He lives in a château in Brittany. And he has the original manuscripts.” But you’re looking in the wrong place
But the attack on the Lyon-Turin rail line? It was foiled—not by the DGSE, but by an alert train conductor who noticed a drone with an unusual payload. The hacker had used de Villiers’ name to hide a real threat in plain sight.
