Léon Barracand
Léon Henri Barracand (born May 2, 1840 in Romans-sur-Isère , Département Drôme , † November 4, 1919 ) was a French writer.
Barracand used the pseudonym "Léon Grandet" for some of his literary works . He was friends with Catulle Mendès and Auguste de Villiers de L'Isle Adam and thus came together with other Parnassians .
Alphonse Lemerre also included some poems in the later famous anthology Le Parnasse contemporain . Today Barracand is part of this literary association.
Barracand took part in the Franco-German War . After the end of the war he worked for some time in administration and between 1874 and 1876 he held the office of mayor in his hometown.
