In the story · Opening: Amélie's father at the pool
In the opening portrait of Amélie's family, her father Raphaël climbs out of a swimming pool and tugs at his clinging trunks, one of his small dislikes. It was filmed in this public pool, built under an Art Deco block by the architect Henri Sauvage and opened in 1930.
