Studios. 1963 proved to be her most active year, with several avant

(Portuguese Vacations), André Cayatte's experimental 'paired' films
Jean-Marc ou La vie conjugale (Anatomy of a Marriage: My Days with
Jean-Marc), and Françoise ou La vie conjugale (Anatomy of a Marriage:
My Days with Françoise), and director Éric Rohmer's La Boulangère
de Monceau (The Girl at the Monceau Bakery).Girardon also worked in
television. In 1967, she played Nicole in the first season of Les
