Louis Braille was born on January 4, 1809, in Coupvray, France to his parents, Simon-René and Monique. He was raised alongside three elder siblings – Monique Catherine, Louis-Simon, and Marie Céline.

Louis Braille had been blinded at the age of three in one eye as a result of an accident with a stitching awl in his father’s harness making shop. Following an infection that spread to both eyes, he became completely blind in both eyes by the age of five.
