Camille frequented the families Braque and Dufy at Le Havre. A painter when the fancy took her, she followed with great attention the artistic movements including Georges Braque and Raoul Dufy (cubism and fauvism). During a meal, she made the acquaintance of Gaston and Clémence François with whom she became friendly. Clémence disappeared and Gaston was disoriented. She helped him entrust his cabinet to his son and welcomed him to Etretat to the Villa Saint Clair.
