The Provence style included in the film is also beautiful. The following is a text introducing the area, which is also true in the film:
"Provence is located in the south of France, extending from the Mediterranean coast to the hilly areas inland, with the large river "Rhone" flowing in the middle. Many historic towns have amazed the world with their beautiful sunshine and blue sky since ancient times. The entire Provence region has an unusual charm because of its great variety - the weather is cloudy and sunny, the warm wind is warm, the cold wind is wild; the terrain is ups and downs , the plains are vast, the peaks and ridges are steep; the lonely canyons, the desolate castles, the meandering mountains and the lively cities... all perform thousands of styles on this land of southern France.”

The story came to an abrupt end.
