Charles Maurras, Jean de La Varende, and his publisher Edouard Aubanel

(the example of provincial virtues so as not to become a registration number),

his century, as well as having to leave his region to visit Paris, etc.

• An obituary was published by the Academy of Sciences, Arts and Belles-Lettres of Caen (of which he was a member) (Volume XXXIV 1996):

Born in Tilly-sur-Seulles, which he never left, with Norman and Auvergne origins,

Jean Albert Boucher was a discreet man, a man of culture, protector and friend

of the arts, and above all a man of faith, working for the rebirth of the chapel of

12th century by professing numerous heritage conferences there.

he said: "So many people think that they act because they are agitated. The Hermit, on the contrary,

can be a discreet and effective engine of complementarity"
