After spending his youth in Oran, Claude de Fréminville met Camus in preparatory class at Algers during the 1932-1933 school year, before pursuing his university studies in Paris. It was in France that he joined the Communist Party, and encouraged Camus to do the same, which he did the following year. He planned to create with André Belamich and Albert Camus a political-literary magazine, la nouvelle journée, sponsored by Giono, which would be a bridge between Europeans and Muslims. In 1938, he was part of the editorial team of Rivages, which Charlot published and printed. In 1939, during a temporary eclipse of éditions Charlot, he founded with Camus the ephemeral éditions Cafre (CAmus-FREminville) and published a translation of 333 Coplas populaires andalouses.
After the war, he worked as a journalist in Paris, notably as editor at Europe 1 under the name Claude Terrien.
He died in January 1966.
