Reclus family

The Reclus family includes the children and extended family of pastor Jacques Reclus (1796–1882) and teacher Zéline Reclus (1805–1887). The Reclus family's notoriety is primarily the result of Jacques and Zéline's five sons: Élie, Élisée, Paul, Armand, and Onésime. The family became known for their distinctive careers in geography, anarchism, journalism, medicine, and other fields during the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Reclus family originated in Le Fleix, a village 5km from Sainte-Foy-la-Grande. The family included landowners, coopers, and educated persons. The family was part of France's Protestant minority.
