Biography
Georges Borgeaud studied at Collège d'Aubonne and Collège de Saint-Maurice, where he met Maurice Chappaz and Jean Cuttat. His novel The Préau (1952), partly autobiographical, also described this period of his life. He gave private lessons, and worked as a bookseller in Zurich and Fribourg.
