Michels former mistress, Caroline dHerblay, and her politician husband are also at the same hunting event, and Mrs. dHerblay insists that Michel stay the weekend. The President asks his daughter why she tricked Michel like this, and she proclaims her unrequited love for Michel as her father balks at her silliness.Michel and Mrs. dHerblay reunite secretly in the woods and they arrange a rendezvous later in the night once her husband is asleep. As she slips out of her room later that night, her husband fakes snoring and follows her, suspecting she is up to no good. At the same time, Brigitte heads to Michels room and surprises him as he was expecting Mme dHerblay and she tells him she wants to be his mistress and promises never to speak of marriage. They kiss, but Mrs. dHerblay walks in on them and a scene erupts. Mr. dHerblay Nol Roquevert himself hears vaguely sexual sounds emanating from the Presidents room as he is lighting his smoking pipe, and a separate scene erupts whereby Mr. dHerbaly wakes up everyone in the house i.e., the Cabinet of France as they investigate who is in Michels locked room. Mrs. dHerblay is hidden and Brigitte is revealed to be in Michels bed in front of the entire French government, thus embarrassing the President. Not wanting to cause a scandal, Michel and Brigitte are forced to be married by her father. During their honeymoon, Michel tells Brigitte he is glad he married her, but she is unsure. When they return to France, she tells her father she is sure Michel will cheat on her sooner or later, but her father is sure he will not. ........
