Avant tout, Colas Breugnon est un homme libre. Il aime son roi, mais tant que le roi lui laisse sa liberte ; il aime sa femme, mais suit son propre penchant ; il est en excellents termes avec le cure d'une paroisse voisine, mais ne va jamais a l'eglise ; il idolatre ses enfants, mais sa vigoureuse individualite fait qu'il ne veut pas vivre avec eux.

Before everything, Colas Breugnon is a free man. He loves his king, but only so long as the king leaves him his liberty; he loves his wife, but follows his own bent; he is on excellent terms with the priest of a neighboring parish, but never goes to church; he idolizes his children, but his vigorous individuality makes him unwilling to live with them. He is friendly with all, but subject to none; he is freer than the king; he has that sense of humor characteristic of the free spirit to whom the whole world belongs.
