The Trip to Biarritz (French: Le voyage à Biarritz) is a 1963 French-Italian comedy film directed by Gilles Grangier and starring Fernandel, Michel Galabru and Rellys. It is based on the play of the same title by Jean Sarment which was staged at the Comédie-Française in 1936. It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris and on location in Cadenet, Trets, Toulon and London. The sets were designed by the art director Rino Mondellini. It also marked the final film role of the veteran actress Arletty in the role of a hotel proprietor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
