Geneviève De Fer was the wife of Antoine de Fer and mother of Nicolas De Fer.

Genevieve took over the map published business of Antoine de Fer, following his death in June 1673. 

She passed it and the atelier then located at Quai de L'Horloge, to Nicolas in 1687. Nicolas grew the firm to one of the largest and most successful of the Parisian mapsellers and printers by the early 18th Century, producing town plans, atlases, wall maps, and more than 600 sheet maps.

 De Fer became the official geographer for The King of Spain in 1720. Two of his sons-in-law, Guillaume Danet and Jaques-François Bénard, continued the company after de Fer's death on October 25, 1720 until about 1760.
