What inspired this series?

It all happened as if in a movie! I was in Lille finishing another project called Maman a tort when my partner suggested we visit the house where Charles de Gaulle was born. Two days later, a producer phoned me to ask if I wanted to direct a series about the General’s life in the style of The Crown. I still can’t believe it was just a coincidence!
