When we ask the guests of SERIELAND which French series have marked them in recent years,

Le bureau des Légendes

is very often cited. 

The success of this fiction is due in particular to the scenario.

The series features an entity of the DGSE - the General Directorate of External Security - responsible for training clandestine agents, immersed in foreign countries to collect information on behalf of the French State.

These agents have agreed to keep one part of their life silent in order to invent another.

One of them, Guillaume Debailly, alias Paul Lefebvre, returned from six years spent in Syria and struggled to regain his true identity.
