Paul Meurisse (white suit) during filming of “Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe” at the Auguste Renoir house "Les Collettes". With the aid of mechanical wind devices a tempest, the mistral, turns the déjeuner into catastrophe. Cagnes-sur-Mer 1959.
During the filming of Jean Renoir’s “Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe,” a simulated mistral turns a picnic into catastrophe. In the gardens of "Les Collettes"—Auguste Renoir's former home in Cagnes-sur-Mer—actor Paul Meurisse, in a white suit, aims a siphon bottle at his fellow guests. Aided by mechanical wind devices, the scene erupts into chaos as people flinch and duck for cover, and a white hat is captured flying through the air. Cagnes-sur-Mer, 1959.
