Eugénie Blanchard, French super-centenarian (died 2010)

French supercentenarians are citizens, residents or emigrants from France who have attained or surpassed 110 years of age. As of January 2015, the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) had validated the longevity claims of 161 French supercentenarians. France was home to the oldest human being ever whose longevity is well documented, Jeanne Calment, who lived in Arles for her entire life of 122 years and 164 days. The oldest verified Frenchman ever is Georges Thomas (1911–2024), who lived for 112 years and 195 days.
