Ousted by the town hall from the management of the Château de la Buzine in Marseille, Nicolas Pagnol announced this Thursday that he is taking over all the assets linked to Marcel Pagnol, his grandfather. The grandson surrounded by his lawyers will also file a complaint for insults and defamation once morest several elected officials from the city of Marseille: mayor Benoît Payan and five of his deputies.
After five years of management of “My Mother’s Castle”, Nicolas Pagnol was dismissed by the municipal majority of Marseille. First, the town hall had chosen a delegate, but following contesting the allocation procedure, it decided to manage the site itself, which attracts 80,000 people per year, while offering the heir to participate.
He removes any object belonging to the family, and prohibits any exploitation of Pagnol’s image
Nicolas Pagnol must leave the premises this Sunday September 17 and the least we can say is that he doesn’t tiptoe off. “I am going to withdraw everything that belongs to me and that belongs to the Pagnol endowment fund. That is to say the bust of Marcel, posters, photos, etc.… and then any right of exploitation and representation of the work or the name “Pagnol”. Given that the mayor declared in July on France Info that the Château de la Buzine was not “my mother’s Château” and that it was a hoax, and therefore roughly speaking that Marcel Pagnol was a hoaxer, I do not I don’t see why Pagnol would stay at Buzine under this mandate.
Nicolas Pagnol specifies in fact that he prohibits the City of Marseille “to communicate using titles of works or names of Marcel Pagnol whether for tourism or culture”.
Marseille deprived of Pagnol?
When it is pointed out to the descendant of Marius’s brilliant sire that he is depriving Marseille of Pagnol, he retorts that it was not he who decided on such a situation. “It was the mayor who forced me to do so following his shameful remarks.x. I will leave the place with great sadness and regret. I would really like to commemorate the 50th anniversary of my grandfather’s death next year at the Château de la Buzine. It won’t happen. All this will happen in Allauch, Aubagne, La Ciotat and Gémenosmunicipalities that know how to read Pagnol, that respect Pagnol’s work, that respect Pagnol’s heritage and, what’s more, respect the Pagnol family.”
