Early life and education
Salomé Saqué was born in Seine-et-Marne, the eldest of three children. After she was born, her parents decided to leave the Paris region and she grew up in Ardèche. She went to boarding school in Aubenas.

After taking her baccalauréat, she studied history and geography at the Lycée Édouard-Herriot in Lyon. She then attended Lumière University Lyon 2 to study political science and English. She became interested in the Spanish left wing movement Podemos and joined the Erasmus programme at the Complutense University of Madrid.

At the same time, she took courses in drama at the Regional Conservatory of Lyon and played a number of roles on stage.

Career
Saqué spent three years as an intern for the newspaper Le Monde diplomatique and then France 24.

She has since worked for the website Blast, the television channels LCP, Arte, and France 5, and the radio network France Info.

Her first book, Sois jeune et tais-toi (Be Young and Shut Up) received critical acclaim and was a bestseller on its release. Le Monde said it "paints a nuanced portrait of French youth subjected to ecological and economic crises, while avoiding declaring war on the boomers".
