After studying philosophy at the Sorbonne, where she was a student of Jankélévitch, Édith de la Héronnière pursued various careers related to books and the press before becoming the secretary of Maurice Clavel.
At different times, she has worked as an essayist, journalist, and author of narratives and biographies. Édith de la Héronnière has contributed to numerous literary journals such as the Revue des deux mondes, La Nouvelle Revue Française, or Traverses, while also publishing novels since the 1990s. By adding her pen to the brushes of Fabrice Moireau, Édith de la Héronnière combines two of her passions in this new work: travel and pictorial art.
