important update on Quotation page and Quotes sent by friends

when I launched the Catherine site, it was more or less all about her and nothing else. But just like time does never stand still, I like to move on. That is why on this site you can also read about Juliette Benzoni's latest books or about the former stars of the series Marianne, Catherine, Le Gerfaut and La Fiora. At the moment we are all in attendance for Juliette's latest book "La collection Kledermann" on my very personal pages Mistral's Library, I have given my own opinion about this attractive and famous hero

To bring a smile to my face, my dear friend Frédérique, like me, in excitement for the next Aldo Morosini ;-) has created the latest GOSSIP Magazine No.9. Awesome and very exclusive!!! Those faithful visitors and friends of ours, know that I enjoy very much Frédérique's humour and whenever she announces a new GOSSIP I am excited like a teenager, to see what she has done this time.

with pleasure I can offer you some "forgotten" articles, found and bought by my dear friend Frédérique. She shares them with pleasure with all of us...
thanks dear and I am sure the english visitors will love the translations of the texts

at the moment I am doing some "Spring-cleaning" on my Catherine website. Some important pages, like the Juliette Benzoni Portrait page, are giving a throughly update! Some facts are known, some might be new to some of you! Please keep in mind, that  the Catherine website has now over six hundred pages and I do this all on my own, in my free time! When I say over six hundred pages, I mean over 1200 pages, since my French website is equal with the English website ! I know that there are still many unfinished pages - this is for me the big motivation to come everyday and see what has to be done! I will be send some great photos by one of the faihtful French visitors and with that we shall finally have our Jacques Coeur history page! It is also again a moment to send a huge embrace to Frédérique for her translations, to my sister LaLuna who is never tired with surprising us with a new creation. To all of you out there, who are sending me your lovely emails or even material. ♥ ♥ ♥ thank you dear friends

you may have asked yourself why Mistral has not updated lately! The explanation is simple: the "grippe" has taken over in my household! Today I am finally able to sit a moment on my computer  without falling from my chair with dizziness!

I like to inform you with the sad news, that our dear "Jacques Duby" who played so wonderfully Brother Etienne in Catherine, has left us forever on 15.2. a few months before his 90th birthday. I offer my sincerest condolences to his family. We, the fanbase of Catherine, will always remember him as the smart-innocent-looking little spy of Queen Yolande and one of "Catherine's" best friends. He was a great actor, played in many unforgettable movies, télévision and theater. May he rest in peace!

...the latest country is the Ukraine which have published Catherine books. I invite you to read some interesting details on the new page. At the same time, I express my joy and thank you to Frédérique and Dmitry for supporting the Catherine de Montsalvy fansite with sending me these beautiful covers. I am truly happy that after three years I can still surprise you with yet another country.

I admit whenever I can announce that we have found a new country, which has published the
Catherine de Montsalvy books  it is a special pleasure for me! The lucky finder is
who else than my dearest friend Frédérique !
So stay tuned to learn which is the 28th country
a very excited Mistral

p.s and at the same time I can offer you now some
close-ups of the Danish covers. Not in any way do I want to say I was not happy with what I got some years ago from Birgitte of Denmark...I know myself how difficult it is to photograph books☺

With great pleasure we have a new birthday to announce today. It is our Pascale Petit who played Sara, Catherine's motherly friend. I send Pascale Petit all my best wishes and a wonderful and successful new Year.

and it is also the moment to tell you that I have tried so many times to get in touch with Sara/Pascale Petit. But my emails and my letters by the good old post came so far ALWAYS back! But hope dies last...! Should Miss Pascale see my message here I send her all the same, a bit belated best Happy Birthday wishes.

...which will soon be followed by Pierre-Marie's  official website. I am myself excited about the "birth" of Pierre-Marie's fansite and cannot wait to read all about his long and successful career - who for us fans of Catherine, he was and always will be our Arnaud de Montsalvy. 

a new year has begun and already I am able to present you a goodie. It is a "old but precious article" about Juliette Benzoni, dating from 1978
It is to Frédérique's detective work we can read and enjoy this excellent article, which I personally think it is the most "personal" we ever read about
Juliette Benzoni. In great team-work we have also
translated the long article into English. I confess, we felt a tiny bit like our Juliette. You will understand why I say that, when you read the original text ☺
