Born at Bourg-en-Bresse, in the département of Ain.

Edgar, who was an only child, was usually alone, but his mother (Eugénie Rozat Lagis, who was an educated person with strong, albeit original, Protestant religious views) exercised great influence over him. ...   Born at Bourg-en-Bresse, in the département of Ain.
