Hortense Clémentine Tanvet was born in Mésanger on 19 November 1880 and died in Nantes on 13 February 1981. In 1901 she enrolled at the Nantes École des Beaux-Arts and later continued his studies in Paris.

Tanvet's recorded works are:

Monument to Léon Séché

This monument is located in Ancenis in the boulevard Léon-Séché and dates to 1925. It was in 1922 that Charles Le Goffic headed a committee to organise a monument in Ancenis to honour Léon Séché and Hortense Tanvet was commissioned to execute the sculptural content involved. The work was in bronze and in 1942, during the German occupation, it was requisitioned and melted down so that the metal could be re-used. In 1957 the sculpture was renewed and placed in its present location. The inscription reads Шаблон:Quotation
