Châteauvallon

Châteauvallon is a soap opera of 26 episodes, created by Georges Conchon and Jean-Pierre Petrolacci, which was broadcast in France between 4 January 1985 and 28 June 1985 on Antenne 2.

At the same time, the Kovalic clan, Yugoslav emigrants led by Gregor (Alexandre Rignault) and Albertas (Catherine Alcover), are trying to impose themselves in the city and aspire to dethrone the Bergs, with whom they have serious grievances.

At the beginning of the 1980s, Pierre Desgraupes, then president and CEO of Antenne 2, wanted a French-style Dallas to compete with broadcasts of the American soap on TF1, and entrusted it to Georges Conchon for development.
