#Le Chambon-sur-Lignon

[mrchalamet-mrstyles]

The rumor ignited social media all weekend. The Franco-American actor Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, the American star with 398 million followers on Instagram, spent a few days in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, Haute-Loire, where part of the actor's family lives.

The star couple was seen in the chocolate confectionery Douceurs du Lignon on Friday. "They had an ice cream and came back later in the evening to order a waffle, details the manager. They were dressed in balaclavas to try to go unnoticed."

His employee Coralie was able to exchange a few words with them. "They were with Timothée Chalamet's father. They wanted to stay to eat but were afraid of being recognized... It was weird to see them in front of me, I was a little stressed. "

The two stars took advantage of their unprecedented getaway to do some shopping in the village. On Friday, they would have even bought a jewel in a business of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, "two distinct pieces of heart," reports a witness.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were nevertheless able to enjoy a real tranquility for a few days. The leaks on social networks then awakened the curiosity of many fans. "Since this morning, we have received many phone calls to find out if they are still there," says an employee of the Tourist Office.

A lot of people have been wondering what Kylothee talk about when they're alone together. So I created a fantasy convo using actual quotes from their media output:

Timothee: I spent my summers in a small French Village called Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, which couldn't be more opposite from my life in New York.

Kylie: I had beautiful breasts.

Timothee: For me there was such a stark contrast between the self-empowerment of the United States and even the relationship I had with acting at a young age versus how things are done in France, where it felt like there was such respect for time, tradition, and conversation.

Kylie: Like, natural tits.

Timothee: I have always been curious about philosophy. I liked Arthur Schopenhauer when I was in college, because his work feels properly existentially nihilistic, and French poet Arthur Rimbaud, who did all his best work by the time he was 19 or 20. 

Kylie: Just gorgeous. Like perfect size, perfect everything.

Timothee: Acting is the ability to connect with different characters, to explore the depths of human emotion.

Kylie: And I just wish, obviously, that I'd never got them done to begin with.

Timothee: I naturally have a me-against-the world mentality, and I've been fighting it since I was 13. It's felt like it's only gotten me in lonely, angry places.

Kylie: That's false, I've only gotten fillers.

Timothee: I am still trying to separate my personal and my professional life. My old drama teacher gave me that advice. He told me to protect my emotions and to keep my private life private as much as I can. The danger is you can end up focusing more on what’s going on off-camera than on-camera. You don’t want to be entertaining for the sake of being entertaining. The work should be the work.

Kylie: *looks at herself in mirror and preens*

Mercredi 13 avril.

Pour ma pension j’ai tout faux. Le patron est très sympa. Lui et sa femme viennent du nord. Comme quoi les premières impressions ne sont pas toujours bonnes. « chez tante Soly » se trouve dans ce qui a été une ancienne pension d’enfants qui a accueilli  et protégé des enfants juifs pendant la guerre. L’histoire de cette petite ville est singulière*.

« En plus de la quarantaine de médailles de « Justes parmi les nations » attribuées individuellement aux habitants, en 1990, le gouvernement israélien avec l’Institut Yad Vashem de Jérusalem honore le Chambon-sur-Lignon et les communes avoisinantes. Il décerne un diplôme d’honneur collectivement « aux habitants du Chambon-sur-Lignon et des communes voisines qui se sont portés à l’aide des Juifs durant l’occupation allemande, et les ont sauvés de la déportation et de la mort »

La journée s’annonce longue avec pas grand chose à faire, en dehors de l’invitation à déjeuner du maire, Mr Jean-Michel Eyraud. Je photographie les lieux de mémoire, mais en cette saison ils sont vides d’humains et aujourd’hui la lumière est grise.

Le lieu de mémoire de la fondation de la Shoah montre des photos et films de réfugiés pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, l’exode comme les ukrainiens qui vont en Pologne.

  Déjeuner avec le maire du Chambon et Mme Denise Vallat, son adjointe et en charge de la culture. Ensuite il me fait faire un tour des hameaux qui constituent Le Chambon et qui sont beaucoup plus beaux que le centre ville. Ces hameaux expliquent comment on a pu cacher de tout temps des réfugiés et des juifs pendant l’occupation allemande. Le maire, protestant, sa femme de confession juive rencontrée à l’université, a eu dans sa famille des justes, dont son grand père. J’ai été très touché par ses explications, sa vision humaniste du monde, émouvante, son regard, son humanité.

   Je ne peux m’empêcher de penser à ma famille. Ils n’ont pas eu la chance de rencontrer des justes comme au Chambon.

 Le soir photo du maire de Sainte Sigolène et du conseil municipal, avec Ludovic A. Ludovic est enseignant à Sainte Sigolène et photographe amateur. Avec un collègue professeur d’arts plastiques, il a créé une association pour mettre en avant le travail de leurs élèves en photographie argentique, sérigraphie et gravure. C’est lui qui m’a parlé de la procession des pénitents blancs  qui se déroulera ce vendredi, saint par son appellation ! Il m’a aussi mis en contact avec le maire. Ce soir je l’ai photographié avec son écharpe tricolore, entouré du conseil municipal. J’essaie de faire cette photo partout où je passe, démocratie locale oblige. Je reste un peu au début de la réunion puis Ludovic m’emmène dans un restaurant et bar à vin à Minestrol, le « Kitch’n » tenu par des femmes. Un verre, deux verres et je m’arrête car mes soirées sont plutôt consacrées à développer mon travail de la journée. J’utilise toujours ce terme, même pour le numérique. Développer = découvrir. Afficher, projeter, révéler, étaler, montrer sont des synonymes.

Hôtel à Monistrol sur Loire. Le Corsy est plutôt un bar restaurant avec quelques chambres. La mienne, numéro zéro donne sur la rue principale. La tenancière me garantit qu’elle sera calme. Après 20.00 heures, dire qu’il n’y a pas grand monde dans la rue est un euphémisme, il n’y a personne dehors, ou presque.

BNF / Au final il y aura un rendu de dix photographies. Beaucoup de photos, que j’appellerais « intermédiaires », non choisies mais importantes dans le cadre de mon histoire paraitront dans ce journal. Elles seront le ciment de ce projet personnel qui dépassera la commande.

Les modestes textes de mon journal de bord essayeront de raconter le déroulé et les raisons de ce travail.

Village of Secrets: Defying the Nazis in Vichy France.

From the author of the New York Times bestseller A Train in Winter comes the absorbing story of a French village that helped save thousands hunted by the Gestapo during World War II--told in full for the first time. Le Chambon-sur-Lignon is a small village of scattered houses high in the mountains of the Ardèche, one of the most remote and inaccessible parts of Eastern France. During the Second World War, the inhabitants of this tiny mountain village and its parishes saved thousands wanted by the Gestapo: resisters, freemasons, communists, OSS and SOE agents, and Jews. Many of those they protected were orphaned children and babies whose parents had been deported to concentration camps. With unprecedented access to newly opened archives in France, Britain, and Germany, and interviews with some of the villagers from the period who are still alive, Caroline Moorehead paints an inspiring portrait of courage and determination: of what was accomplished when a small group of people banded together to oppose their Nazi occupiers. A thrilling and atmospheric tale of silence and complicity, Village of Secrets reveals how every one of the inhabitants of Chambon remained silent in a country infamous for collaboration. Yet it is also a story about mythmaking, and the fallibility of memory. A major contribution to WWII history, illustrated with black-and-white photos, Village of Secrets sets the record straight about the events in Chambon, and pays tribute to a group of heroic individuals, most of them women, for whom saving others became more important than their own lives.

“My love, I arrived yesterday morning after not having slept all night*. As expected, I also turned and turned in my heart what concerns you. But nothing came out of it but great impulses, boundless trust; gratitude of soul and body, the happiest and saddest love at last. But I was tired. Yesterday was spent sleeping. Tonight too. And this morning it seems to me as if I've been reborn.

It's a wonderful day, the light is bright. The heart calms to look at it. Catherine is there, having fun, tender with me, and whom I love. I'm sorry for only one thing: she now squints with one eye and this pretty face is disfigured, we'll put glasses on her and it will pass, they say, but I'm worried about it. Jean** is already in Panelier where I'll meet him tomorrow. Because I'm leaving in the morning and will be up there tomorrow.

My address is: Le PANELIER, by MAZET-SAINT-VOY, Haute-Loire. My phone number is : le 58 at Chambon-sur-Lignon, Haute-Loire. I'm not going back there without emotion. I spent some difficult months there in 1943, I wrote The Misunderstanding there and it was while descending from these heights that I met you for the first time. There's a kind of mysterious logic in all this and I'm beginning to think like you about fate.

But my project is mainly to rest and come back with new strength, ten days will be enough. This morning, I'm getting my courage back. Wednesday night when I called you, something had burst inside of me and I had to run to you. Write to me that you love me and that you're happy and I'll have the strength, all the strength I need. Also tell me what's happening with the film. Tell me everything. Don't tire yourself out too much. I used to worry on my train at night about all the extra fatigue I'd put on for you. You should have had a prolonged rest, a fortnight's Ermenonville***. But you will resist, won't you, and your eyes will be clear when I return. Take care of your health, though. Sleep above all. Do not let your sleep be nibbled.

If you knew all the love, the joy, the strong hope that you put in me, the absolute devotion that I feel, you would rest in peace in the depths of your heart. No matter how hard it is, no matter how difficult it is, it seems to me that real life is beginning. My love, I will not be able to write to you tomorrow because I will be on the road. But I will stay close to you, without any reservation. I can't even think of you as something that would be in front of me. We are kneaded together, in the same flesh. I embrace you with the love and desire that fills me. I am waiting for you.”

- Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, Correspondance, September 9, 1949 [#88]

* After a short stay in Ermenonville with Maria Casarès in Oise, Albert Camus left on September 7, 1949 to join his wife and daughter Catherine in Vaucluse.

** His son, Jean Camus. 

*** At the beginning of September, Albert Camus and Maria Casarès spent three days together in Ermenonville. They will make several short stays there thereafter.

According to a photo posted by Aqababe on Twitter Timmy and Kylie J. are in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon in France, it sounds unlikely said like that LOL but i believe it, and the photo convinced me. Taking her to his family home is a good hideout (well, almost). I don't think he's been going there much in the last few years, unlike Pauline, so it must mean something to him to take her there where his sister and father might be.

Mardi 12 avril

Première photo sur la route de Saint-Genès la Tourette. Un arbre, trônant seul sur une colline surplombant la D999, petite route sinueuse. Un écureuil traverse la route. Mairie de Saint-Genès. Je dépose les photos prises lors du voyage précédant. Je passe ensuite devant la bâtisse, la maison de nos vacances.

Le Vernet la Varenne. Bref arrêt photos. Ce nom m’était familier autrefois. On y passait pour aller à Saint-Genès. Je fais la route à l’envers, puis Saint Germain l’Hermitage. L’hôtel de Paris est fermé. Cela devait être autrefois un grand hôtel. La Chaise Dieu. Arrêt sandwich acheté dans une boulangerie et mangé dans ma voiture.

Gare abandonnée à St Aligre d’Arlau.

Le Puy en Velay et ses statues de vierges dominant la ville.

Arrivée vers 15h30 au Chambon sur Lignon. Je suis fatigué.

Le Chambon, c’est austère ! Normal si c’est protestant. Mais le centre n’est pas très attirant. Cette petite ville, c’est autre chose qui fait qu’elle est importante. C’est son histoire.

La pension où j’ai réservé est assez chère. Pas de CB. Le patron ne m’emballe pas. On dirait un guide de voyage, pas trop sympa.

Beaucoup de vent, peu de lumière en cette fin d’après midi. Ça va être coton pour la photo du maire avec le conseil municipal.

Finalement la photo de groupe avec le maire, Mr Jean-Michel Eyraud, au milieu se passe plutôt bien. Pour la réunion du conseil qui suit je fais quelques photos et je m’éclipse.

Pour l’histoire de cette petite ville, ou grand village, on  verra demain.

BNF / Au final il y aura un rendu de dix photographies. Beaucoup de photos, que j’appellerais « intermédiaires », non choisies mais importantes dans le cadre de mon histoire paraitront dans ce journal. Elles seront le ciment de ce projet personnel qui dépassera la commande.

Eric Schwam Honors Le Chambon-sur-Lignon’s History of Generosity

Eric Schwam Honors Le Chambon-sur-Lignon’s History of Generosity

In 1943, Eric Schwam, his parents, and his grandmother arrived in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, a very small town in south-east France, as refugees. Originally from Vienna, the Jewish family were removed from Austria by the Nazis and held in an internment camp in Rivesaltes until 1942. They, along with hundreds of other Jewish refugees, were sheltered by the town’s citizens through the rest of WWII,…

Full interview of Timothée and Armie : Le Figaro 02.28.18 Translation (approximative by me)

-INTERVIEW - In competition for four Oscars, Luca Guadagnino's film will be released this Wednesday. His director has breathed his sensuality and unprecedented modesty, revealing the talent of the actor of 22 years and resurrecting the career of Armie Hammer. Le Figaro met the two actors for a facetious discussion.

-No respite for the Call me by your name team. After a week spent between Los Angeles and Rome, they landed mid-January in Paris to promote the film from the cult novel by André Aciman Later or never. This jewel of tenderness and humanity signed by Luca Guadagnino, the director of Amore and A bigger splash tells the awakening of the desire between two young men in Italy of the 80s and is like Tom Thumb at the Oscars, with 4 appointments. The idyll is in the running, on March 4, the statuette of the best film and the best actor for his star and revelation, Timothée Chalamet. At 22, the Franco-American actor, seen in Homeland and Lady Bird who also released Wednesday in theaters, is the youngest actor to compete in this category since 1939! Call me by your name also marks Armie Hammer's return to the stage. Noticed in 2010 in The social network by David Fincher, the 31-year-old American has also suffered several setbacks at the box office, with Lone Ranger, birth of a hero and very special agents: Code U.N.C.L.E.

-Unveiled at the Sundance Festival in January 2017, Call me by your name has offered its stars an incessant world tour. Despite fatigue and jet lag, no weariness was visible to the accomplice duo who responded with enthusiasm and jocularity to our questions.

- LE FIGARO - Call me by your name took more than eight years to mount. Initially the adaptation of Andre Aciman's novel was to be brought to the screen by James Ivory. Then producer, Luca Guadagnino was propelled coscenarist and director. When did you join the adventure?

-TIMOTHEE CHALAMET - I met Luca when I was 17 in 2013. The only reason I got this appointment when I had no experience was that I had the same agent as Tilda Swinton with whom Luca had just turned A bigger splash (laughs). At the time, there was no scenario yet. I borrowed André Aciman's novel from the library of my university. I discovered a rare role for an actor of my age. Elio is an authentic and sincere description of the obsession that can accompany the awakening to sensuality. There was the added complexity of playing a contradictory character and very intellectual.

-ARMIE HAMMER - I met Luca seven or eight years ago. He liked The social network and came to Los Angeles to meet me. We had a fabulous 4:30 hours conversation about art, cinema, philosophy, literature. I said to myself: "I hit the nail, I had the role". Then no more news ... Until two years ago. I wanted to say yes immediately. My agent was worried and encouraged me to read the script: but even with a love scene with a peach, I was going!

-Do you have much in common with your characters?

-AH - Very much. Oliver is good at giving the change, to make him feel comfortable, to have confidence in him, when he does not feel that way at all. I am like that too. Oliver is not well in his skin because he can not live as he wishes: only Elio manages to break through his defenses.

- TC - This Italian summer reminded me of my holidays in France in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon in the family of my father in Haute-Loire. In small European cities there is a different awareness of time: we have breakfast, we discuss, we read newspapers, we bask in the sun ...

- How did you prepare for your roles?

-TC - With Luca, we tried to stay close and faithful to the book. I have also been inspired by other films of transition to adulthood and awakening to sexuality, such as Y tu mama tambien by Alfonso Cuaron and La vie d'Adèle by Abdellatif Kechiche.( Blue is the warmest colour is the english tittle)

AH- The book portrays Elio's point of view which is not very reliable (laughs). It is enough for Oliver to say hello to him so that Elio finds cala fantasy. Conversely, if Olivier leaves without saying a word it's a bastard. Researchers gave me an idea of ​​what it is like to be gay and Jewish in the 80s in the United States on the East Coast.

- What were your most delicate scenes to shoot?

- AH- The dance scene. Oliver had to let go, get lost in space and time. This is exactly the antithesis of who I am. Swinging in front of 75 extras and technicians without music is the most uncomfortable thing I've ever done, much more than sex scenes!

- TC - The most pointed was the piano scenes because in the book Elio is a little genius. I arrived in Italy a month and a half before shooting started. I am often asked about the scenes of love, Luca filmed them with a lot of delicacy. I never had to fear that they were opportunists or voyeurs.

-Did call me by your name change your outlook on life?

- AH - In this film, there is absolutely no exposure. At no point does Luca Guadagnino tell you what these characters feel. Everyone can identify themselves. During our existence, we will go through bitter moments and milder moments. The accumulation of these moments makes what makes life so precious. Do not throw away the good for fear of the bad.

- TC - I think back to Michael Stuhlbag's monologue playing Elio's father. Listening to him declaim it's like I heard a little voice say to me, "Timmy, hunt exhilarating experiences. Be sad if they do not succeed but do not repress what you feel. If one hurts and one suffers, it suffers in the right way. To suffer in the wrong way is to suffer by hating oneself.

- ... and your career?

- TC - Call Me By Your Name is a dream come true. I got this role when I left school. How lucky to find such a fresh, demanding project with which the public reacts! When I called Call me by your name, nobody knew me. I did not have a career to risk unlike Armie ...

-AH- You mean my tramp career?

-Call me by your name was presented in January 2017 at Sundance where he received an enthusiastic actor, then in February 2017 at the Berlin festival. Now you are promoting in Europe and are in the running for four Oscars. How did you live these past months, out of the ordinary?

-TC- I do not feel absolutely jaded. I benefit every moment. Go to the four corners of the world to interact with the spectators is magic. When I was shooting with him Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, Matthew McConaughey told me something very fair: "A movie is not a sprint but a marathon. There are catches, gambling bets that do not work. We must not fight the guilt but start over and continue. Playing with Armie, seeing how he let himself be guided by his instinct but also how he approached the press events, the evenings were very instructive. It was enough for me to look at him, Luca or Daniel Kaluuya of Get out who also had an extraordinary year to know how to do it.

AH -  I am so happy that Timothy lives this great moment of recognition. There has not been such a catchy performance, so subtle from a young actor for 70 years!

-TC - After March 4th, it may be time to take a little vacation. Armie and his wife invited me to come to the Cayman Islands where he grew up! (Laughs).
