François “Pierre” Picaud (French: [piko]) was a 19th-century shoemaker in Nîmes, France who may have been the basis for the character of Edmond Dantès in Alexandre Dumas, père’s 1844 novel The Count of Monte Cristo.

And, as with the book, this whole saga did play out over 10+ years.
Wild. I can honestly respect Pierre’s dedication.
This is one of those things where I have no idea how I lived this long without learning it, because I love the book, love the 2002 film, and watch it a few times every single year.
