Nicole de Buron (12 January 1929 – 11 December 2019) was a French writer.

Biography

Born on 12 January 1929 in Tunis, de Buron first worked for the magazine Marie Claire before she began writing novels. She was the mother of two daughters.

Her 1958 novel Les Pieds sur le bureau won the Prix Courteline. She won the prix du Livre de l'été with the novel Qui c'est, ce garçon ? and the Grand Prize for Humor with Arrête ton cinema!. In the mid-1990s, de Buron left her longtime publisher, Groupe Flammarion, to join Plon. In 2003, she became the 3rd best-selling French novel writer. She began operating an agricultural domain in Castelreng, near Limoux in 2014. For this, she won a medal from the Order of Agricultural Merit.

Most of de Buron's works were autobiographical humorous stories. She also often engaged in self-mockery.

De Buron largely wrote the script of the TV show Les Saintes chéries, an adaptation of two of her novels. She was also the screenwriter of six comedy films, including Take It From the Top, Erotissimo, and Elle court, elle court la banlieue. She generally helped with adaptation and dialogue in films based on her novels.
