Shooting at Grignon!
A cult series has come and gone!
As we recently learned, filming took place a few months ago at Grignon. We're talking about a few shots for the second season of "Bref".
Released earlier this year, "bref.2" exploded off the charts and was rated the most popular series of all time by the public on Allociné France. For those who haven't heard of it, it's the sequel to "Bref.", a series of 80 episodes, each lasting between 1 and 3 minutes, recounting the daily life and adventures of an average urban thirtysomething.

Bref ran from 2011 to 2012 on Canal +, and was a great critical and popular success, its short format and jerky editing being innovative for the time. Many people have appropriated the codes of the series, which has spawned a number of repeats and parodies.
13 years later, a Season 2 was announced with sibylline announcements in the Paris metro, returning to screens at the beginning of February in long format, with 6 30-minute episodes.
Taking advantage of the estate's tranquil setting, the Kyan Khojandi, Bruno Muschio and Harry Tordjmanteams had the opportunity to shoot a few scenes in the château grounds. In episode 3, the hero is immersed in a wedding photo with the château in the background.

We hope the whole film crew enjoyed their visit!
If this is indeed a work of fiction, Grignon recently hosted some real agros weddings before AgroParisTech moved in. At Grignon Campus, we're just like everyone else: we love a good show, a good party and love! And what better way to do it than on this splendid estate?
We'd like to congratulate AgroParisTech for having seized this opportunity, and now we're just waiting for a decision from Annie Genevard to bring this magnificent site back to life for good, and to multiply the number of occasions like this one!
