Although, to the best of my knowledge, Hercule-Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac never lived in Bergerac it is claimed he was the son of Abel de Cyrano, lord of Mauvieres and Bergerac and as he was a famous French dramatist and duelist Bergerac has claimed him and erected a statue in the old part of the town . In fictional works about his life he is featured with an overly large nose, which people would travel from miles around to see. Portraits suggest that he did have a big nose, though not nearly as large as described in works about him. Cyrano’s work furnished models and ideas for subsequent writers.
