Marius André (1868-1927) was a writer, poet, journalist, critic and translator from French to Occitan, born in Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes, where there is a plaque on his house. Initially he was close to Mistral's Félibrige and published by Joseph Roumanille. However, he later became one of the collaborators of Charles Maurras's L'Action française. He also contributed to Revue universelle, La Revue du siècle and other organs. In the garden of the chapel at Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes a reproduction of his funeral monument, made by David Vallée, was made to replace the original in the Cimetière de Vaugirard in Paris, which was accidentally destroyed.
