It was during one of his business trips to see a member
of the Bourvil family in the south of France that Maurice Dufresne discovered
the glider from the film "La Grande Vadrouille".
From the moment he saw this magnificent bright red glider, autographed by Bourvil and De Funès but abandoned in a warehouse along with old taxis and ambulances, Maurice Dufresne didn't cease to try to acquire it for his museum. Of course, at that time the owner didn't want to part with it. Maurice Dufresne was tenacious and he regularly contacted the owner, persuaded that in time he would give in. This was the case 20 years after their first meeting. |
The glider hangs in the Big Bull hall of the museum in Marnay
where visitors marvel at this object which today is an integral part of
the history of the French cinema. |
