Lucile Boulanger had her first viola da gamba lessons at the age of five with Christine Plubeau, before continuing her studies with Ariane Maurette and later with J\u00e9r\u00f4me Hanta\u00ef. After further studies in Paris and Cergy she was accepted for Christophe Coin\u2019s class at the Conservatoire national sup\u00e9rieur de musique et de danse de Paris, where she was awarded a diploma with distinction in 2009.
