Summary
The Arbac de Neuvilles are one of the oldest families in France.
They have inhabited their ancient château for fifty-two
generations and are proud of their noble ancestry. But today they
are stone broke. When a bailiff turns up notifying them that they
owe two million euros in back taxes, these proud aristocrats are
understandably shaken to the core of their ancestral seat. Just
how are they to find this amount of money when none of them has any
capacity for work...?
