Main Milestones
Birth in Coupvray, France
January 4, 1809
Louis Braille was born in Coupvray, a small town near Paris, France, to Simon-René Braille, a leather craftsman, and Monique Baron. He was the youngest of four children. His early childhood was spent in his father's workshop, a place that would unfortunately lead to a life-altering accident.
Accidental Blinding
1812
At the age of three, while playing in his father's workshop, Louis Braille accidentally stabbed himself in the eye with an awl. The injury became infected, and despite medical intervention, the infection spread to his other eye, resulting in complete blindness by the age of five.
