By the banks of the Loire, Bernard Gainier continues to cultivate his grapevines and to share his wine with friends at the "Bureau", his wine cellar. Now 73, he has always lived alone and adhered to the rural way of life he's always known. Bernard is a guardian of memories of the past, like that about local poet Gaston Couté, spiritual hier to François Villon, who had his moment of glory in Montmartre durin the Belle Époque.
