Jacques Jasmine
Jacques or Jacquou Jasmin (* as Jacques Boé March 6, 1798 in Agen , † October 4, 1864 in Agen) was an Occitan poet.
Jasmin was a hairdresser and continued to practice this craft even after he had made a name for himself through his poetic productions and even after his appointment as Knight of the Legion of Honor and his coronation as Maître ès jeux floraux (with 5000 francs honorary salary) by the Académie française .
He performed his poems in the Occitan language with great talent for miming, and they met with great applause in the first cities, including in Paris at the imperial court. Above all, he succeeded in creating a half-touching, half-joking epic, and a popularly friendly and childishly cheerful nature gave his poetry a great charm.
