Marie-Noémi Cadiot

In 1846, while still a minor, Cadiot eloped with Alphonse Louis Constant, better known as occultist Eliphas Levi; her father, a government official, forced Constant to marry her. They had stillborn twins and a daughter, Mary, who died in 1854 at the age of seven years. Cadiot left Constant in the early 1850s for Marquis Alexandre de Montferrier, brother-in-law of Messianist philosopher Józef Maria Hoene-Wroński, and had the marriage annulled in 1865. In the late 1850s, she had a liaison with architect Hector Lefuel, from which a son was born in 1859, whom she called Louis Vignon. She remarried to politician Maurice Rouvier on 3 September 1872. She died on 10 April 1888 in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and was buried at the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

She attended Mrs Niboyet's Women's Club, and wrote in the Le Tintamarre and Le Moniteur du Soir soaps under the literary pseudonym of Claude Vignon (a character from a novel by Honoré de Balzac), which was formalised in 1866. She also published under the literary pseudonym of H. Morel. Cadiot published Contes à faire peur in 1857, Un drame en province - La statue d'Apollon in 1863, Révoltée!, Un naufrage parisien in 1869, Château-Gaillard in 1874, and Victoire Normand in 1862.

She also worked under the names Claude Vignon, H. Morel and Marie-Noémi. The authorities additionally record the headings Marie-Noemi Cadiot, Noémie Rouvier, Noémie Constant Vignon, Claude Vignon (pseudonym) and Noémi Cadiot-Constant Rouvier. Her recorded language was French. She married Eliphas Levi and Maurice Rouvier. One child is recorded: Louis Vignon.
