Pauline de Tourzel (1771-1839) was a French noblewoman, courtier and memoir writer. She was the daughter of the Marquise de Tourzel, Louise-Félicité-Joséphine de Croy d'Havré, the last governess of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's children, who later, as Comtesse de Bearn, became a lady-in-waiting to the only survivor of the immediate royal family, Madame Royal, Marie Thérèse.
Pauline was present during the final traumatic months of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, observer to the French Revolution and survived to see their daughter return twice during the Bourbon Restorations.
