Katia Granoff in Honfleur, Calvados (14)

Katia Granoff (1895-1989) was a French poet and art gallery owner of Russian origin who was largely educated in Switzerland and, fleeing from Paris during world War II and took refuge in a medieval castle  in Voulte-sur-Rhône, Ardèche. The war over, she opened three galleries: in Paris, in Honfleur and in Cannes. She wrote Amants Maudits, a book of poems dedicated to a number of literary and historical characters, as well as several other collections. I missed the gallery in Honfleur, which has been going since 1950.
