Did you know that?

The Fantrippers team took a look at the pop culture places in Charente, Charente-Maritime and Vienne and discovered some nuggets! For each department, these cult places allow you to discover large cities as well as small rural communities in a new way.

Did you know that a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark in the Indiana Jones saga was shot in the La Rochelle submarine base? That the castle of Plassac was used as a set for the movie Beaumarchais, l’insolent? That the stained glass windows of the Church Notre-Dame-de-Royan inspired those of the throne room in Game of Thrones? That Georges Simenon, who fell in love with La Rochelle, used many places in his novels? Not to mention the wonderful musical The Young Girls of Rochefort, a movie that fundamentally changed the look of the city.

Did you know that Michel Vaillant, the comic book hero, used the streets of Angoulême, the city of the 9th art, for a car race? That the American director Wes Anderson set his cameras in the city of Valois to shoot The French Dispatch? That the island of Bourgines welcomed Boris Vian? Or that the group Texas shot the video for Hi in studios in Saint-Yrieix-sur-Charente?

Did you know that the actors and the technical teams of the movie A Very Long Engagement have taken up residence in Montmorillon? That a scene from Luc Besson’s The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc was shot in the Dukes’ Palace in Poitiers? That Aldous Huxley based the plot of one of his stories on a historical event in Loudun? Or that the series The Visitor from the Future used the settings of the Ligugé spinning mill to depict Neo-Versailles?

For each Fanspot, you will find a quotation of the work, an astonishing number related to the work or the place, a note with an anecdote or a secret, illustrations (photographs, visuals…) but also a text of presentation of the place and the address to go on the spot.
