PHOTOS: Wealthy&Toothless French Shepard leaves nothing in his will for His Young wife

A wealthy French hermit, whose marriage to a glamorous Parisian estate agent made headlines around the world, cut her out of his will before he died.

The marriage of toothless land owner Marcel Amphoux to Sandrine Devillard, who was 25 years his junior, caused controversy in France after residents in Puy-Saint-Pierre turned out to boo and whistle throughout the ceremony.

They said they were concerned about Devillard's motivation for marrying the 68-year-old, who lived in a hut close to the Italian border without electricity or running water.

Amphoux, who died in a crash in November, owned five shepherd's huts close to Alpine ski resort Serre Chevalier.

The huts may be worth hundreds of thousands of euros each if they were converted into ski chalets

Land in the area is worth up to 3,500 euros per square metre, local media reported.

But, Amphoux's blonde wife, 42, has been cut out of his will and has been left nothing, according to The Independent.

A local lawyer has told the newspaper that Amphoux's will has been uncovered and that it was written in the weeks before he died on the back of an envelope.

According to the reports the shepherd's huts have been left to the tenants and the rest of his estate has been left to an unnamed beneficiary.

Lawyer Jean-Michel Colmant was quoted in The Independent as saying: 'Everyone who has seen it confirms that it is in Marcel's writing. He has clearly stated that he wishes to leave nothing to his wife.'

Devillard has not commented but is expected to contest the will.

French media reported the romance began when Devillard approached Amphoux in a bid to buy his land.

He refused and they began a relationship soon afterwards.

Villagers said she told tenants that they were being evicted and that the huts were hers.

Village mayor Jean-Marius Barnéoud reportedly even asked police to investigate the unlikely union over fears Amphoux was being duped into marrying her.

Photographs of their wedding appeared in national newspapers.

After intense speculation about her motivation for marrying Amphoux, Devillard attempted to silence her critics with a self-penned song and music video about her love for her husband.

Marcel Amphoux died in November last year after a car, being driven by his wife's friend, plummeted off a mountain in heavy mist.
