Enjoy Historical Note for those curious about the elevated shed My love for this film led me to visit the Dordogne region of France where this scene was filmed. The storage shed is built on a floodplain and the pilings go down 10 feet. The rolling hills and regular flooding from the Dordogne River has created a multitude of fertile riverfloodplain fields making this area one of France s most bountiful farming regions and a visual delight, almost like a fairy land.
