Stéphane Bern takes us to England to meet the most Rabelaisian of the English, lover of France and savior of Europe: Sir Winston Churchill. When asked what was the secret of his longevity, he replied: "It's sport... I never do it!" The whole character of Winston Churchill is contained in this answer. A subtly Rabelaisian spirit inhabited this descendant of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, in love with culture, France, cigars, drink and just about anything exciting, including war. The "Old Lion", as he is nicknamed, represents the quintessence of phlegm and British humor.
