Madame, Comtesse Isabelle de Paris
(13.08.1911 - 05.07.2003)
IN MEMORIAM
Madame was born in 1911 as Princess Isabel of Orleans-Braganza. She was a descendant of the royal house of Brazil. In 1931 she married her cousin Count Henri of Paris (1908-1999). They had 11 children, 40 grandchildren and more than 50 great-grandchildren.
In such a big family there is a lot of joy and of course also a lot of pain. Madame lost 2 of her sons and one grandson while she was alive.
