Hugues Aufray

Early life

Aufray was born to Henry Auffray, an industrialist, and Amyelle de Caubios d'Andiran (1898–1992), a musician and second cousin of the French author François Mauriac (respectively by their maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother). His sister was actress Pascale Audret (1936–2000) and his niece is actress Julie Dreyfus.

Once Aufray's parents divorced, the family left Paris for Sorèze (Tarn - Occitania), where he was raised by his mother. During the war, in 1941-1945 he studied at the Dominican College in Sorèze.
