The poet and painter Max Jacob first came to Saint-Benoit in 1921, and stayed there off and on until 1937, when he settled down permanently, living the life of a monk (early daily Mass, stations of the Cross, evening prayer in the basilica) and working as a church guide.
Notable cubist poets include: Max Jacob, Guillaume Apollinaire, Andre Salmon and others.
A more radical fault occurs when Baldassari asserts that Max Jacob was interned by the Vichy authorities in the prison camp at Drancy and died in Buchenwald, in Germany.
