Jean Maurice Paul Jules de Noailles
Jean Maurice Paul Jules de Noailles, 6th Duke of Ayen (Paris, 18 September 1893 – Bergen-Belsen, 14 April 1945) was the son of Adrien de Noailles, 8th Duke of Noailles. He married Solange Marie Christine Louise de Labriffe (Amiens, 5 September 1898 – Paris, 3 November 1976) in Paris on 16 June 1919. Together they had two children: He succeeded to the subsidiary title Duke of Ayen, but he and his son Adrien did not outlive his father, the 8th Duke of Noailles. The Dukedom of Noailles therefore passed to a cousin, François, 9th Duke  of Noailles, though the château de Maintenon was inherited by his daughter Geneviève. He was a member of the French Resistance, arrested by the Gestapo on 22 January 1942 as a result of an anonymous denunciation. He was tortured and interned at the Paris Gestapo headquarters on Avenue Foch and then in Compiègne, and then deported successively to Buchenwald, Flossenburg, Oranienburg, and finally Bergen-Belsen, where he died a few days before the end of the war. In October 1945, the Cannes municipal council decided to rename Avenue Bellevue to Avenue Jean de Noailles. Jean Maurice Paul Jules de Noailles
