Wikipedia has a good bio of Lafayette:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_du_Motier%2C_marquis_de_La_Fayette

He did spend a fair amount of time in the US (visited 5 or 6 times) but it looks like he spent a majority of his life in France.
If they want a specific place in France, that could be harder.
