Word of Mouth

What is the connection between the film *Le Père Noël est une ordure* and the village of Ménerbes? One man: Yves ROUSSET-ROUARD. Before serving as Mayor of Ménerbes from 1995 to 2014, Yves ROUSSET-ROUARD built a career in feature film production, some of which have since become cult classics. It was in 1974 that he successfully launched his film production career with the adaptation of the erotic literary masterpiece “Emmanuelle”. This was followed by around ten films, including “Les Bronzés”, “Les Bronzés font du Ski” and “Le Père Noël est une ordure”.
