The young boy, \u00c9ric, was taken along with his brother, Jean-Philippe, by their grandfather, Jean-Pierre Peugeot, to the upscale Saint-Cloud golf club, where they were entrusted to the care of the club\u2019s nursery.<\/p>\r\n<p>While Jean-Philippe and \u00c9ric were playing under the supervision of a babysitter, a brief moment of distraction was enough for \u00c9ric to disappear. The boy was suddenly gone, despite the watchful eyes of the babysitter and the family chauffeur, Georges Perelli.<\/p>\r\n<p>Near the slide, a letter was found addressed to the child\u2019s father, Roland Peugeot. It was a ransom note, demanding 50 million old French francs, an enormous sum at the time.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cDear Mr. Peugeot, this is what we could read in the newspapers, which gets us into trouble: \u2018The young man from Peugeot died after being severely tortured because his parents refused to pay 50 million French francs (equivalent to \u20ac842,600), or they spoke to the police\u2026\u2019 I don\u2019t want to leave your little one in the care of my friend D\u00e9d\u00e9. He\u2019s a bit crazy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>This letter, typed in large red letters and addressed to Roland Peugeot, was not only a grave threat but also every parent\u2019s worst nightmare.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/02.jpg 640w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/02-300x222.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Although the police were immediately informed, Roland Peugeot was given the freedom to negotiate with the kidnappers on his own. The police were unaccustomed to handling such severe crimes. It was, in fact, the first time in France that a child from a prominent family had been kidnapped. The police were at a loss as to how to handle the situation.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Television as a Voice<\/h3>\r\n<p>Roland Peugeot became the first Frenchman in a kidnapping case to use television to address his son\u2019s abductors.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cI speak to you as a father whose child has just been taken. Anyone who has children of their own and loves them will understand my situation, I am certain of that. My only concern is to get my son back safe and sound as quickly as possible. I have not filed a complaint. I solemnly pledge to request that the abductor will not be prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Following the kidnappers&#8217; instructions, he gathered the ransom in standard banknotes and deposited it at an agreed-upon location in Paris, in the Passage Doisy, a shopping arcade. The kidnappers kept their word. \u00c9ric Peugeot was left unharmed in the 16th arrondissement, where he was found safe and sound in the middle of the night. The entire ordeal lasted three days.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"917\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"5073\" src=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/03-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/03-1.jpg 917w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/03-1-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/03-1-768x503.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 917px) 100vw, 917px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"680\" data-id=\"5070\" src=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/04Interview-Eric-Peugeot.-Foto-Rene-Vital-Paris-Match-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/04Interview-Eric-Peugeot.-Foto-Rene-Vital-Paris-Match-1.jpg 776w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/04Interview-Eric-Peugeot.-Foto-Rene-Vital-Paris-Match-1-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/04Interview-Eric-Peugeot.-Foto-Rene-Vital-Paris-Match-1-768x673.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"918\" height=\"573\" data-id=\"5069\" src=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/04-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/04-1.jpg 918w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/04-1-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/04-1-768x479.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"flex-1 overflow-hidden @container\/thread\">\r\n<div class=\"h-full\">\r\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-oimer-79elbk h-full\">\r\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-oimer-1n7m0yu\">\r\n<div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm md:pb-9\">\r\n<article class=\"w-full scroll-mb-[var(--thread-trailing-height,150px)] text-token-text-primary focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-[-4px]\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-29\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\r\n<div class=\"m-auto text-base py-[18px] px-3 md:px-4 w-full md:px-5 lg:px-4 xl:px-5\">\r\n<div class=\"mx-auto flex flex-1 gap-4 text-base md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 md:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-[40rem] xl:max-w-[48rem]\">\r\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\r\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\r\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\">\r\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words text-start [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"c8951ded-9dbb-4436-94e4-88d4c3e0aad4\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\r\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\r\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\r\n<p><strong>Nonviolent Kidnapping<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Roland Peugeot emphasized to the press that he had negotiated alone, without assistance from others. Even \u00c9ric, who was allowed to speak briefly to some journalists, recalled only a short ride in a stolen Peugeot 403 and a ground-floor room with a television. In reality, \u00c9ric was taken to a pavilion in a village in Val d&#8217;Oise, not far from Paris. He was well-treated and kept entertained with chocolate bars. He even played cards with his kidnappers.<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<h3><strong>Kidnappers Arrested and Convicted<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>At the time, police lacked the advanced investigative tools available today, and they took their time concluding the investigation. The hideout was discovered, along with the typewriter used to compose the ransom letter. However, the trail went cold. Eleven months later, in March 1961, Pierre-Marie Larcher (38) and Robert Rolland (25) were arrested while enjoying a luxurious stay in Meg\u00e8ve. Interpol had alerted French investigators to the extravagant lifestyle of the two criminals, which was inconsistent with their lack of a legitimate income. After a period of surveillance, police found banknotes with serial numbers matching those of the ransom money. The two kidnappers, along with their flamboyant entourage, were promptly apprehended.<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<h3><strong>Twenty Years Imprisonment<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>Larcher and Rolland were sentenced to 20 years in prison by the Court of Appeal in Versailles. The trial turned into a melodrama, with Larcher claiming he had cared so well for the boy that he was certain \u00c9ric had enjoyed the experience, calling himself and Robert the &#8220;kindest kidnappers imaginable.&#8221; He then tried to divert the court&#8217;s attention by suggesting the involvement of a third man. Rolland, on the other hand, argued that they hadn\u2019t intended to commit the kidnapping. However, he claimed they were forced into it after his Danish fianc\u00e9e, Lise Bodin\u2014better known as Miss Denmark of 1960\u2014unexpectedly had to pay a large fine.<\/p>\r\n<p>Lise didn\u2019t escape legal trouble either. She spent three months in the notorious women\u2019s prison in Versailles before being acquitted. It also emerged that the men had been inspired by the 1953 American novel <em>The Snatchers<\/em>. The ransom note sent to the Peugeot family was found to be a near replica of the letter from the book. It was, as the saying goes, &#8220;better well-stolen than poorly invented.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>The kidnappers were released after serving 12 and 14 years, respectively. Larcher became a professor of law, while Rolland took a job at a publishing house. \u00c9ric Peugeot went on to hold various roles within the family business, particularly in Belgium. \u00c9ric himself has stated that he bears no lasting trauma from the kidnapping.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/article>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"421\" height=\"773\" data-id=\"5075\" src=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/01Neue-Zurcher-Zeitung-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/01Neue-Zurcher-Zeitung-2.jpg 421w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/01Neue-Zurcher-Zeitung-2-163x300.jpg 163w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"803\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"5059\" src=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/05Lise-Bodin-med-sin-franske-playboy-Raymond-Rolland.-Foto-Nord-Sorensen-803x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/05Lise-Bodin-med-sin-franske-playboy-Raymond-Rolland.-Foto-Nord-Sorensen-803x1024.jpg 803w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/05Lise-Bodin-med-sin-franske-playboy-Raymond-Rolland.-Foto-Nord-Sorensen-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/05Lise-Bodin-med-sin-franske-playboy-Raymond-Rolland.-Foto-Nord-Sorensen-768x979.jpg 768w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/05Lise-Bodin-med-sin-franske-playboy-Raymond-Rolland.-Foto-Nord-Sorensen-1205x1536.jpg 1205w, https:\/\/peugeotvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/05Lise-Bodin-med-sin-franske-playboy-Raymond-Rolland.-Foto-Nord-Sorensen.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Danish model Lise Bodin under interrogation, accused of complicity in the Peugeot case.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1960, \u00c9ric Peugeot, four years old, was kidnapped in a suburb of Paris. \u00c9ric is the son of Roland Peugeot, who at the time was the head of Etablissements Peugeot Fr\u00e8res.
