To us Catherine fans, Gérard Chambre is best known as
"Chevalier Jean Poton de Xaintrailles"
Arnaud and Catherine de Montsalvy's best
friend. One of the chief captain's of Jeanne
d'Arc and also best friend to La Hire. As I
learned from my visits to Juliette Benzoni
Xaintrailles was indeed
godfather
to Michel de Montsalvy, Catherine and
Arnaud's son.
Gérard Chambre made his debut in theatre
alongside Georges Wilson, Roger Hanin and
many more..under the direction of Alexandre
Arcady, Jean-Claude Brialy, Gerard Verges,
Robert Manuel, Philippe Ferran.
On television he played many leading roles
like "Les dessous du ciel", "La
Guerre des Femmes" and as Jason Beaufort in Juliette
Benzoni's "Marianne" - Jean de Xaintrailles
in "Catherine" and as Admiral John Paul
Jones in"Le Gerfaut" directed by Marion
Sarraut.
His vocal training brought him to the
musical: Catch my soul (Marigny Theater),
opera rock Gomina (European), music (scene
of the Porte St Martin), Jacques Brel (Espace
Cardin), Prière de laisser le XXe siècle
dans l’état où vous l’avez trouvé (Avignon),
Les plus que personnes (Avignon)
In 2009 he wrote „Le petit groom chez
Maxim's, music by Offenbach. This more than
popular play had its debut at Monsieur
Pierre Cardin's château Lacoste on July
2009.
From September 2009 "Feu la mère de Madame,
by Georges FEYDEAU directed by Gérard
Chambre and "Le petit groom chez Maxim's"
were guest in Paris, at Pierre Cardin's
Restaurant MAXIM's. Due to it's great
success, it was repeatedly prolonged until
June 2010.
On March 2011 he created the spectacle
Cocteau Guitry chez Maxim's.

The touching words
of Gérard Chambre
concerning the death of Juliette Benzoni
|
February
2016
I just heard
the terrible
news, the loss
of our dear
and wonderful
Juliette. She
left us, taking with
it
her
enthusiasm,
her
generosity,
her kindness
and her
talent...
but she leaves
us
her
words,
her thoughts,
her
laughter and
all the
adventures
that she
had imagined
for us, for
our pleasure,
our happiness
and immense
joy to
which she had
invited us.
On this day
I
am deeply
touched
and
sad, sad
Juliette
has
left us, sad
she
closed
her latest
book
and put away
her pen
forever.
I embrace
that one which
was kind
enough
to give me
a day, a
tiny
part of
her
eternity...
Good-bye Juliette
Gérard
Gérard Chambre was present in
the church Notre Dame de
Saint-Mandé for a last farewell
to Juliette Benzoni. |

During one
of my visit to Paris in
2016, I went to
see
Gérard Chambre's
(Jason
Beaufort, Jean Poton de
Xaintrailles, Admiral John Paul
Jones) Comedy Musical "Chez
Maxim's ça swing - Tribute to
the unforgotten
Frères Jacques" ! I greatly
enjoyed it . I send my compliments to Gérard
and his magnificent troupe Opéra ma non troppo.
I have met Gérard the
first time at
Palais Bulles in 2009. I am
also the webmaster of his
official website and
moderate his Facebook page.
He has now
signed the
Catherine Guest book
and I am
deeply touched by that kind
gesture and his words. |
