the state prefect of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region Mr Macron chose the well-guarded residence to escape the public eye and avert the bad publicity his predecessors attracted with their choice of holiday The house in Allauch and its parkland are surrounded by high walls The Elysée Palace refused to confirm where the image-conscious president was going when he left for his ten-day break on

sera aménagé au sein d’une ancienne usine électrique située à l’entrée du village d’Allauch fera revivre « les œuvres intemporelles de l’académicien tout près des collines qu’il a magnifiées dans ses souvenirs d’enfance » précise la municipalité signé il y a quelques jours entre la Ville et le Fonds de dotation Marcel Pagnol « Le lieu est superbe, très bien placé », nous confiait il y a tout juste un an, Nicolas Pagnol petit-fils du l’écrivain et cinéaste français Cela fait plus de 20 ans qu’il est en quête d’une municipalité susceptible d’accueillir ce projet et de l’accompagner mon grand-père

étage de l’ancienne usine qui servait à alimenter le tramway que prenait le petit Marcel quand il partait passer l’été dans la Bastide neuve Le bâtiment qui veut devenir un véritable pôle culturel abritera aussi un restaurant un office de tourisme et un espace de coworking l’objectif est de créer « un lieu où on peut rester boire un café des tableaux… La scénographie va être travaillée dans les prochains mois pour offrir aux visiteurs une expérience unique sur les traces de l’oeuvre de l’enfant prodige du pays provençal Le Temps des Secrets is the adaptation of the novel published in 1960 by Marcel Pagnol the third instalment of the novelist’s Souvenirs d’enfance Guillaume de Tonquédec and young Léo Campion Christophe Barratier shares his vision of this playful My grandmother was an actress and her walls were covered with photos of Raimu and Fernandel Topaze… I’ve always heard people talking about Pagnol it was almost like a “curfew” at home Pagnol’ s work always appeared quite naturally to me I feel a sort of complicity and intimacy with the characters The movie focuses on Marcel who leaves primary school and enters the “big league” discovering first love and also secrets hidden by his parents I had to work on reorganising scenes and I sometimes had to take things from Pagnol’s other books to add to the dialogues and I’ve made certain moments of the film more spectacular such as when they hunt the snake in the cave Pagnol says very profound things on details; he actually used to say “The  details Pagnol places himself so much at our level that his stories continue to resonate… And that’s good because it makes people continue to tell the stories I was impressed by the way they shared the feelings emotions and also the games of their characters in their 1905 world I love the south but I didn’t know Marseille and the surrounding area well. We got a warm welcome. After two weeks of filming, I felt I belonged here. And we were also very lucky to have an almost totally local cast, which was really good.
