Overview

Veterinary surgeon William Chaminade is having a peaceful holiday in the South of France when he is witness to an event that will change not only his life but the destiny of France!

All is well until this innovative ’pleasure centre’ draws the attention of an over-zealous tax inspector, Dupuis...
