Fougre was born in 1861 in ChambonsurVoueize, a small town in the Limousin region in central France. In 1880, she left ChambonsurVoueize at the age ofand went to Montluon where she began to work as a waitress and maid. Quickly, her beauty was remarked and she received some nicknames, such as Miss chocolate. Soon she followed a lover to live in Paris and became a model of a major fashion house.
