Personal life
Chaumel was from an artist family; her father loved painting, her mother was a pianist and her uncle, Antonin Provost, a photographer. She studied singing and piano at the lycée de jeunes filles de Saint-Sernin. She married Pierre Grand in 1919, with whom she had a son, Bernard, in 1922. She divorced him a year later and married Chales Chaumel that same year, with whom she had a daughter, Pâquerette "Paqui", in 1925. At the beginning of World War II, she put a Jewish family from Antwerp up in her home.
