14/04/1970: Mag: Les Paysans - 2ème Partie: la Vie d’un Propriétaire Terrien Patriarche dans l’Allié

A portrait of a large landowning family in the Allier region, the DESSERFs, highlighting their strongly patriarchal nature. The father, a cattle breeder (350 hectares), refuses to retire and relinquish his authority. His sons-in-law have become their father-in-law's tenant farmers. His son, Jean-Paul, a farmhand for his father, has only recently started his own business by renting two farms totaling 100 hectares. One of the DESSERF daughters refused an arranged marriage and decided to remain single, assisting her father. The farm buildings are part of the family, passing from the father's service to that of the sons. CAF89004364
