The Dark Secrets of Evil Abbe Bruneau

News of the Times Episode 246 | 1894 Evil Abbe Bruneau – a name still remembered in France!  In 1894, in a village located in Brittany, an abbe of the local church is found dead in a well, severely battered.  It would appear that logs had been thrown on top of him once he was in the well. What unfolds is a tale of debauchery, arson, scandal, forgery, and a few horrific murders as well.  The tale of Abbe Bruneau’s crimes would be considered salacious by most standards.  We take a look at the man and the crimes of Abbe Bruneau in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

 Hosted by Robin Coles.

Clap de fin pour Crimes parfaits. Lancée en 2017, la série policière de France 3 s'arrête ce mardi 21 février avec la diffusion des deux derniers épisodes inédits encore en stock, qui mettent en scène le duo Isabelle Gélinas et Arthur Mazet.

Dans ces deux nouvelles enquêtes de 52 minutes chacune, intitulées "Le Pied à l'étrier" et "D'une pierre deux coups", les flics Agnès et Thibaud vont devoir essayer d'y voir clair dans les meurtres d'un champion de sport équestre et d'un gynécologue-obstétricien directeur d’une clinique très prisée.

Côté guests, les téléspectateurs retrouveront Charlie Bruneau (En Famille) dans le premier épisode de la soirée, et Anne Charrier (Syndrome E) dans le second, qui referment ainsi la longue liste d'invités ayant incarné les ingénieux meurtriers de Crimes parfaits, prêts à tout pour ne pas se faire démasquer, au cours des 32 épisodes de la série.

Puisque chaque enquête repose sur un meurtrier, connu dès le début de l'épisode à la manière de Columbo, qui pense avoir commis le crime parfait.

Au fil des ans, cinq duos d'enquêteurs se sont partagés les épisodes de la série, en alternance : Isabelle Gélinas et Arthur Mazet, Antoine Duléry et Elisa Ruschke, Philippe Caroit et Garance Thénault, Julie Ferrier et Wendy Nieto, et Isabel Otero et Hubert Roulleau.

Et c'est justement cette abondance de héros qui, à en croire les déclarations d'Anne Holmes à notre micro, a en partie causé l'arrêt de Crimes parfaits, qui rejoint ainsi Police de caractères, Prière d'enquêter et la collection Crime à… avec Florence Pernel et Lola Dewaere au rang des fictions policières auxquelles France 3 a décidé de mettre un terme.

"Il y en a eu beaucoup", nous avouait Anne Holmes, la directrice des programmes et directrice de la fiction de France Télévisions, en septembre dernier en faisant référence au grand nombre d'épisodes de Crimes parfaits.

"Sur cette série j'ai un peu un regret : parce que ça marchait bien, on a repris les mêmes duos d'enquêteurs à chaque fois. Donc on avait en fait quatre séries : la série avec Philippe Caroit, la série avec Isabelle Gélinas, la série avec Julie Ferrier, … Et à un moment donné, je pense qu'il y a eu trop de duos. On n’avait plus forcément la place pour toutes ces versions de la même série".

Joli succès sur France 3, Crimes parfaits, qui réunissait encore 5,2 millions de téléspectateurs lors de sa dernière diffusion en décembre 2021, ne s'arrête donc pas en raison de scores décevants, mais plutôt dans une optique de renouveler l'offre de fictions policières de France Télévisions. Anne Holmes ajourant : "Si on veut lancer des pilotes, il faut arrêter certaines fictions".

Après la diffusion de A l'instinct début février, pensé comme un pilote ayant vocation à potentiellement devenir une série, France Télévisions possède également en stock un autre pilote, Les François, porté par Samuel Labarthe et Sylvie Testud. Tandis que Simon Coleman, Poulets grillés et Les Pennac reviendront prochainement pour de nouveaux épisodes en raison de leur succès.

Bref, malgré l'arrêt de Crimes parfaits ou de Prière d'enquêter, les amateurs de fictions policières auront de quoi faire sur France 2 et sur France 3 dans les mois à venir. D'autant plus que Capitaine Marleau, Astrid et Raphaëlle, César Wagner ou Alex Hugo continuent de plus belle.

The thing is that Victor Hugo's Les Miserables Vol. I, Book Third, Chapter I - 'The Year 1817', may be the best piece of history writing every published.

You could get a masters degree just in trying to learn about every person and event he lists off, and yet even utterly lost in the references, it sings. It's written in the most fascinating tense, a strangely present past that gives it this rolling, living energy. The breadth of detail could overwhelm, nearly does, if he didn't deliver it all with this concise, dancing deftness of phrasing that is often so funny, always so human.

All my notes from Book III are just from this chapter and are all variously verbal exclamations over the quality of the writing I was reading. Here are several of these sections:

---

"In 1817 Pelligrini sang; Mademoiselle Bigottini danced; Potier reigned; Odry did not yet exist. Madame Saqui had succeeded to Forioso. There were still Prussians in France.

...

In 1817, in the side alleys of [the] Champ des Mars, two great cylinders of wood might have been seen lying in the rain, rotting amid the grass, painted blue, with traces of eagles and bees, from which the gilding was falling. These were the columns, which two years before had upheld the Emperor’s platform in the Champ de Mai. They were blackened here and there with the scorches of the bivouac of Austrians encamped near Gros-Caillou. Two or three of these columns had disappeared into these bivouac fires, and had warmed the large hands of the Imperial troops. The Field of May had this remarkable point: that it had been held in the month of June and in the Field of March. In this year, 1817, two things were popular: the Voltaire-Touquet and the snuffbox a la Charter. The most recent Parisian sensation was the crime of Dautun, who had thrown his brother’s head into the fountain of the Flower Market.

...

The palace of Thermes, in the Rue de La Harpe, served as a shop for a cooper. On the platform of the octagonal tower of the Hotel de Cluny, the little shed of boards, which had served as an observatory to Messier, the naval astronomer under Louis XVI, was still to be seen. The Duchesse de Duras read to three or four friends her unpublished Ourika, in her boudoir furnished by X in sky-blue satin. The N’s were scratched off the Louvre. The bridge of Austerlitz had abdicated, and was entitled the bridge of the King’s Garden, a double enigma, which disguised the bridge of Austerlitz and the Jardin des Plantes at one stroke. Louis XVIII, much preoccupied while annotating Horace with the corner of his fingernail, heroes who have become emperors, and makers of wooden shoes who have become dauphins, had two anxieties—Napoleon and Mathurin Bruneau.

...

L’Epingle Noir was already plotting in his own quarter. Delaverderie was conferring with Trogoff. M. Decazes, who was liberal to a degree, reigned. Chateaubriand stood every morning at his window at No. 27 Rue Saint-Dominique, clad in footed trousers, and slippers, with a madras kerchief knotted over his gray hair, with his eyes fixed on a mirror, a complete set of dentist’s instruments spread out before him, cleaning his teeth, which were charming, while he dictated the monarchy according to the Charter to M. Pillage, his secretary. Criticism, assuming an authoritative tone, preferred Lafon to Talma. M. de Feletez signed himself A.; M. Hoffman signed himself Z. Charles Nodier wrote Therese Aubert. Divorce was abolished. Lyceums called themselves colleges. The collegians, decorated on the collar with a golden fleur-de-lis, fought each other apropos of the King of Rome. The counter-police of the chateau had denounced to her Royal Highness Madame, the portrait, everywhere exhibited, of M. the Duc d’Orleans, who made a better appearance in his uniform of a colonel-general of hussars than M. the Duc de Berri, in his uniform of a colonel-general of dragoons—a serious inconvenience.

...

The quarrel over the valley of Dappes was begun between Switzerland and France by a memoir from Captain, afterward General Dufour. Saint-Simon, ignored, was erecting his sublime dream. There was a celebrated Fourier at the Academy of Science, whom posterity has forgotten; and in some garret an obscure Fourier, whom the future will recall. Lord Byron was beginning to make his mark; a note to a poem by Millevoye introduced him to France in these terms: a certain Lord Baron. David d’Angers was trying to work in marble.

...

M. Francois de Neufchateau, the praiseworthy cultivar of the memory of Parmentier, made a thousand efforts to have pomme de terre, pronounced “parmentier,” and succeeded therein not at all. The Abbé Gregoire, ex-bishop, ex-conventionary, ex-senator, had passed, in the royalist polemics, to the state of “Infamous Gregoire.” The locution of which we have made use—passed to the state of—has been condemned as a neologism by M. Royer Collard. Under the third arch of the Pont de Jena, the new stone with which, the two years previously, the mining aperture made by Blucher to blow up the bridge had been stopped up, was still recognizable on account of its whiteness."

The rest introduces young Fantine and her friends in a lushly besotted portrait of Romance and betrayal and it simply cannot compare to 'The Year 1817'; the fourth book is 12 pages.

  Hector Dufranne (25 October 1870 – 4 May 1951) was a Belgian operatic bass-baritone who enjoyed a long career that took him to opera houses throughout Europe and the United States for more than four decades. Admired for both his singing and his acting, Dufranne appeared in a large number of world premieres, most notably the role Golaud in the original Opéra-Comique production of Claude Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande at the Salle Favart in Paris in 1902, which he went on to sing 120 times at that house. He had an excellent singing technique which maintained the quality of his voice even into the latter part of his career. His wide vocal range and rich resonant voice enabled him to sing a variety of roles which encompassed French, German, and Italian opera.  He studied at the Brussels Conservatory with Désiré Demest before making his professional opera debut in 1896 at La Monnaie as Valentin in Charles Gounod's Faust. He returned to that opera house several times to sing such roles as Grymping  in Vincent d'Indy's Fervaal (1897), Alberich in Richard Wagner's Das Rheingold (1898), Thomas in Jan Blockx's Thyl Uylenspiegel (1900), Thoas in Christoph Willibald Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride (1902), the Innkeeper in Engelbert Humperdinck's Königskinder (1912), and Rocco in Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari's I gioielli della Madonna (1913). Dufranne sang at the Opéra-Comique in Paris from 1900 to 1912, making his first appearance as Thoas. He appeared in several world premieres with the company including creating the roles of Saluces in Griselidis (1901), the title role in Alfred Bruneau's L' Ouragan (1901), Golaud in Pelléas et Mélisande (1902), Amaury-Ganelon in La Fille de Roland by Henri Rabaud (1904), Koebi in Gustave Doret's Les Armaillis (1906), the title role in Xavier Leroux's Le Chemineau, Clavaroche in Fortunio by André Messager (1907), the fiancé in Raoul Laparra's La Habanéra (1908), and Don Iñigo Gomez in Maurice Ravel's L'Heure espagnole (1911). He also sang Scarpia in the Opéra-Comique’s first production of Giacomo Puccini's Tosca (1909). Dufranne also appeared periodically at the Paris Opera beginning in 1907. He notably portrayed the role of John the Baptist in their first production of Richard Strauss's Salome (1910). He also sang at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo in 1907 where he took part in the creation of two world premieres, the role of André Thorel in Jules Massenet's Thérèse and the title role in Bruneau's Naïs Micoulin. In 1914 he sang the role of Golaud in his only appearance at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden in London. In 1908 Dufranne we nt to the United States for the first time to sing with the Manhattan Opera Company in the American premiere of Pelléas et Mélisande. He returned for several more productions through 1910, appearing as le Prieur in Le jongleur de Notre-Dame (1909), Caoudal in Sapho (1909), Rabo in Jan Blockx's Herbergprinses (performed in Italian as La Princesse d'Auberge, 1909), John the Baptist in Richard Strauss's Salome (1910), and Saluces in Massenet's Griselidis (1910). He also sang with the Chicago Grand Opera Company and the Chicago Opera Association from 1910 to 1922, creating there Léandre in The Love for Three Oranges (in French) by Sergei Prokofiev, in 1921.  In 1922, Dufranne returned to Paris where he continued to appear in operas in all the major houses in addition to appearing in other opera houses in France. He also spent a brief time performing in Amsterdam in 1935. In 1923 he created the part of Don Quixote in the stage première of El retablo de maese Pedro under the baton of the composer, Manuel de Falla. The performance was for a private audience and was held in the private theatre of Winnaretta Singer, Princess Edmond de Polignac; he repeated the role in a Falla triple-bill at the Opéra-Comique in 1928. In 1924, he appeared at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in the world premiere of Léon Sachs's Les Burgraves. With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, Dufranne retired from the stage, with his last performance being the role of Golaud at the opera house in Vichy. He lived in Paris where he taught singing for many years before his death in 1951.

“I LOVE MY LIFE AS A WOMAN, A GIRLFRIEND AND A MOTHER” - Evelyne Brochu

Via Échos Vedettes, March 12, 2020, Victor-Léon Cardinal

Juggling between television, cinema and music, Evelyne Brochu does not sulk about her pleasure of playing in the theatre. Playing the role of Macha in Anton Chekhov's play Les 3 Sœurs, directed by René Richard Cyr, the artist lifts the veil on her projects and confides in her family life.

Evelyne Brochu returns to the theatre with great pleasure, this time in Les 3 Sœurs with Noémie Godin-Vigneau, Rebecca Vachon, Guillaume Cyr, Éric Bruneau and Benoît McGinnis, among others. This play tells the story of three sisters who, a year after the death of their father, have the unbearable desire to leave rural Russia to return to Moscow, where they lived a golden youth. “Chekhov is such a strong writer that he can support the visions of various directors. For this production, René Richard Cyr has drawn inspiration from various French translations of the same play, to make a streamlined version of 1 hour 35 minutes, without intermission. It's very enjoyable to play. Plus, I feel confident with my acting partners.”

A MEMORABLE SHOOTING IN PARIS

On the television side, in January Evelyne Brochu finished filming the historical crime fiction Paris Police 1900, which will be released in France during Canal+'s next autumn-winter season. The actress plays the role of Marguerite Steinheil, who in 1899 was the mistress of French President Félix Faure, who died while making love to her. “The author of the series has taken this historical character and turned her into a spy whose primary objective is to infiltrate anti-Semitic groups. It was very exciting to play that. And I'm really looking forward to a second season.”

The actress also got a taste of Parisian life. “Last summer I went there with my mother, my husband and my son, Laurier (born in October 2018). I was able to live my family life in Paris. We were settled in the Marais district and we really sorted things out.”

LET'S GET THE MUSIC GOING!

Moreover, after releasing her debut album, Objets perdus, last autumn, written and composed by her friend Félix Dyotte, Evelyne Brochu is planning to perform her songs live on stage as early as April. “Félix and I are in the process of building a show around this album. The actor Mani Soleymanlou will be my director. I want people to experience a magical moment when they come and see me on stage. All my tour dates are posted on my Facebook page Evelyne Brochu - Musique.” The singer, who already has new songs in her drawers, leaves the door wide open to the possibility of recording a second album.

A HAVEN OF HAPPINESS AND LOVE

On a personal level, Evelyne Brochu has been giving her perfect love to her lover, Nicolas Schirmer, who is a doctor, for the past three years. “I love my life as a woman, as a girlfriend and as a mother. I consider that I have found a beautiful balance in my life, because I only do things that I am passionate about. My husband is very present. Even though we both have jobs that give us a lot of adrenaline, we've managed to create a haven of happiness and love at home.”

The actress would also like to have other children and one day marry the one she loves. “It's in our plans. When I speak of him, I already say my husband. For me, there's no doubt that he's the man of my life." Having found her happiness in Quebec, the actress declares she has no intention to move abroad. "I like to travel for work, but I don't intend to move anywhere else. My roots are here.”

Excerpt from this story from EcoWatch:

Protestors filled the streets of Mauritius's capital city, Port Louis, over the weekend to demand resignations of officials and an investigation into the oil spill that has jeopardized the future health of the country's marine reserves, according to Reuters. The protests were catalyzed by more than a dozen dead dolphins with traces of oil washing up on Mauritian beaches.

After the initial wave of dead dolphins, the government revised the number of dead whales and dolphins, bringing the total up to 39, according to Forbes.

Roughly 100,000 people filled the streets on Saturday, according to The Independent, marking it the largest protest the island nation has seen in 40 years. On Saturday, the protestors were dressed in black and held drawings of dolphins and signs saying, "citizens wake up citizens." Others held signs that said, "Dolphin Lives Matter."

The demand for the march came from an ordinary citizen, Jean Bruneau Laurette, a maritime security expert who has taken a strong stance against the country's prime minister. Laurette has insisted that the government is hiding information about the oil spill and has filed a case in court against the country's environmental ministry, according to Agence-France Presse (AFP).

Some in the peaceful protest called for the government to step down. They wore t-shirts that read, "I love my country. I'm ashamed of my country," according to the BBC.
