Frédéric Dard (1921-2000), the writer of many gloriously far-fetched policiers crammed full of slang (some words invented by Dard himself) spent part of his childhood in Saint-Chef in the département of Isère, a place near to his heart and where he is buried. He was also known as San-Antonio after the cop he created.
The school where Dard was a pupil is now private premises, but this plaque remembers him today in what is now Place Frédéric Dard.
A part of the village museum is also dedicated to the writer.
'FRÉDÉRIC DARD
