Simone Breton, born Kahn, was the first wife of André Breton, they married on September 15 1921.

Théodore Fraenkel introduced the couple.

After her divorce from Breton in 1928 she remained on cordial terms with Raymond Queneau, although Breton usually demanded that his followers ostracize his former girlfriends.

Her correspondence with Denise Lévy was published by Joëlle Losfeld ISBN 2070789594.

She was photographed by Man Ray in Simone Kahn with Vanuatu Figure.

On Robert Desnos:

"Desnos apporte, endormi, un ton de prophète qui énonce dans un style mystérieux, symbolique, des choses mieux que la vérité si elles ne sont pas la vérité. [...] Ce n'est pas une femme nerveuse qui parle, mais un poète imprégné de tout ce que nous aimons et croyons s'approcher du fin mot de la vie." (lettre à Denise Lévy)
