Question:

What is this woman's name?

In 7thor 8th grade my French teacher told me of a woman that lived in France and was like a queen or lady or something (somebody of importance). She apparently assembled a team of scientists and such and got them to create a sort of an anti-aging ..... thin. I don't know if it was a cream or potion or serum but anyway, there are recorded documents of people who grew up in the town/village and left and came back years later to find she hadn't aged. I don't remember her name though.

Can you help?

She was famous for drinking the water from a fountain that allegedly kept her young. If you read French, there is a description there:
