Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot

I prefer to travel in spring or autumn when there are fewer crowds but the French traditionally head down south in the summer for some beachtime. Mr. Hulot's Holiday is a classic 1953 French comedy film starring and directed by Jacques Tati that pays tribute to that French institution, les grandes vacances.

The breezy jazz score was written by Alain Romans. The film was shot at the Hôtel de la Plage at Saint-Marc-sur-Mer (Saint-Nazaire), France.
