List of Famous people with last name Grevy

François Judith Paul Grévy was President of France from 1879 to 1887, and one of the leaders of the Opportunist Republican faction. Given that his predecessors were monarchists who tried without success to restore the French monarchy, Grévy is seen as the first real republican President of France.

Jules Philippe Louis Albert Grévy was a French lawyer and politician. He represented Doubs in the National Assembly and then the Chamber of Deputies from 1871 to 1880. He was Governor-General of Algeria from 1879 to 1881, and a Senator for Life from 1880 until his death in 1899.

Coralie Grévy (1811-1893) was the wife of the President of France Jules Grévy. Coralie Grévy as well as her spouse wished to live a simple life and not burden the finances of the state. She agreed to host three balls a year and continue the charity instated by her predecessor, but saw to it that all representation was so sheep as possible and benefited French work force, such as in the work on the Presidential Palace. In high society, she was mocked and made fun of because of her middle-class background and lack of habit in mixing with the aristocracy, and exposed to social snubs and gossip about her mistakes in this regard.
