  Chicago Sun-Times: `Choclat' takes us to France
Flavignys narrow houses and looming stone church seemed to speak an entire dialogue of their own in 44Chocolat, with tales of a thousand characters now buried in the ancient village cemetery.
Flavigny actually is bracing for a different sort of prize: an influx of filmgoers, who will certainly want to see how such a place can still exist these days.

The picture above was taken on June 14, 1998, in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, France, where a schismatic sect of ultra-conservative Catholics still perform a traditional Corpus Christi procession.
Flavigny is a walled medieval village, and the Host is carried around the walls and then through the town; handfuls of rose petals are cast before the feet of the seminarians who carry it.
In the middle ages, the Host would have come to rest finally in the parish church; nowadays, it returns to the Intégriste Seminary; the "important people" who follow it come from miles away to do so, and their cars are often distinguished by Royalist bumperstickers.

Flavigny-sur-Ozerain is perhaps the Sleeping Beauty of the little mediaeval towns of Burgundy.
Surrounded by a wall and scented by the sweet fragrances which emanate from the small factory producing the famous Flavigny aniseed balls, the town seems to step straight out of the Middle Ages.
Its narrow, winding streets are sometimes bordered by turreted houses with stone staircases, sometimes by more humble dwellings which attest to the former wine-growing activity that was so much a part of the area’s activity in the past..

Je n'ai pas vu le film mais, Bourguignon d'origine, je connais Flavigny et ses fameux "grains d'anis".
L'apparition à la fenêtre est charmante, un peu mélancolique ; en tous cas très présente sur la photo qui fait parfaitement ressortir les traits du visage sur le fond sombre.
J'aime aussi beaucoup le grain et les nuances du crépi et des pierres.
