“You would have been on trial, you kept your chances.”
Fernand Noblet (Jean Carmet)
Accused in the case of his wife’s disappearance, Stéphane Bertin (Victor Lanoux) decides to invest his tannery to put weight on justice. This leads to a massive support from the inhabitants of the village demanding that Stephane be released to open the tannery. Facing trial, the entrepreneur decides not to go and even tries to take a train to escape.
The film concludes with this scene taking place at the Angoulême train station with an exchange between Stéphane and the judge Fernand Noblet (Jean Carmet).
Un si joli village will be the last film of Etienne Périer for the cinema, after that he will move to television to direct TV movies.
Un si joli village had gathered 458,736 spectators during its theatrical run.
Angoulême Gare SNCF
Inaugurated on September 20, 1852, the Angoulême train station was built the same year the railroad arrived in the city.
The work on the station incorporated part of the former Royal College of the Navy. Napoleon III came for the inauguration on October 10, 1852. Sadly famous for having seen the transit of trains bound for concentration camps during the Second World War, it was also bombed on June 15, 1944 by American planes. The attack caused hundreds of deaths and extensive damage. 1,826,364 travelers passed through in 2019. The Angoulême station is open to freight service.
