“- Oriente Maupassant? 1,2,3,4,5. Oriente? Ben guide! Guide Maupassant. You wouldn’t have found this, would you, there’s no risk? Guide Maupassant.

– What? Yes, it is! Guide Maupassant, I know, it’s like the Michelin guide.

– Oh no! The Guide Maupassant, no but it’s big ! The Guide Maupassant like the Michelin guide. Oh the beret, the beret.”

Landremont (Patrick Bouchitey) and Germain (Gérard Depardieu)

Germain likes to spend long hours at Chez Francine, a café, where he drinks cannons and plays cards with his friends. In the feature film, this place of conviviality is visible several times. In addition to the crossword scene where the garage owner Landremont finds the pun with the famous novelist Guy de Maupassant, it is here that Germain consoles his friend Francine (Maurane) when Youcef, her companion, decides to leave her for Stephanie, the nurse.

It is the café Le Français in Pons that was used by Jean Becker for the needs of his film. A little modified at the level of the decoration, it allows nevertheless the visitors to recognize this business held by Maurane in the feature film, in front of the famous quadrangular keep of 30 m of the city of Pons.
