During the filming of “Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe” at Auguste Renoir's house, "Les Collettes," a picnic scene descends into scripted chaos. Actor Paul Meurisse (in a white suit) is among the cast as mechanical wind devices simulate a powerful mistral, turning the meal into a catastrophe. The actors react with animated distress to the manufactured tempest, with one woman covering her ears while others gesture wildly around the long, disheveled table. Cagnes-sur-Mer, 1959.
