Simon was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a daughter of the philanthropist Clarisse Simon.[3] She studied music with Théodore Dubois, Paul Vidal, and Charles Tournemire. She married Paul Simon and their daughter Louise Marie (composer Claude Arrieu) was born in 1903.[1] Simon wrote songs, chamber music, orchestral works, film music, and several operas.
