Jim Morrison wandering around a film set in France


According to someone named Porche--who maintains a comprehensive catalog of movie and video Jim Morrison appearances--this is "Silent color footage of Jim Morrison visiting the set of Jacques Demy's film 'Peau d'Âne' (aka 'Donkey Skin') during a trip to France in late June 1970. This film is often generically described as footage of Jim in Paris, but he was actually at the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley, about 100 miles (180 km) southwest of Paris. Jim can be seen with his friend Alain Ronay and signing an autograph for one of the stars of the film, Delphine Seyrig. This was filmed by Demy's wife, fellow filmmaker and friend of Jim's, Agnès Varda." Kinda cool.
