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.

In 1954, following the success of her novel *Bonjour Tristesse*, Françoise Sagan took up residence at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes to work on *Un certain Sourire*. Here, she is captured mid-conversation on a rotary telephone, her expression one of concentration. Dressed in a dark, high-necked sweater and a textured skirt, she holds the phone’s base in her lap, its coiled cord draped across her legs. A simple bracelet is visible on her wrist, and a dark case with a metallic clasp sits beside her in the hotel room.
