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.

After the success of her novel "Bonjour Tristesse", Françoise Sagan works on "Un certain Sourire" in her room at the Carlton Hotel. With a portable typewriter on her lap, the author sits in an upholstered armchair, her focus intent. Bright daylight from an open French door behind her casts long, sharp shadows across the floor, creating a stark contrast within the quiet interior. Cannes, 1954.
