Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire
Chaumont-sur-Loire, France
Château classified as a historical monument.
The scene : The castle lends its walls to the abode of the nymphs, where Céladon is taken in after being pulled from the waters. Held there against his will by a nymph who wishes to keep him by her side, the shepherd eventually escapes by disguising himself as a woman.
Château de Fougères-sur-Bièvre
Fougères-sur-Bièvre, France
Castle classified as a historical monument.
The scene : The castle houses the druid's home, played by Serge Renko. He is one of the two characters who, behind the scenes, pull the strings of the plot and orchestrate the illusions that the lovers live by.
Menat, France
The scene : This is where Rohmer set his shepherds. The gorges provide the pastoral exteriors of the film — meadows, woods, and riverbanks — this simple and rustic countryside that the filmmaker sought to rediscover the world of the novel.
