History : photograph Louise Trouillet studio in Laval:
Daughter of a mole worker, Louise Augustine Marie Béasse was born on July 2, 1882 in Ampoigné (Mayenne). A cook, aged 30, she married François Trouillet (1868-1936) who was a valet on December 28, 1912, in Château-Gontier (Mayenne). The couple had two children, Françis (1915-?) and Paulette (1916-?). In 1921, Louise and her husband were no longer servants but worked for the watchmaker Augustin Guérin: François was a clockmaker; Louise, photographer. Until 1911, the year of their divorce, it was the watchmaker's wife who took portraits. Trained by Augustin Guérin (?), François and Louise Trouillet feel capable of working for themselves. They opened a workshop in Laval.
LAVAL: In 1926, François Trouillet was the patron photographer at Grande rue 76; for Louise, the enumerator wrote “None” in the “Profession” column. It was so much easier to reduce women's work to zero. The couple continued their careers in Laval in a workshop located at 7, rue du Val-de-Mayenne. It is there that François Trouillet died in October 1936. In "Ouest-Eclair" of October 25, 1936 Mrs. widow Trouillet, photographer informs the Laval residents "that she continues as in the past and that she will endeavor to satisfy more in addition to its numerous and loyal customers.

We do not know until when Louise Trouillet took portraits on rue Val-de-Mayenne. It is possible that his son, Francis Trouillet succeeded him in the 1950s. His daughter, Paulette Trouillet, married Maurice Rivière in Laval in 1938. They will both be photographers in Argentan (Orne). It was in this town that Louise Trouillet died in 1977.
