France 2 broadcasts this Monday evening two new episodes of “Diane de Poitiers”, its historical fresco worn by Isabelle Adjani. For the occasion, find out where the series was filmed?
This Monday, November 14, France 2 will broadcast the last two episodes of its historical fresco Diane de Poitiers, directed by Josée Dayan (Captain Marleau). For the occasion, Isabelle Adjani slipped into the skin of the mysterious 16th century countess and gave the reply, among others, to Hugo Becker and Samuel Labarthe.
This ambitious period mini-series has been widely talked about, especially for its majestic settings. Josée Dayan has indeed had the opportunity to pose her cameras in some of the most beautiful castles of French heritage. She thus went to the Aisne to film in the Renaissance pavilion which is located in the Château de Septmonts.
The director also shot for two weeks at the Château de Chambord, which had been built under the orders of François I from 1519. However, it was at the mythical Château de Blois where many kings of France lived took most of the shots.
Composed of four episodes, Diane de Poitiers revisits the story of the countess whose unalterable beauty fueled rumors and legends during her lifetime. Despite his unchallenged ascendancy over Henri, the youngest son of François I, his position at court remained fragile in the face of the powerful Anne de Pisseleu, the King’s favourite, who had a fierce hatred for him.
Wasn’t Henry’s marriage to Catherine de Medici definitively compromising the dreams of Diana, who did not hesitate to compare herself to the goddess Artemis? Can the great Nostradamus himself predict Diane’s future? Can a simple courtesan, as cultured and political as she is, escape the suspicions of the inquisition which relentlessly hunts down Protestants and witches?
Find the last two episodes of Diane de Poitiers this Monday, November 14 from 9:10 p.m. on France 2. The mini-series is available in full on the Salto platform.
