Everywhere in the region will see you panels of information relating the life of Georges Sand.

George Sand is the pseudonym of Amandine Aurore Lucile Dupin, later baroness Dudevant, been born to Paris the 1st July 1804 and dead to Nohant June 8 1876, French writer.

She had a life rather unruly: she knows Franz Lizst, Alfred of Musset, Julius Sandeau to which one she has his pseudonym and especially Frédéric Chopin of which she was the mistress. She smoked the pipe and got dressed often in man, practices completely unusual for the era.

A statue in Carrara Marble marble decorates the square carrying his name.


Partout dans la région vous verrez des panneaux d'informations relatant la vie de Georges Sand.

George Sand est le pseudonyme d'Amandine Aurore Lucile Dupin, plus tard baronne Dudevant, née à Paris le 1er juillet 1804 et morte à Nohant le 8 juin 1876, écrivain française.

Elle eu une vie assez turbulente: elle connut Franz Lizst, Alfred de Musset, Jules Sandeau auquel elle doit son pseudonyme et surtout Frédéric Chopin dont elle fut la maitresse.Elle fumait la pipe et s'habillait souvent en homme, pratique tout à fait inhabituelle pour l'époque.

Une statue en marbre de Carrare orne le square portant son nom.
