with other company members led to her departure from it in 1665. She died in
Dourdan in 1703. ==References==
