Novelist Irène Némirovsky, a best-selling author in 1930s France but forgotten after the Second World War, is the only writer to be awarded the Prix Renaudot posthumously in 2004 for her unfinished novel Suite Française. She spent two years in Issy-l?Évêque between 1940 and 1942, before being deported to Auschwitz, and left her mark on the village with two manuscripts written on the spot, Suite Française and Chaleur du sang. A path is dedicated to her memory, one in the village, marked in red (580m), the other in blue (8 km) through the countryside where the author liked to go to write. The trail is lined with information panels featuring excerpts from the author's works and historical notes.
