History Series / LaPetiteHistoireDeFrance

* BabyFactory: The last thing Ysabeau wants to be, especially when she's constantly around Guillemette, her ExplosiveBreeder sister-in-law.

* TheGhost: Take UpToEleven: In one skit, it is revealed that Philippe and Marie-Louise have a son called Louis-Etienne, two years younger than their daughter, but they don't remember it because they sent him to a wetnurse in Normandy and then military school in Gascony. The son is never mentionned again.

--> '''Baptiste:''' Dad, can I ask you something without you getting angry?
--> '''Jean:''' No.
--> '''Baptiste:''' Right.

--> '''Baptiste:''' I don't want this marriage, I want to live my life!
--> '''Mathilde:''' Me too!
--> '''Baptiste:''' And I want to be free and to marry Pauline!
--> '''Mathilde:''' Me too!

** Ysabeau is often seen shelling beans, 50 years before the first Europeans set foot in America; in later seasons, Maelle and Gwenola as well.

** Jean and Renata's inn features gas lamps, which were only invented in the 1850's.

* ArtisticLicenceHistory: Napoléon I was a master of nepotism and gave all of his family and friends high ranking positions and even crowns; if Renata had really existed, it's unlikely he would have left her to be an inkeeper.
** [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]]: Neither she nor Jean understand why Napoléon hasn't summoned them yet and are furious about it.
** There is also the fact that they are quite distant cousins. Jean in one episode says that Renata is related to Napoleon by her "great-grandaunt", which makes them third cousins more or less removed.

--> '''Jean:''' He may be a Breton, but he's ''our'' Breton.

* BadBoss: Renata to Pauline. She is often either jealous of how well she does her job (mostly, of Jean [[ClingyJealousGirl acknowledging]] that she does her job well), or telling her that getting harrassed and fondled by customers is good for business.

* BloodKnight: Played for laughs with François.
** Maelle and Lena aren't too far removed from this trope either.

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Jean, as soon as he become the head of the district traders' guild, starts embezzling from it, bribing the police to look away and hires his wife for a very lucrative position in which she does nothing.

--> '''Ysabeau:''' A real knight would have helped that poor widow.
--> '''François:''' No, that's in your books. Real knights strike in the back, abuse the poor, and shit themselves before a battle.

* TheDitz: Philippe and Marie-Louise are this and get away with it by virtue of being BlueBlood in an era of absolutism.

** Alan, who has a huge crush on Gwenola. She finds his shyness completely unnattractive, however.

* DumbMuscle: Burghal, Maelle's brother, who is both TheBrute and TooDumbToLive.

* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The entire 1430's story is set between Joan of Arc's capture in May of 1430 and her execution in May of 1431, including [[spoiler: Ysabeau's entire pregnancy, the months prior and those after]].
* FantasticRacism: PlayedWith. While there was often a form of regional prejudice in French history, especially with particularly independantist areas like Brittany, Jean, Renata and other Parisians treat Le Cloalec'h like he's from a dangerous, uber-violent civilization on the other side of the planet.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: Baptiste dreams of going to America and live adventures in the New World, but Jean is insistant that he should take over the inn.

* FieryRedhead: Maelle.

** Lord Northbrock, François's English prisonner, is this to Ysabeau, mostly because he lives by the chivalric ideals she can only read about.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Ysabeau gets hot and bothered when [[ReallyGetsAround Catherine]] tells her about her sexcapades, and once needs to isolate herself while she's listening.

** Subverted. Philippe once is delighted to have helped a mare birth her foal, and Marie-Louise proudly serves him a delicious pie she baked herself. They then discuss how if they were suddenly reinvited to live at court, they would drop everything and run back to Versailles.

--> '''Marie-Louise:''' Baron Falgarone just rubbed his bollocks.
--> '''Philippe:''' Oh. Crabs?
--> '''Marie-Louise:''' Think bigger, Philippe. ''Syphilis''.

** Renata is surprisingly good at dealing with [[ShellShockedVeteran Shell-Shocked Veterans]], like when she uses a trick straight out of Film/TheKingsSpeech to get an order out of a stammering patron.
--> '''Renata:''' You ain't the first soldier who came back kooky from the battlefield.

* HumanSacrifice: Yoric is against, but as a druid apprentice, Gwenola is very insistant that she needs [[DeliberateValuesDissonance that she needs some out-of-use slaves to practice on]].

** Ysabeau scolds Gaspard for doing special sales, saying that her cheeses are good enough that they don't need to demean themselves to sell them. She lowers her neckline as soon as he's out of sight.
** She also despises violence... except when it's useful to her business.
** Jean and Renata, always and at all times when Le Cloalec'h is concerned. Most importantly, they constantly dunk on him for being from Brittany (an independentist region with a unique culture and language), while Renata herself is from Corsica (an independentist region with a unique culture and language).

* IAmOneOfThoseToo: Feuillade is happy to brag about the years he spent as Louis XIV's ambassador in China... Until he meets Rıza Beğ, who actually was the Shah's ambassador in Beijing and speaks fluent Mandarin.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Baptiste, who complains about his life and calls himself his parents' slave... in front of Mondésir, a black man from the West Indies.

** At one point, Baptiste and Pauline learn this new danse called the waltz. His parents think they look ridiculous.

* LargeHam: François and his friends, Renata and Maelle are rather loud.

* MamaBear: [[spoiler: Ysabeau forbids anyone from getting close to her son, ''especially'' [[BloodKnight François]], and gets upset at everything in the house from candles to spoons. [[JustifiedTrope To be fair]], considering the infant mortality rate...]]
* {{Manchild}}: Gaspard, the wannabe knight who works as a shepherd for Ysabeau. She and François rescued him from life as a beggar and he often acts around them like an 8-year-old with his parents.
** François himself often gives things about as much reflexion as a toddler would.

* OhCrap: When Ysabeau lets it pass that she just wants to avoid DeathByChildbirth and wouldn't have sex with François "even if he was handsome". Lucky for her, he doesn't even raise the insult.
* OldManMarryingAChild: Marie-Thérèse, at 18, has been married for a few years to the 86 year old duke of Vinteuil. She enjoys his money and title, and is actively trying to make his "death of old age" kick in, for example by making him run after her in the entire castle.

--> '''François:''' Too many François in this town.

* OverlyLongGag: The secret code Napoleon alledgedly knocks on the door when he visits the inn.

** In an early episode, Marie-Louise says she and Philippe have been married ten years. In later seasons, they have an 18 year old daughter.

* LaResistance: Maelle is (trying to be) at the heart of one against the Romans. Doesn't help that most of Yoric's clients are Romans themselves.

* ShoutOut: Alan wants to call his dream daughter with Gwenola Boudica.

* SignificantNameOverlap: [[spoiler: François and Ysabeau's baby is accidentally christened François because Ysabeau was scolding her husband during the baptism. She initially wanted to call him Charles, but the priest was having a bad day because François and Adelin accidentally set his church on fire and refused to change it.]]
* SirSwearsALot: François - his favorite word is "''foutredieu''", or meaning "God's cum".

--> '''Yorick:''' She must have tried to get eaten by wolves again.

* TheUnfavorite: Briac against his sister Gwenola. He means well, but his parents have found him unsufferable since he returned from business school- from studying in Rome.

In 1AC, years after the surrender of Vercingetorix, his cousin Yoric, his wife Maelle and their family are making a success in this newly Roman Gaul.

In 1430, Joan of Arc has just been captured by the English, and her cousin François is trying to figure out a way to break her out. Unfortunately, he's never gone past the wacky plan-making idea, under the watchful eye of his patient wife Ysabeau.

In 1810, Napoléon Bonaparte keeps on ignoring his cousin Rénata, much to her annoyance and that of her husband Jean Plancher, a Parisian inkeeper.

''La Petite Histoire de France'' (Eng. ''The Small History of France'') is a French comedic shortcom, created by Creator/JamelDebbouze, Laurent Tiphaine and Frank Cimière for the W9 channel in 2015 and ongoing.

It focuses on four more or less distant cousins of the four famous {{Historical Domain Character}}s named in the page's introduction, and their respective families and entourages. Initially focused on the later three, the fourth season saw the arrival of a new family with Vercingetorix's gallo-roman relatives.

Everyone knows Vercingetorix, [[UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc Joan of Arc]], [[UsefulNotes/LouisXIV Louis XIV]] and [[UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte Napoléon Bonaparte]]. Their cousins didn't make the cut of history, though.

--> '''Renata:''' You ain't the first soldier who came back kooky from the battlefield.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Guillemette felt like this about Ysabeau until she realized that she was at least [[SuperOCD a little nuts]] like everyone else.

* ArtisticLicenceGeography: La Croutinière is in Burgundy, near the city of Nevers, but the cook, assumedly a local, speaks with a thick Ch'timi accent, which is from the north of France.

* IAmAHumanitarian: Lena's last memory of her mother was that she was "overcooked" during the siege of Alesia.

** Le Cloalec'h's first name often changes.

* FemaleMysoginist: Lena, who believes that women are "an affront to the gods", and should not talk unless being talked to. Never mind that she wasn't being talked to when she said that.

* GoingNative: Subverted. Philippe once is delighted to have helped a mare birth her foal, and Marie-Louise proudly serves him a delicious pie she baked herself. They then discuss how if they were suddenly reinvited to live at court, they would drop everything and run back to Versailles.
