During the summer of 1904, the family rented the Bastide Neuve, – a house outside the quiet Provençal village of La Treille, close to his birthplace of Aubagne and approximately ten miles from Marseille. In 1900, the Pagnols moved from the country to the city of Marseille, where his father had his teaching post. René had not been born at the time of the action of this story Marcel was the eldest child and he had two younger brothers, Paul and René and a younger sister, Germaine. His father, Joseph, was an instituteur”, the more modest rank of teacher as compared with the more qualified “professeur”, who teaches in lycées. He was born on 28 February 1895 in the town of Aubagne, about eleven miles from Marseille. Marcel Pagnol was a very gifted all-rounder - novelist, playwright, and film-producer. ![]() ![]() Le Chateau de me mere summary Marcel Pagnol - Le Château de ma Mère – Summary in English and background notesĪ PRELIMINARY BACKGROUND TO THIS AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOVEL ![]()
