The Tocqueville series was launched with a live program from the Normandy, France chateau of the Tocqueville family. Descendants of Alexis de Tocqueville and Gustave de Beaumont, Tocqueville scholars and others shared the family origins and history of both men. The guests answered viewer telephone calls throughout the program. Comte Guy d’Herouville’s late wife was the great-great-great-niece of Alexis de Tocqueville, and she was the last person to bear the Tocqueville name. Jean-Guillame and Alexis d’Herouville are the sons of Comte Guy. Neither Alexis de Tocqueville nor Gustave de Beaumont had children themselves. Marquis Pierre de Beaumont is the great-great-great nephew of Gustave de Beaumont. close
