gruissan-plage




Gruissan des Chalets is a small beach town with characteristic beach huts on stilts. It's where Betty Blue or 37.2ºC le Matin was filmed.
It was actually the first proper adult French film I saw years ago in New Zealand. I remember it more for it's exotic setting than for the antics of Béatrice Dalle.

  1. something very odd about a winter-beach. I'm drawn to it but I don't know why...
    that film sounds quite interesting, will have to see if I can get it out on DVD over here.

  8. Beautiful, beautiful, Mary.

    And Betty Blue! I remember that -- had the poster, even. Seems like so long ago.

    Anyway, love the mood here.
