Daughter of the dancer and ballet master François-Jacques Lefèbvre. She came to Paris when she was eight years old and in 1769 she married the actor Jean-Henri Fourgaud, who was known as Dugazon. In 1769 she debuted as a soprano in Dalayrac's opera "Lucile" and she became a star at the Comédie Italienne. Although she soon divorced Dugazon, they continued to perform together for twenty years at the Comédie Italienne. She was especially praised for her performance as Nina in Dalayrac's "Nina, ou la folle par amour" (1786).
