This page contains a copyrighted image from Google Earth (Image:C'etait un Rendez-Vous map.png) which has been put up for deletion (screenshots of Google Maps/Google Earth aren't fair use). A new image will be needed. Zetawoof^(ζ) 09:44, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I've also noticed that much of the text on this page is identical to that of http://www.rendezvousdvd.com/ I presume this is copyrighted, hence should be removed. 72.137.43.90 06:37, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Route diagram needed

So, apparently images from Google Maps / Google Earth are not allowed on Wikipedia because of copyright restrictions. However, I don't know the actual route taken so it's difficult to re-create using a map that is not copyrighted.

I would be willing to find a 1970's-era street map that is not copyrighted and trace the route for the diagram, if someone can point me in the right direction of the original copyrighted Google Maps image. If you can add that link here to the talk page, it would be great, and I will find the image and re-create it using an uncopyrighted map. Thanks. 24.18.35.120 05:01, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I just found it here: http://www.answers.com/topic/c-etait-un-rendez-vous-map-png

I will see what I can do in terms of re-creating it using an uncopyrighted map. Any leads? 24.18.35.120 05:04, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Audio overdub?

It may well be a Merc that the footage was shot from, and the director's comments in the "making of" film would seem to confirm this, but that is definitely NOT a Merc saloon that you are hearing. For a start it is almost entirely unsilenced, yet it isn't blowing in a way that suggests his exhaust has been removed, in fact it sounds in excellent tune. Secondly, the yowl near the top of the rev range, and the wail on overrun suggest a V12, not the V8 that the Merc would have been fitted with. Thirdly, you can quite distinctly hear him double declutching on the down-shifts, and occasionally on an upshift (which the author on the main page has mistaken for missed gears), this is almost positively a fingerprint of a gearbox full of straight-cut cogs, which in turn screams "racing car". I would love to know what it is that he used for the overdub, and big kudos for getting the match so good. Pyrope 17:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The driver

"A May 2006 Making of the rendezvous documentary indicates that the driver was a Formula 1 driver"
I've just watched this documentary, and in fact Claude Lelouch clearly says that he is himself driving the car.
