Some men are wicked smart. A wealthy French Hermit who
married a glamorous and beautiful blonde estate agent , died without
leaving her a dime in his will.
The marriage of the toothless land owner Marcel Amphoux to Sandrine
Devillard, who was 25 years his junior, caused controversy in France
after residents in Puy-Saint-Pierre turned out to boo and whistle
throughout the ceremony. According to them,they didn't believe she
married him for love.First he wasn't exactly Bradpitt and 2ndly, he was
68years old and lived in a hut without electricity or running water.
French media reported the romance began when Devillard approached Amphoux in a bid to buy his land.
He refused and they began a relationship soon afterwards. Villagers said
she told tenants that they were being evicted and that the huts were
hers.
Village mayor Jean-Marius Barnéoud reportedly even asked police to
investigate the unlikely union over fears Amphoux was being duped into
marrying her.
A local lawyer has told the newspaper that Amphoux's will has been uncovered and that it was written in the weeks before he died on the back of an envelope.
According to the reports the shepherd's huts have been left to the tenants and the rest of his estate has been left to an unnamed beneficiary.The huts may be worth hundreds of thousands of euros each if they were converted into ski chalets.Land in the area is worth up to 3,500 euros per square metre, local media reported
Lawyer Jean-Michel Colmant was quoted in The Independent as saying: 'Everyone who has seen it confirms that it is in Marcel's writing. He has clearly stated that he wishes to leave nothing to his wife.'
Devillard has not commented but is expected to contest the will.
Marcel Amphoux(the man) died in November last year after a car, being driven by his wife's friend, plummeted off a mountain in heavy mist
