    Schulmeister, l’espion de l’empereur (Schulmeister, the Emperor’s Spy, 1971–1974) follows the adventures of Charles Louis Schulmeister, a cunning Alsatian merchant recruited by Fouché to serve Napoleon I. A master of disguise and intrigue, he foils royalist and British plots across Europe: Holland, England, Switzerland, Austria... Season 1 features a series of standalone missions in which he manipulates enemies and allies to protect the Empire. In season 2, at the height and then decline of Napoleon's reign, he tackles more political affairs: the Austrian surrender at Ulm, intrigues in Vienna, international espionage, and even the Hundred Days. Surrounded by loyal followers such as Hammel and Suzel, he faces formidable adversaries, always turning situations to his advantage. Part historical epic, part suspense thriller, part comedy, the series combines meticulous reconstruction, lively dialogue, and a fast pace.
