Yvette Gessard-Picard was a Human woman who lived in La Barre, France during the early-24th century. She was the wife of Maurice Picard, the mother of Robert and Jean-Luc Picard, and the paternal grandmother of René Picard. Yvette was deceased by 2364. Jean-Luc affectionately referred to her as "Maman".

While in a distant section of the universe where thoughts become reality, Jean-Luc Picard experienced a brief vision of his mother. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before")

As a child, Captain Picard took piano lessons; though he seemed antipathetic to them, in later life he regretted giving them up, as they pleased his mother. (TNG: "The Perfect Mate")
