Jean de Suarez d’Aulan (1900-1944) was a man of many lives. He was President of the Maison Piper-Heidsieck, a distinguished pilot, a bobsleigh champion, a swimming champion, and a high diving champion. But it was during the Second World War when his many worlds collided. As a member of the French Resistance, he hid parachuted weapons in Piper-Heidsieck’s cellars and waged war in the skies above France.
