Catherine, il suffit d'un amour was a French television series produced by Antenne 2 in 1986 and based on the Catherine novels written by best-selling French author Juliette Benzoni. The adaptation remained similar to the original text of Juliette Benzoni's story about Catherine and her adventures in France during the 15th century.

Plot

The story takes place in the time of the Armagnac-Burgundian Civil War, a conflict which occurred during a lull in the Hundred Years' War. John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, is locked in a struggle against the Armagnacs who support the future King Charles VII. During the Parisian riots of 1413, Catherine Legoix, the 13-year-old daughter of a goldsmith living on the Pont-au-Change, tries to save a young Armagnac knight, 16-year old Michel de Montsalvy. He is to be executed because he spat at Duke John and called him a traitor. Catherine hides Michel in the family's cellar, but he and her father are murdered by a paternal cousin. Catherine and her mother flee to Dijon to the home of her maternal uncle, Mathieu Gautherin. They are accompanied by Sara the Black, a young gypsy who hid the women in a slum area of Paris.
