The businessman and entrepreneur Sebastien Clamorgan is the great grandson of Madeleine, a teacher and philosopher who founded many Catholic schools in France.
The successful entrepreneur and founder of the global consulting and investment firm Venia International, Sebastien Clamorgan, has noble roots, and his origins can be traced back to the aristocratic family of the Clamorgans. One of the most important figures belonging to this dynasty is his great grandmother Madeleine Clamorgan, a literate who had a crucial role in founding many Catholic schools in France in the early 1900s.
Sebastien Clamorgan's great grandmother Madeleine: a noble family
The literate, woman of culture, and intellectual Madeleine was a significant figure within the Clamorgan family, serving as an example of passion towards culture, learning, and teaching. Born in Mayenne (France) in 1880, Madeleine always had a great passion for education, and this talent was clear since she was very young. Her teachers were astonished by her intelligence, and helped her to move to Paris, where she pursued a higher education. In Paris she met Charles Daniélou, who later became her husband. After their marriage, she became Mrs. Daniélou. The contribution of
Sebastien Clamorgan's great grandmother to the foundation of Catholic schools in France is very remarkable, and this is one of the activities for which she is best known. She founded the "Ecole Normale Libre Ms. Daniélou" together with Miss Desrez, and the "Colleges Sainte Marie" in Neuilly sur Seine, a school that gave more than 17,000 students the opportunity to receive education. She personally took care of philosophy classes, organized many conferences and lectures, and wrote many texts about religion, philosophy, and education. Thanks to her commitment, she soon became well known among the men of culture of her time, such as Léonce de Grandmaison, her mentor and spiritual guide, who always stayed by her side until her death in 1927.
