Buron, Nicole de

(January 12, 1929, Tunis, Tunisia-)

   Raised by her aristocatic grandparents until she was eleven years old, she made her secondary studies at Rabat, Morroco.

Five years later, she took holidays and traveled across the Sahara. In 1956, she wrote her first book (Drôle de Sahara, Editions Pierre Horay), which was inspired by her journey.
