Biography edit

Claire-Marie-Gabrielle Pérou was born on November 18, 1856, in Paris's former 2nd arrondissement.[6]

She would be one of the first women to have published writings on speleology, following excursions in her region, near Lodève.[7] Her husband, the speleologist Joseph Vallot helped her with the realization of the plans and topographies. The couple had a daughter, Madeleine Vallot, who went on to become a renowned mountaineer in her own right, holding several records.

Pérou divorced Vallot in 1912.[8] She died in her home located at 22 rue de Chazelles in Paris's 17th arrondissement on February 21, 1933.[2]
