Bridge of Ile de Ré La Rochelle
“With us, you don’t fear much.“
Lizzy (Céline Sallette)
It is impossible to shoot in La Rochelle and on the island of Ré without highlighting the magnificent bridge linking the island to the mainland. With a modest budget of 1.5 million euros, director Patrick Grandperret has signed a contract with the Poitou-Charentes region. The latter required that the majority of the production take place on location and that the crew be partly made up of local actors and technicians.
Inspired by a crime that occurred in the 1970s in Chalon-sur-Saône, Meurtrières was shot quite quickly, essentially on location. The moment when the heroines cross the bridge of the Ile de Ré in La Rochelle is a turning point. It is precisely at this key moment that the two young women see a way out.
Meurtrières cost only 1.5 million euros.
Pont De Re
The Ré island bridge is the second longest bridge in France, linking Ile de Ré to Rivedoux-Plage, in Charente-Maritime departement.
Opened to traffic on May 19, 1988, the Ré island bridge is 2,926.5 meters long. The second longest bridge in France after the Saint-Nazaire bridge, the Ré island bridge is made up of 6 separate viaducts linked together by roadway joints. It has the particularity to be curved with a radius of 5000 meters and has a bell shape allowing the passage of warships.
The toll at the entrance of the bridge was originally installed to reimburse the costs of the bridge. Since 2012, following the end of the reimbursement, the people of Rete have asked that the toll not be removed to avoid an even greater influx of vehicles. Today, the toll helps finance the maintenance of the bridge, the development of public transportation on the island and a contribution to the protection of the island’s natural areas.
