Les Amants film locations
Jeanne Moreau is married to stuffy old Alain Cuny and carrying on an affair in Paris too, when she suffers a sudden Gallic attack of amour fou and takes off with a younger hunk, in Louis Malle’s early New Wave movie.
Moreau and Cuny’s villa is a composite of an actual villa in Dijon – as it’s supposed to be – together with exteriors filmed near Paris. The neighbouring roads were filmed around Burgundy, while the grounds were actually way to the south in Provence.
The small village where Moreau and her beau-to-be stop off en route to Dijon is Montbard, 45 miles northwest of the city on the River Brenne and the Canal du Bourgogne.
