Hélène Grimaud was born in Aix-en Provence in the south of France (7 November 1969). "My father came from a background of Sephardi Jews in Africa, and my mother's ancestors were Jewish Berbers from Corsica." Her father was adopted as a child by a French family and he became a university tutor teaching languages.[4] According to Luc Antonini the name Grimaud is typical of the region of Trets in Provence. She has stated that, as a child, she was often "agitated".
