Pierre Véron (1833 – 1900) was a French writer, journalist, and librettist. In 1854 he published his first book, a volume of verse, and went on to write for and edit many prominent journals of the day. In the latter part of the 19th century he served as the editor-in-chief of both ''Le Charivari'' and ''Journal Amusant''.〔Bernard, Jean-Pierre Arthur (2001). (''Les deux Paris: les représentations de Paris dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle'' ), p. 178. Editions Champ Vallon 〕 He was the author of numerous fiction and non-fiction books chronicling and often satirizing the social mores of Parisian life. For many years his rooms in the Rue de Rivoli were the gathering place of French literary, artistic and political figures.〔Chisholm, Hugh (ed.) (1911). "Véron, Pierre", (''Encyclopaedia Britannica'' ) (11th edition), Vo. XXVII, p. 1033〕 Véron had a keen interest in the theatre, both as a critic and as a playwright. He was the librettist for three works by Robert Planquette and was the co-author (with Edmond Gondinet) of several plays, including ''Les Affolés'', a four-act comedy which premiered at the Théâtre du Vaudeville in 1883. Véron died in Paris, the city of his birth, at the age of 67. He is buried in Montparnasse Cemetery in a grave marked with a bronze portrait bust by Jean Gautherin.〔''Grand Larousse encyclopédique'' (1964). "Véron (Pierre)", Vol 10, p. 757.
