On March 24, at the Saint-Médard-De-Presque, the first day of the film was held in France, of the film by Guillaume Canet. With the presence of more than ninety people, the small town of 201 souls in the pit of a remote control managed to get its visitors with all the attention that could be given to them. With the support of the Mayor, Sébastien Maillot, and his advice from 6am to 1 pm
It’s been a long time since Saint-Céré’s country was not the seat of a shooting and relative dynamics. The older can remember the French television soap opera Bayard or the Knight Bayard, in black and white, directed by Claude Pierson based on the scenarios and dialogues written by Daniel Martin. This series was broadcast from January 16 to April 9, 1964 on RTF television. The relative reception, which was mostly in the lot, had begun on May 30, 1963 to end in late September 1963.
The filmmaking team then is based in Saint-Céré. The castles of Castelnaau, Loubressac and Château de Gaillot de Ginoulhac had served as ensembles and many extratas of this film were Saint Céréens.
Certainly that Guillaume Canet’s film will contribute in the same way as this series, to the knowledge of the beautiful heritage of the area.
