1
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,100
He was just a little idiot, but she
loved Henri.

2
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:24,220
He was just a thug, but she
was taken from

3
00:00:24,220 --> 00:00:29,280
world which was beautiful, which was only
'a gigolo.

4
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,240
You had to love him in Saint-Tropez.

5
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:38,620
She bought him things.

6
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:50,940
The Côte d'Azur, that strip of
overexposed sand and rock, runs from

7
00:00:50,940 --> 00:00:57,060
in the southwest to the town of Menton,
which squats indolently a few kilometers

8
00:00:57,060 --> 00:00:58,360
from the Italian border.

9
00:00:59,380 --> 00:01:04,220
Menton is best known for its talent for
growing lemons all the year round.

10
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,700
And if ever you feel like a lemon...

11
00:01:06,990 --> 00:01:09,410
Menton is the best place to come to.

12
00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:28,590
Where you find lemons, there are also
the well -known lemon squeezers.

13
00:01:31,050 --> 00:01:35,790
These helpful and assiduous young men
are the Boy Scouts of the south of

14
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:39,080
and are forever helping old ladies
across the road.

15
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,340
Each year, the lemon squeezers endeavor
to squeeze dry as many lemons as they

16
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:47,339
can catch.

17
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:51,740
And it may be said to their credit that
a visit to Montand is not complete

18
00:01:51,740 --> 00:01:55,640
without the experience of watching a
lemon squeezer at work.

19
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,320
In 1848, the Prince of Monaco lost the
town of Montand.

20
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,039
and then spent the next 12 years looking
for it. It was eventually discovered by

21
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:16,760
Napoleon III, who bought it for 4
million francs. When he was asked why he

22
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,160
so much, he said that the answer was a
lemon.

23
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,460
The French Riviera, which occupies the
distance between Montand and Nice,

24
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,220
features three winding coastal roads,
the Grande, Moyenne and Basconche.

25
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,320
Here we may find the true nature lover
and tourist trudging arduously along the

26
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,140
road, heavily laden with rucksacks and
camping equipment, spurning disdainfully

27
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:45,880
the noisy luxury of the motorcar, and
preferring to enjoy nature's delights

28
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,620
simple unadulterated pleasure.

29
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,640
High in the hills above Monte Carlo
stands a Roman monument known as the

30
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:16,060
of the Alps, built by Augustus Caesar in
the year 5 BC.

31
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,640
The western face bears an inscription by
Pliny, which has been lovingly restored

32
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:23,060
by a certain Mr. Tuck.

33
00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:27,740
Unfortunately, however, Mr. Tuck appears
to have restored the wrong inscription,

34
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,080
because when this tower was built in the
year 5 BC, Pliny wasn't even born yet

35
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,360
for another 30 years.

36
00:03:44,260 --> 00:03:48,420
Ever since the 13th century, the
barbarians have been coming here in

37
00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:54,180
amusement. In 1705, they tried to blow
up the trophy with gunpowder. The

38
00:03:54,180 --> 00:03:58,200
now provide an excellent viewing
platform over the surrounding

39
00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:04,700
The tiny medieval village of Aisle and
the Vista Aero, a restaurant perched on

40
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:08,060
the cliff, like an eagle in ambush for
unsuspecting rabbits.

41
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:23,180
Here the weary traveller may eat a
simple meal for 15 or 20 pounds and

42
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:28,200
local wines. The iridescent rosé brought
to Provence in the 15th century by good

43
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,760
King René of Anjou or the charming
seductive red wines of Cassis and

44
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,300
The tourist is well served by the
Riviera which looks on tourism as its

45
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:43,280
source of income and everywhere the
traveller goes to spend her money she

46
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,760
be relieved by eager, willing...

47
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,280
grasping hands.

48
00:04:50,580 --> 00:04:55,580
The Corniche leads us on to the old
fortified village of Roquebrune, a

49
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:59,020
town which has preserved its picturesque
character since feudal times.

50
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,360
The village is crowned by a castle which
dates from the 10th century and is the

51
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,840
only remaining example in France of the
Carolingian type of fortress.

52
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,180
It was built by Conrad I, Count of
Ventimiglia, to stop the Saracens

53
00:05:36,180 --> 00:05:38,380
establishing themselves once more in the
area.

54
00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:42,960
You will appreciate his success all the
more when you consider that the south of

55
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,080
France today is almost totally devoid of
Saracens.

56
00:05:56,970 --> 00:06:01,110
From here, we take the coastal road
directly to the Bay of Angels and the

57
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:03,450
tourist capital of the south of France,
Nice.

58
00:06:03,870 --> 00:06:08,410
The town was founded by the Greeks of
Marseille in the year 350 BC.

59
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:12,590
They named it after Nicaea, the Greek
word for victory.

60
00:06:12,890 --> 00:06:17,150
And, in fact, victory was the key word
for most of the invaders who would

61
00:06:17,150 --> 00:06:21,050
over Nice in the succeeding centuries,
not the least of which being the war

62
00:06:21,050 --> 00:06:24,270
which involved the heroine of the
capital, Catherine Seguran.

63
00:06:24,970 --> 00:06:29,950
It seems that when in the year 1543
Barbarossa was besieging Nice with his

64
00:06:29,950 --> 00:06:34,190
Turkish army the young Catherine
appeared at the top of the ramparts with

65
00:06:34,190 --> 00:06:38,710
skirts raised above her head as a
defiant insult to the invaders.

66
00:06:39,710 --> 00:06:45,630
Unfortunately the Turks took this
gesture as an invitation and promptly

67
00:06:45,630 --> 00:06:46,870
the city within a few days.

68
00:06:47,630 --> 00:06:51,650
Since then the girls of Nice have never
looked back.

69
00:07:01,550 --> 00:07:02,550
Where is she going?

70
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:03,809
She's changing.

71
00:07:03,810 --> 00:07:05,290
She's going back to Paris. She's taking
the plane.

72
00:07:05,690 --> 00:07:06,690
Really? Why?

73
00:07:07,090 --> 00:07:08,830
She has to go back to see her parents.

74
00:07:09,130 --> 00:07:10,130
Are you staying?

75
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:11,390
Yes, I'm staying.

76
00:07:11,470 --> 00:07:12,490
And you? What are you doing?

77
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:15,430
I'm going to stay for a few days, maybe
a little longer.

78
00:07:15,710 --> 00:07:17,110
Listen, now... Here she is.

79
00:07:17,650 --> 00:07:18,650
Ah, yes, here she is.

80
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,880
The import and export business of Nice
is largely confined to people who arrive

81
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,160
and depart in steadily increasing
numbers each year.

82
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,640
Nice Airport, which deals with much of
the trade, handles something approaching

83
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,300
a million passengers every summer.

84
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,040
Of these, by far the largest proportion
are innocent holidaymakers,

85
00:07:57,100 --> 00:08:02,100
comptometer operators, sociologists,

86
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:11,400
Christian scientists and members of the
Chamber of Commerce.

87
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:19,380
A certain number of travelers have
business interests in the south of

88
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,140
They and their associates can receive a
sizable percentage of the 8 .5 million

89
00:08:24,140 --> 00:08:26,700
pounds spent in France every year by
tourists.

90
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:31,700
The government subsidizes the industry
with 2 .4 million pounds.

91
00:08:32,789 --> 00:08:39,330
Crime, in particular confidence
trickery, burglary, smuggling, tax

92
00:08:39,330 --> 00:08:43,530
evasion and art thefts, cost another 6
.4 million.

93
00:08:44,150 --> 00:08:47,970
Reckoning along these lines, the French
government estimates to make from the

94
00:08:47,970 --> 00:08:52,890
tourist industry a profit of about 9 .3
% by the end of the financial year.

95
00:08:59,270 --> 00:09:05,950
As evening comes to the Promenade des
Anglais, friends bid each other hail and

96
00:09:05,950 --> 00:09:06,950
farewell.

97
00:09:07,310 --> 00:09:13,190
People get to know each other so quickly
here in the sunny south that time flips

98
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:19,810
by with lightning speed and
acquaintanceships blossom and die within

99
00:09:19,810 --> 00:09:21,490
short hours.

100
00:09:44,270 --> 00:09:48,810
Night falls over the promenade, the
elegant hotels, the shops and the back

101
00:09:48,810 --> 00:09:53,950
streets of Nice, and the tourist emerges
from her hotel, all freshly bathed and

102
00:09:53,950 --> 00:09:57,530
scented, to taste the wild delights of
the fun town of the Riviera.

103
00:10:05,290 --> 00:10:11,470
In the bistro, on the trottoir, in the
clubs and cafes, the jet set throws

104
00:10:11,470 --> 00:10:13,770
inhibition to the wind as they drink.

105
00:10:14,170 --> 00:10:16,190
dine and dance all night.

106
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:25,590
Games like Ludo, Monopoly and Snakes and
Ladders are played here, often until

107
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:26,830
the early hours of the morning.

108
00:10:31,410 --> 00:10:34,390
Only the lonely people feel out of it.

109
00:10:34,650 --> 00:10:38,890
For them, Nice is a town without a
heart.

110
00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:42,710
When you're alone, there is nothing you
can do but...

111
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,180
Drink a solitary cup of coffee and go to
bed.

112
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:17,500
Of course, the nightlife of the Riviera
is by no means restricted to dining and

113
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:20,600
dancing. There are many other things you
can get up to.

114
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:25,780
With the help of a reliable guide, the
traveler may look forward to a full and

115
00:11:25,780 --> 00:11:30,040
varied evening, packed with fun and
games from start to finish.

116
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,760
Tourist guides are readily available and
may be hired by the hour, the day, or

117
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,539
the week.

118
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:52,100
But unlike the rates for car hire, the
price of the guide goes up instead of

119
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:53,580
down the longer you keep it.

120
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,800
I think it's worth it to... Come on, I
have to give it my all.

121
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,360
Come on, old man.

122
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,700
You have to have this one.

123
00:12:22,060 --> 00:12:23,740
Give it to me. Oh, not your mother.

124
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,780
Oh, yes, yes, you're my mother. Come on,
give me something to eat.

125
00:12:27,980 --> 00:12:28,980
Stop it, Arsène.

126
00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:30,159
Stop it.

127
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,100
But listen, between us, frankly... No,
we're going to swim.

128
00:12:33,460 --> 00:12:36,300
You're hungry? You're not hungry
anymore? All right, let's go to the

129
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,640
Let me have the ball!

130
00:13:55,230 --> 00:13:59,070
The obituaries of the coast fall into
two distinct types.

131
00:13:59,690 --> 00:14:02,570
There are the doers and there are the
watchers.

132
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,140
The watchers spend most of their time
wishing they were doers, and the doers

133
00:14:09,140 --> 00:14:11,840
concentrate on giving the watchers
something to look at.

134
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,000
Water skiing was brought to the coast by
a group of Olympic skiers named Johann,

135
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,220
Albert and Walter, who found themselves
with nothing to do during the summer

136
00:14:57,220 --> 00:15:01,780
months. It appears that one evening, as
the three of them were sipping sliver

137
00:15:01,780 --> 00:15:06,480
bits in the Tyrolean beer garden, Johann
turned to Albert and said, Have you

138
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,540
seen Walter skiing?

139
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,440
And the idea was born.

140
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,920
The Principality of Monaco, which has
been in and out of the hands of the

141
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,880
Grimaldi family like a yo -yo for 500
years, has a motto, which

142
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:40,600
roughly translated means, a change is as
good as a rest.

143
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,880
In the 15th century, Jean II was
assassinated by his brother Lucien. Then

144
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,000
was assassinated by his nephew
Bartholomew.

145
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,060
After this, Honoré I was assassinated by
his son.

146
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,500
and thrown into the sea.

147
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,420
All good things come to an end.

148
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,120
And the princes of Monaco thought of a
new game and set it up in the casino of

149
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:02,959
Monte Carlo.

150
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,520
You see that? Here, the bloodshed is
confined to the baccarat and roulette

151
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,500
tables and is presided over by the
guardian angels who are a constant

152
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:12,500
the local architecture.

153
00:16:22,350 --> 00:16:27,270
On the Cote d 'Azur, cherubs and seraphs
abound in every corner, and nature must

154
00:16:27,270 --> 00:16:32,790
submit to the firm hand of man as he
forces his attentions on her, building

155
00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:37,570
grottos and pleasure parks everywhere to
satisfy his aesthetic desires.

156
00:17:00,490 --> 00:17:05,750
The south of France has many faces, and
the green and fertile mountainsides are

157
00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:09,510
just as much a feature of Provence as
the dense and overpopulated coast.

158
00:17:12,510 --> 00:17:17,569
In the hills and valleys of the
hinterland, the peasants lovingly

159
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:18,569
local produce.

160
00:17:19,470 --> 00:17:23,410
Olives, grapes, citrus fruits, and cut
flowers.

161
00:17:25,550 --> 00:17:29,630
Early fruit and vegetables are grown in
the region of Toulon.

162
00:17:30,010 --> 00:17:36,250
and a year and even if you can't eat it
you can always paint it or just

163
00:17:36,250 --> 00:17:40,390
leave it lying around the countryside as

164
00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:47,470
we

165
00:17:47,470 --> 00:17:52,610
continue our journey westward into the
setting sun we come to can the founder

166
00:17:52,610 --> 00:17:58,660
tourism in the south can owes the
origins of its popularity to lord bruin

167
00:17:58,660 --> 00:18:03,340
Lord Chancellor of England, who in the
year 1834 was travelling through on his

168
00:18:03,340 --> 00:18:04,339
way to Nice.

169
00:18:04,340 --> 00:18:08,560
Since there was an outbreak of cholera,
Lord Brougham retraced his steps to

170
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,980
Cannes and built the first villa.

171
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:14,160
Soon all his chums started coming over.

172
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,100
And before long, the Prince of Wales and
his coterie of loved ones had made a

173
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:22,280
habit of spending their riotous winters
in the south.

174
00:18:22,820 --> 00:18:26,640
During the early part of this century,
it became fashionable for the lesser

175
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,130
crowned heads of Europe to chase each
other up and down the promenade.

176
00:18:30,350 --> 00:18:35,710
And with them came the showgirls and
dancers, the privileged hangers -on, and

177
00:18:35,710 --> 00:18:38,810
the assorted playmates and
backscratchers of the idle rich.

178
00:18:43,410 --> 00:18:50,270
The next town we get to on

179
00:18:50,270 --> 00:18:54,770
our westward journey is Jouan -les
-Pins, known for its magnificent beach

180
00:18:54,770 --> 00:18:55,850
fine white sand.

181
00:18:56,250 --> 00:18:59,930
and an excellent facility for
sunbathing, swimming and water swimming.

182
00:19:05,010 --> 00:19:09,270
Juar has awakened to a boom of
popularity among young people during the

183
00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:10,269
couple of years.

184
00:19:10,270 --> 00:19:16,210
It was here that the Romans first
conquered the Gauls in the year 134 BC,

185
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:20,630
since which time the French have always
been an easy prey to the Latin invader.

186
00:19:29,219 --> 00:19:34,460
Dawn breaks and finds us continuing our
journey to the little town of Saint

187
00:19:34,460 --> 00:19:40,340
-Tropez, as it lies still half asleep
like a tired film star, overexposed and

188
00:19:40,340 --> 00:19:43,540
underdeveloped by the Nouvelle Vague of
the French cinema.

189
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,540
The success of Saint -Tropez as a resort
is almost entirely due to the devotion

190
00:19:49,540 --> 00:19:54,580
of Brigitte Bardot and Roger Vadim, who
together created and God created woman

191
00:19:54,580 --> 00:20:00,030
here. asked all their friends to stay,
had babies by each other, and turned

192
00:20:00,030 --> 00:20:04,550
unpretentious little fishing port into
the most pretentious little fishing port

193
00:20:04,550 --> 00:20:05,590
in the whole world.

194
00:20:06,770 --> 00:20:08,130
Overnight, so to speak.

195
00:20:51,310 --> 00:20:56,330
The town gets its name from Tropez, a
Christian centurion who was beheaded by

196
00:20:56,330 --> 00:20:57,330
the Emperor Nero.

197
00:20:57,610 --> 00:21:02,350
The decapitated head and body were then
placed in a boat between a cockerel and

198
00:21:02,350 --> 00:21:04,290
a dog who was supposed to eat him.

199
00:21:04,550 --> 00:21:09,270
When the boat came to this spot and
Tropez's remains were left intact, a

200
00:21:09,270 --> 00:21:13,790
named Celerina saw the whole thing in a
dream and built a sepulchre on the site

201
00:21:13,790 --> 00:21:16,830
for the corpse, which was later
pronounced a saint.

202
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:23,760
A prominent place on the Quayside is
taken up by a statue of the town's hero,

203
00:21:24,060 --> 00:21:25,120
Admiral Soufran.

204
00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:30,400
Soufran distinguished himself not only
against the British in Ceylon, but also

205
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,740
in account of his weight and his gout.

206
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,780
After an enthusiastic bloodletting in
1788, however, he promptly died of

207
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:46,500
The mate foundation at Saint -Paul.

208
00:21:47,130 --> 00:21:51,350
houses an extensive collection of
Impressionist and abstract paintings by

209
00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:53,610
artists who lived and worked in the
South.

210
00:21:54,270 --> 00:22:00,130
Here are works by many famous artists,
notably Cézanne, Dufy,

211
00:22:00,330 --> 00:22:06,570
Braque, Miró, Marc Chagall, and
sculptures by Giacometti.

212
00:22:17,610 --> 00:22:21,550
The reason so many artists come to the
south of France is on account of the

213
00:22:21,550 --> 00:22:26,310
uninterrupted sunshine and the calm and
gentle disposition of the sea.

214
00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:59,160
Saint -Tropez is known familiarly to its
patrons as Saint -Trope, which is also

215
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,720
French for too much.

216
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:06,340
Here, too much is made of the things one
can't do enough of elsewhere. People

217
00:23:06,340 --> 00:23:10,320
talk too much, eat too much, and sleep
too much.

218
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:13,260
Also, things cost too much.

219
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,100
Nevertheless, the tiny port has become
one of the most fashionable places to be

220
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:22,600
seen, to buy clothes and to have affairs
in the Mediterranean.

221
00:23:50,780 --> 00:23:52,180
Bastard, he's going to get you in the
face!

222
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,580
Every year, more and more celebrities
come here to get away from it all and to

223
00:23:58,580 --> 00:24:00,540
meet the people they were all getting
away from.

224
00:24:04,220 --> 00:24:11,060
In the year 1592, Saint -Tropez repulsed
the Duke of Savoy and in 1963, it

225
00:24:11,060 --> 00:24:13,840
disgusted the greater union of American
motherhood.

226
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,200
In 1637, during the hectic battle of the
Thirty Years' War, the quarrelsome

227
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,320
inhabitants of the town managed to drive
away 21 Spanish galleys.

228
00:24:25,740 --> 00:24:30,820
On the 16th of May each year, there is
an event known as the Act of Defiance in

229
00:24:30,820 --> 00:24:35,100
which all the men, women and children of
the town fire guns at each other.

230
00:24:35,420 --> 00:24:40,780
In fact, it was not until August 1944
when the Americans took over Saint

231
00:24:40,780 --> 00:24:44,460
from the Germans that any foreigner
actually felt safe enough to come here.

232
00:24:44,980 --> 00:24:45,980
Thank you.

233
00:24:51,239 --> 00:24:56,380
Another moment of discord is experienced
by art lovers who visit the Fernand

234
00:24:56,380 --> 00:24:58,260
Léger Museum at Biote.

235
00:24:59,060 --> 00:25:03,660
Not everyone agrees on the merits of
Léger's work, and heated debates on the

236
00:25:03,660 --> 00:25:08,460
value of his abstract aesthetics help to
keep the memory of Fernand Léger alive.

237
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:24,580
The museum features a mural in mosaics
from a design by the artist himself.

238
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:31,180
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately
for him, Léger died before the museum

239
00:25:31,180 --> 00:25:34,340
built and never saw this immortal
tribute to his work.

240
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:43,900
In the quayside shops of Saint -Tropez,
there are many bargains to be picked up

241
00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:45,180
by the casual passerby.

242
00:25:46,220 --> 00:25:51,260
And the art of the pick -up is practiced
with skill all along the Azur coast.

243
00:25:53,180 --> 00:25:57,460
With this go the other highly developed
trades and industries that have enjoyed

244
00:25:57,460 --> 00:26:00,160
immense success over the last 20 or 30
years.

245
00:26:03,540 --> 00:26:08,320
There are many professions into which a
young man may go if he is keen and good

246
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,279
with his hands.

247
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,960
But possibly the pick -up is still the
most favoured by -product of the tourist

248
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:14,960
trade.

249
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,940
The job is no easy one, but a young
enthusiast will find the rewards more

250
00:26:19,940 --> 00:26:22,800
adequate if he's prepared to keep his
nose to the grindstone.

251
00:26:24,580 --> 00:26:30,100
Under French law, the income of a gigolo
is not subject to tax, which can be a

252
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:33,060
great asset to a young man, saving to
get married.

253
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:05,240
And as with every business, the young
salesman finds that there are sometimes

254
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:10,320
complaints from dissatisfied customers
who want their money back or goods

255
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,320
returned.

256
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:16,520
And

257
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:26,900
so

258
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:28,160
we bid farewell.

259
00:27:29,070 --> 00:27:34,510
Sunshine and gaiety of the happy south,
the blue skies and the azure sea.

260
00:27:35,070 --> 00:27:41,330
Not goodbye, perhaps, but as we say in
French, good riddance to the sunny

261
00:27:41,330 --> 00:27:42,470
of Jouan -les -Pins.

262
00:27:42,730 --> 00:27:48,950
The carefree days in Monte Carlo,
Villefranche, and the Ile du Levant,

263
00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:52,070
nudists gambled joyfully amongst the
cactus flower.

264
00:28:35,820 --> 00:28:40,320
And on one's journey homeward, one meets
people from all walks of life.

265
00:28:40,820 --> 00:28:44,320
And if you're wise, you let them walk,
as the French say.

266
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:42,720
This year, next year, sometime, never,
if you're clever, we may be forced

267
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:49,200
to say greetings once more to the sunny
south with a smile, a tear,

268
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,900
and a fond, and oh so fond, hello.

269
00:30:05,390 --> 00:30:06,390
Oh, my God.

270
00:30:06,410 --> 00:30:07,670
Oh, my God.
