* Mathilde Carré, a French resistance agent who turned for the Germans.

Mathilde Carré ( 19 February 1910 – 1970 ), known as " La Chatte ", was a French Resistance agent during World War II who turned double agent.

After her marriage, she moved to Algeria with her husband Maurice Carré, who was later killed in World War II, during the campaign of Italy.

When he confronted Carré, who had become his mistress, she confessed and together they planned to outwit the Abwehr.

He disabled the Franco-Polish " Interallié " network, and captured both Polish Air Force Captain Roman Czerniawski and some of his headquarters staff, one of whom was Mathilde Carré, who had contacts with the Vichy 2nd Bureau.

Le Carré describes him as a somewhat short and fat man, who always wears expensive but badly fitting clothes ( he " dressed like a bookie ").

More commonly, it was rumoured that le Carré modelled the character on Sir Maurice Oldfield, a former head of British Intelligence, who physically resembled Smiley.

Oldfield himself believed that, although Green probably inspired le Carré, the character of Smiley was primarily based on John Bingham, 7th Baron Clanmorris, who had been le Carré's boss when he originally joined MI5, prior to his career in MI6.

In 1999, le Carré confirmed that Bingham was also an inspiration for Smiley, and in 2000 went further, writing in an introduction to a reissue of one of Bingham's novels that " He had been one of two men who had gone into the making of George Smiley.

Less noted is his published call in 1749 for the roofing-over of Perrault's classical colonnaded east front of the Palais du Louvre and the clearing away of the ramshackle structures, both those that had been built against it, in order to form a proper Place du Louvre, and those in the centre of the Cour Carré itself Sections of the palace were in danger of collapse, scarcely touched by royal indifference after 1678 ; work did begin in 1755 to clear the facade of the Louvre, overseen by the architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot and Marigny, supervisor of the Bâtiments du Roi.

Debussy was at first reluctant to comply with Carré but when he heard Garden sing, he was so impressed that he later recalled: " That was the gentle voice that I had heard in my inmost being, with its hesitantly tender and captivating charm, such that I had barely dared to hope for.
