context_section_description: Hélène Vitivilia was a Greek from Constantinople. She studied in the faculty of history at the Sorbonne in Paris and graduated in 1909. It was likely there that she met her future husband, Jean Victor Charles Edmond Leune, who graduated from the same faculty in 1912. On 7 February 1911, Vitivilia married Leune in Paris, at the townhall of the 16e arrondissement in Paris.
  Hélène was an intrepid traveler throughout her life. For example, she visited Athens and Kérassunde (Giresun), Turkey in 1911.
