The cap has stopped its crazy jig.
:47:47
We're off to see the only owner
:47:50
who cares for his gleaners.
:47:53
I warn children about the terrible
effects if they eat too much,

:47:57
but I take for granted that the
adults know and I leave them alone.

Jerome Noel-Bouton
:48:03
shows us an old photo of his vines
:48:06
which used to be Marey's.
:48:08
There is a mini-museum
in the cellar.

:48:11
An engineer
and erudite physiologist,

:48:14
Marey invented chronophotography.
:48:17
He was a visionary.
:48:19
He analyzed movement
:48:21
before Muybridge and the Lumieres.
He is the ancestor of all movie makers,

:48:26
and we're proud to be family.
:48:29
Marey was my father's grandfather,
which makes him my great-grandfather,

:48:34
and to be more specific,
:48:37
my grandfather
was Marey's son-in-law, since...

:48:42
his wife, my grandmother,
was Marey's daughter.

:48:45
She married a man named Bouton
:48:49
and this estate, which used
to be in the Bouton family,

:48:52
was bought by Marey,
:48:55
and returned to the Bouton family
when his daughter married a Bouton.

:48:59
Congratulations!
