Joseph Jules le Chanoine du Manoir de
Juaye, who emigrated to Canada from
France.
Family ancestors played interesting and
influential roles in French history. One
of Allan’s ancestors, Baron Pierre-Paul
Riquet de Bonrepos, was responsible in
the second half of the 17th century for
building the Canal du Midi which links the
Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean
Sea. Another ancestor, Count Jean-Louis
le Chanoine du Manoir de Juaye, escaped
France to avoid being imprisoned during
the French revolution and ended up in the
then-Republic of Weimar where he taught
French to Goethe’s children.
Allan du Manoir de Juaye studied
linguistics and speaks four languages.
He lives in both Canada and the south
of France.view less
