Around 1966, she settled in Dinard where she did not leave until the late 1990s to return to her native village. She lived there peacefully until her death in September 2004 by the children of friends who helped her and her family during the Second World War.
Her novels, rural as "Jabadao", which earned him the Prix Femina, or maritime as "Matelot Gaël", are set in a Brittany half real and half dream.
Writing was not her only talent because she exposed her miniature paintings at the Salon des artistes français.
