Filming did not take place in the artist's original house in Le Cannet, as Provost did not want the film to be too integrated into the city. He needed "more space and nature" for the film. Instead, he filmed the scenes at Domaine d'Orvès in La Valette-du-Var.[9] The film was partially shot in the city of Toulon and its surrounding area, located in the south of France.[10]
