      • Noël Mathieu (3 May 1916, Gan, Pyrénées-Atlantiques – 22 September 1984, Paris) better known under his pseudonym Pierre Emmanuel, was a French poet of Christian inspiration.


      Biography


      He was the third member elected to occupy seat 4 of the Académie française in 1968, president of PEN International between 1969 and 1971, president of French PEN Club between 1973 and 1976, and the first president of the French Institut national de l'audiovisuel in 1975.
      His second wife, née Janine Loo (daughter of C. T. Loo), died on April 23, 2013, at the age of 92. She is buried, with Pierre Emmanuel, in the Père-Lachaise cemetery (57th division).


      Académie française


      Pierre Emmanuel was elected to the Académie française (French Academy) on April 25, 1968, succeeding Marshal Juin. His official reception took place on June 5, 1969. After the election of Félicien Marceau, whose collaborationist attitude he denounced, he resigned from the Academy in 1975 and ceased to sit. His colleagues, however, followed tradition by refusing to take note of this decision and respectfully waiting until his death to replace him with the election of medicine Professor Jean Hamburger on April 18, 1985.
