where is a good year filmed with russell crowe
A Good Year
The film was shot throughout nine weeks in 2005 , mostly in locations Scott described as `` eight minutes from my house '' . French locations were filmed at Bonnieux , Cucuron and Gordes in Vaucluse , Marseille Provence Airport , and the rail station in Avignon . London locations included Albion Riverside in Battersea , Broadgate , the Bluebird Cafe on King 's Road in Chelsea , and Criterion Restaurant in Piccadilly Circus . The scene with the tennis match between Max and Duflot was added on the set , replacing an argument at the vines to provide `` a battle scene '' . As the swimming pool on Chateau La Canorgue did not fit the one Scott had envisioned from the scene , only the scenes outside the pool were filmed there . The one after Max had fallen was dug and concreted nearby , and the original one had its bottom replaced digitally to match . The production team could not film the wine cave from La Canorgue as they shot during the period where it was being used , so the wine cellar from a nearby hotel was turned into a cave . While southern France does not have clay courts as the weather makes them hard to maintain , Scott wanted one for its dirty and beaten up aspect , so the tennis court was built from scratch , including posts straight from the Wimbledon courts . Fanny 's cafe was shot in a Gordes restaurant , with designer Sonja Klaus decorating it with items bought from second - hand shops considering the character would have done the same . Klaus employed a kitsch decoration on Duflot 's estate to show it was `` a character keeping up with the Joneses -- if it was in America , he would drive a golden Cadillac with leopard skin print seats '' , and decorated the large water basin of Cucuron with floating candles to `` make it look like a fabulous event '' for Max 's dinner with Fanny .
