https://lightcone.org/en/film-920-bouquets-1-10
Bouquet 1: The Mount Ventoux, from top to bottom over a distance of twenty miles: yellow poppies and mountain flowers mix with people eating their lunch, scrambling, or cycling up the slopes leading to a scale of colorful candies on the summit.
Bouquet 2: The village of Brantes and a school cycling party on the borders of the Vaucluse and Drome departments.
Bouquet 3: A Sunday afternoon on the way to, and in, the village of Roquevaire (Var Department) on the banks of the Huveaune River.
Bouquet 4: On the sands of Beauduc (Camargue, near the national park area) people have built a small village out of a bric-a-brac. One of the cabins has a local Provencal scene painted on its fences: a Camargue bull is depicted in its bullring with a windmill, cypress tree, and spectator (or bullfighter). The sea air is rapidly peeling off the paint. The local authorities are threatening to remove all the homes.
Bouquet 5: A slope on the main Marseille to Paris railway line by the organic food cooperative just outside the ramparts of Avignon.
Bouquet 6: Sunset in la Vesse, a tiny fishing harbor on a rocky inlet near Marseille.
Bouquet 7: A famous round medieval wash-house built on an equally famous spring, (the Fosse Dionne, in the medieval town of Tonnerre) mingled with wildflowers from the abandoned terraces, cultivated plants in the surrounding park leading up to the church on the hill, flowers in hanging pots, their reflections and others growing in or around the water's edges.
Bouquet 8: The beach at Beauduc with people boating, sailboarding, or fishing for shellfish.
Bouquet 9: A field of buttercups on the way to Signes (Var) with families on a Sunday outing, and some of the rubbish they leave behind.
Bouquet 10: The mountain slopes and leisure activities surrounding the artificial lake of Serre-Poncon (Hautes-Alpes) as a flock of sheep roam the camping site and a launch visits the church on an island, the only flooded village item remaining above water level.
