Originally from Val-d'Amour, her parents were Sophie and Jean Lanternier, her father was a hemp carder. In 1932, at the age of 12, she emigrated with her parents to Algeria,[4] the Lanternier family was among the pioneers who settled in the first village created by France, Dély Ibrahim.[5] Four years later, returning from the fields, Jeanne accompanied by her parents and her brother Déziré were captured by Hadjoutes marauders, who handed the family over as hostages to Emir Abdelkader. He offered the teenage girl as a slave to his friend the sultan of Morocco Abd al-Rahman bin Hisham. He in turn offered her to his son Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman.[5]
