Mauregard is a French six-part television series by Claude de Givray from 1970 with Richard Leduc , Claude Jade , Brigitte Auber , Michel Subor , Marc di Napoli .

The family epic stretches over 120 years from 1849 to 1969: four generations in Mauregard Castle.

Everything begins with the return of the nobleman Hippolyte de Mettray (Jacques Berthier), who was believed dead, to his wife Anne-Marie (Gaby Sylvia). She is engaged to the country doctor Martin (John Rico). But the repentant adventurer Hippolyte wins Anne-Marie back. At the same time he buys back the castle of his ancestors, Mauregard.

Twenty years later, Hippolyte wants to marry his son Maxence (Richard Leduc) to Hélène (Annick Korrigan), the wealthy daughter of the neighboring Marquis. But Maxence, in love with the orphan Françoise (Claude Jade), refuses the money marriage, which Mauregard in particular should receive. Françoise and Maxence are supported in their fight by Hélène of all people.

Another twenty years later - Hippolyte died without leaving a will - Maxence (now: Henri Guisol) and Françoise (now: Brigitte Auber) can hardly keep the castle.

Another generation later, Maxence's nephew Charles-Auguste (Michel Subor) returns from the First World War . Two women - Agnès (Anne Vernon) and Elise (Marie-Blanche Vergnes) - scramble for him.

Clément (Marc di Napoli), the son of Charles-Auguste and Elise, fought for the Resistance against the Germans during World War II.

In the last part, Clément (now: Jacques Destoop) returns with the young Carol (Jacky Gee) from Canada to the shabby Mauregard.

background

Claude de Givray and Bernard Revon , the authors of the saga, were also François Truffaut's co-authors of Kisses Robbed (1968) and Table and Bed (1970). The leading actress in both films, Claude Jade , was shooting six months in the United States with Alfred Hitchcock Topas . When she was not shooting, she took on the role of the orphan Françoise in her familiar "film family". Her Topas husband Michel Subor also returned to France in the meantime and played Charles-Auguste. The film was shot in Touraine . While filming "Mauregard", Truffaut proposed to Claude Jade on location in the Touraine.
