In 1972 Claude-Denis Renard from Le Mans a great admirer of René Fallet contacted the latter so that he would accept a theatrical adaptation of his novel Au beau rivage published in 1970 and for which he received the Humor Prize. Animated by his usual kindness the writer joyfully accepted forgetting to inquire about the contingencies linked to the exploitation rights of the novel held by the production company Prothea whose reaction was not long in coming. Indeed Mme de Almeida in charge of managing the Fallet file expressed numerous reservations regarding the exploitation of the name ""Au beau rivage."" The play would finally be performed under certain conditions and its title would be transformed to ""Bistro story"" for only six exclusive performances in Le Mans. The collection we offer consists of the following documents: - An autograph letter 17x23.5cm signed and dated 11/04/72 written on Hotel George V letterhead: ""Moi aussi je suis content que toute cette vérole se soit arrangé sic au mieux.

Trouvez moi donc un maillot de coureur taille 4 du club local je fais collection de maillots je viens de ramener de Bruxelles celui de champion de Belgique. Bonne chance pour ""Bistrot story"" marrant 13 à vous R. Fallet"" ""I too am happy that all this mess worked out for the best.
