Achille Maffre de Baugé
Achille Maffre de Baugé was an Occitan poet, native of Marseillan in the French département of l'Hérault.
A friend of Nobel Prize winner Frédéric Mistral, he is best known for Dièzes et Bémols and Terre d'Oc. He was a collaborator on the monthly review magazine Chimère, of which twenty issues appeared, a large number of which are now lost.
On the front of the Marseillan house in which he was born there is a portrait of de Baugé and a stone plaque with an extract from his poem Marseillan glorifying his village:
A primary school in Marseillan has been named "Maffre de Baugé" in his honour.
