Belle de Jour (1967)

dir. Luis Buñuel

Many thanks to Lois for taking additional pictures for me.

The coach in the park – Allée du Château, Château de Rosny-sur-Seine, Rosny-sur-Seine, Yvelines, France. It’s a private property and is not open to the public.

The winter resort – Valberg, Guillaumes, Alpes-Maritimes, France.

Séverine’s (Catherine Deneuve) apartment – 8 Rue de Messine, Paris, France.

Séverine coming to Madame Anaïs’ brothel – Rue Léon-Maurice Nordmann at Square Albin Cachot, Paris, France.

Madame Anaïs' (Geneviève Page) brothel – 3 Square Albin Cachot, Paris, France. The square is closed to non-residents.

Séverine walking in the park before she decides to go back to the brothel – Château de Rosny-sur-Seine, Rosny-sur-Seine, Yvelines, France. Though the film implies it's somewhere near the square, it’s actually to the northwest of Paris on the road to Rouen. Apparently, Buñuel had fondness for that château (or maybe it was just available) since he used it in three different segments of the film.

The hospital where Séverine’s husband Pierre (Jean Sorel) works – Centre Hospitalier Sainte-Anne, 1 Rue Cabanis, Paris, France.

The restaurant where Séverine meets the necrophiliac Duke (Georges Marchal) – La Grande Cascade, Allée de Longchamp, Bois de Boulogne, Paris, France.

The Duke’s estate – Château de Rosny-sur-Seine, Rosny-sur-Seine, Yvelines, France.

Marcel (Pierre Clementi) robs a courier – 79 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Paris, France. The building has since been remodeled and it’s a Toyota showroom now.

Marcel crashes into another car – 6 Rue du Docteur Lancereaux, Paris, France.

Marcel shoots a cop – Rue de Messine at rue du Docteur Lancereaux, Paris, France.

Marcel is shot by the police – 15 Rue du Docteur Lancereaux, Paris, France. Some of the buildings in the street have since been demolished.
