In Normandy, the town of Villers-sur-Mer has paid a fine tribute to filmmaker Claude Lelouch, giving his name to a promenade. A town that he has loved since he was a child and that he discovered a long time ago.
It’s not on Hollywood Boulevard, but at Villers-sur-Mer (Calvados) that a walk bears the name of Claude Lelouch since this Sunday March 26, thus celebrating a long love story with Normandy. The filmmaker came there as a child, in 1938, the year during which his father took his whole family on vacation for the first time. “It was on this promenade that I almost learned to walk. My children, my grandchildren, learned to walk here too. I have walked it all my life. (…) I have a report to this very sentimental region”confides Claude Lelouch.
15 films shot in Villers-sur-Mer
A beautiful union with a city where he shot 15 films and it is the entire flowered coast which owes a lot to the filmmaker. “With a bit of luck, we will be able to take a walk from Honfleur to Caen because he has done so much for us”jokes Annie d’Ornano, former mayor of Deauville (Calvados).
