Born at Castel-Novel in Corrèze, she spent her childhood in the care of her English nanny, Miss Draper, only rarely seeing her famous mother.
In 1935, Colette de Jouvenel married Dr Dausse, a man she hardly knew. They divorced one year later.
She produced an animated film for L'Office de radiodiffusion-télévision française, entitled ''Introduction à Colette''. It premiered 18 March, 1968.
She is buried next to her mother at Père Lachaise in Paris.
