His family runs a very old sawmill in the Beauregard mountain pasture. Generations pass but woodworking remains. Moreover, some members of the family display a very distinctive and mysterious sign: a compass around their neck. To obtain it, it is necessary to respect a family tradition, but Jean-Loup does not hear it that way and argues with his family. What follows is a journey through time, filled with adventures...

Season 2: The Mystery of Akelaloupis

In 1924, Combloux was a popular place for high society. All of Paris gathers there, to enjoy unbridled holidays, breathe the fresh air, and initiate with the means at hand what will one day become “winter sports”. During a prestigious ball at the Grand Hôtel, a jewel of inestimable value was stolen from Princess Joséphine DeChanteloup La Tanière: the Akelaloupis. This extremely pure crystal, cut in the shape of a wolf's head, would possess magical virtues. Caught in his escape, the thief sowed clues of the hiding place in the form of riddles before disappearing. Today, the crystal is still there, hidden somewhere in Combloux for 95 years...
