Cecil Breau

Cecil Breau was born in Tracadie, New Brunswick, to a French-speaking father and an English-speaking mother. A dentist by profession, he studied at the University de Montréal and later established his practice in Gatineau. He has also taught courses at the Université de Moncton and contributed a newspaper column in L'Acadie Nouvelle.

A lifelong traveller, Breau has explored more than sixty countries, with Italy, especially Rome, holding a lasting place in his imagination. His debut novel, Au-delà de Venise, was inspired by these journeys, yet written in the quiet familiarity of his childhood home, where he still lives.

Au-delà de Venise is available through the publisher Éditions La Grande Marée.
