Bunkers
“Do you even know where you’re going? I think we’re lost.”
Deborah (Marie-Ange Casta)
The filming of Mineurs 27 in Royan gave the team the opportunity to explore the region in depth. Wishing to shoot several sequences on the beaches, the director Tristan Aurouet placed his cameras on the beaches of Nauzan and Platin before going to the beach of Pointe Espagnole, without depriving himself of a detour to the bunkers of the Grande-Côte. Formerly leaning against the dune, the old defensive constructions of the German army have now “slipped” onto the beach. With their feet in the water, as if planted in the sand, the bunkers see Deborah (Marie-Ange Casta) and Stan (Finnegan Oldfield) getting to know each other. A striking scene precedes an even more touching one, during which Stan’s character reveals his cracks.
Mineurs 27 is Tristan Aurouet’s first solo feature film after Narco, which he directed with Gilles Lellouche.
Bunkers de la Grande-Côte
The bunkers of the Grande-Côte were among the first defense posts used by the German troops of the Occupation. Today, they tell a whole part of the history of the region.
Originally built against a dune that has since been pushed back by the west wind, most of the bunkers on the Grande-Côte of Saint-Palais-sur-Mer have their feet in the water today. Sometimes covered with graffiti, they welcome tourists and walkers and bear witness to one of the darkest pages of the region’s history.

Le Petit Nicolas - la bande dessinée originale (FR version)
Did you know that Petit Nicolas was born as a color comic strip? IMAV éditions publishes for the first time in a comic book the complete plates written by René Goscinny and drawn by Sempé. These plates appeared between 1955 and 1956 in a Belgian magazine, Le Moustique, to which Sempé and Goscinny collaborated. Then they left Le Moustique and, three years later, in 1959, they resumed Le Petit Nicolas, this time in the form of illustrated stories. The stories appeared in Sud-Ouest Dimanche, then were published in books and were a huge success. The unpublished drawings that are published today in this album contain all the ingredients that will make the success of Little Nicholas. They are presented in the form of one-page gags. In his scenarios, Goscinny has already set up the springs of the saga and portrays the main characters. Sempé already represents an immediately identifiable Nicolas. This comic strip already has the flavor of what will make the success of the character, humor and poetry. The publication of the album Le Petit Nicolas, la bande dessinée originale (The Little Nicholas, the original comic strip) completes this series imagined by René Goscinny and Jean-Jacques Sempé. This rediscovered treasure allows us to discover the genesis of one of the most famous works of children’s literature.
