Played by the talented Michel Cordes, Roland Marci is the patriarch of the family and the proud owner of the popular bar, where locals gather to share stories, laughter, and the occasional heated debate. His son, Thomas Marci, portrayed by the charismatic Laurent Kerusoré, is an integral part of the series as well.
