Is this where they recorded the seaside film? I must dig out my DVDs.

 

No! Quite a long way South but the Belle-Epoque villas somehow reminded me of the film.

 

This shot is from St. Palais sur Mer; a place we discovered 20 yrs ago. If I won the lottery................... :cool:

La vacance de? Lovely film. Another small example of where we British should make our alliance rather than where we do:rolleyes:

 

It's a while since I've seen it - I bought a Tati 3 DVD set a few years ago for a ludicrously small sum in France - but the last time I saw it I remember thinking that it could have been a British comedy, it had a kind of almost Ealing feel to it. Tati as the outsider bewildered by the 'normal' world. Almost Basil Fawlty without the anger.

 

There was an appearance of a British couple if I remember.

My favourite Tati film is Jour de Fete, now that is a vanished France! I've also got Playtime & Mon Oncle.

 

There is a statue of him at St Marc sur Mer, where Les Vacances was shot; I'll get there one day. :)
