The magnificent garden we see in the film is part of the Brière Regional Nature Park, in the heart of the Guérande peninsula (in Loire-Atlantique), and covers over a hectare. Comprising a vegetable garden, an ornamental garden, a copse and two ponds, it is a space in constant flux, but also a visual melting pot that invites cinematic exploration. The film was shot as a tribute to the creators of this beautiful place, Annick Bertrand-Gillen and Yves Gillen.

The earliest surviving motion-picture film, and believed to be one of the very first moving images ever created, was shot by Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince using the LPCCP Type-1 MkII single-lens camera. It was taken on paper-based photographic film in the garden of Oakwood Grange, the Whitley family house in Roundhay, Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire (UK), on 14 October 1888. The film shows Adolphe Le Prince (Le Prince’s son), Mrs. Sarah Whitley (Le Prince’s mother-in-law), Joseph Whitley, and Miss Harriet Hartley walking around in circles, laughing to themselves, and staying within the area framed by the camera. Roundhay Garden Scene is often associated with a recording speed of around 12 frames per second and runs for about 2 to 3 seconds.
