Jean Lartéguy, a renowned French writer and director, was brought into this world on September 5, 1920, in the charming city of Maisons-Alfort, which is nestled within the picturesque Val-de-Marne region of France.
Throughout his illustrious career, Lartéguy left an indelible mark on the world of literature and film, with his most notable works including the 1966 cinematic masterpiece "Lost Command", the 1961 literary sensation "Le Sahara brûle", and the 1959 theatrical triumph "Ramuntcho".
Tragically, Jean Lartéguy's life came to a close on February 23, 2011, in the City of Light, Paris, France, where he had resided for many years.
