Jeanne Flore was the author, or the pseudonym for a group of authors, of the Contes amoureux, a collection of seven tales published in Lyon in the early 1540s.[1][2]

Though there is no consensus about the identity of Jeanne Flore, recent research has suggested that Étienne Dolet and Clément Marot may have been among several writers of the tales.[1]
