Early life edit

Françon was born on rue de Littré in the 6th arrondissement of Paris on 15 June 1913.[1] His father was related to the Edouard Herriot's family and worked as an Chemical Engineer at the Physical Research Laboratory of the Sorbonne managed by Gabriel Lippmann, then founded an automobile company.[citation needed]

Françon graduated with a licence ès sciences physiques from the Faculté des Sciences de Paris [fr]. In 1937, he enters in SupOptique en graduate as an Engineer a year later. During World War II, he was sent to the North of France, finding himself at Dunkerque and escaping to England on a civilian ship on 2 June 1940.[1]

He got hired at the SupOptique's Laboratory which moved at Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer. His studies were mainly related to physiological optics. After the invasion in the free zone, Maurice Françon came back to the Boulevard Pasteur and began to write a thesis titled Vision in an instrument tainted with spherical aberration (in french: Vision dans un instrument entaché d'aberration sphérique)[2] under the supervision of Pierre Fleury [fr][1] that he submit in 1945 at the Sorbonne before a jury chaired by Charles Fabry. He became the head of the Science faculty's work and in charge of practical work at the Institut d'optique Graduate School with André Maréchal.[citation needed]
