When Françoise Sagan became famous, having written "Bonjour Tristesse", she went to live at Cannes in a room at the Carlton Hotel and worked there on her novel "Un certain Sourire". Cannes 1954.

Following the success of her debut novel *Bonjour Tristesse*, Françoise Sagan took a room at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes in 1954 to work on her next book, *Un certain Sourire*. Here, engrossed in her reading, she stands in the open doorway to her balcony, dressed in a simple dark ensemble. With one leg crossed casually and a slight smile on her lips, she enjoys a moment of quiet contemplation against the backdrop of the shimmering sea.
