Truffaut was born in Paris on 6 February 1932, out of wedlock. His mother was Janine de Monferrand, and he never met his biological father, Roland Lévy, a Jewish dentist. His mother's future husband Roland Truffaut accepted him as an adopted son and gave him his surname. He was passed around to live with various nannies and his grandmother for a number of years. It was his grandmother who instilled in him her love of books and music. He lived with his grandmother until her death when Truffaut was ten years old. It was only after his grandmother's death that he lived with his parents for the first time.
