The scion of a posh family whose blueblood ancestors once lorded over parts of his native Vend?e region in western France, the chateau-owning de Villiers initially attracted more pragmatic royalists and upper-class rightists than he did hardened reactionies. Long unwilling to taint himself with the snarling language and mean-spirited policies favored by the National Front, de Villiers has often been belittled as "Le Pen Lite." He's clearly looking to change that - and not just with his trademark warning...
