Directed by Philippe Harel

Comedy

Film Synopsis

It has been a full decade since Cora, Nadine, Mathieu and Louis survived their disastrous walking holiday in Corsica.  Now Mathieu and his brother Louis run a photocopying shop together in Paris, whilst Cora has married a divorcee named Jean-Jacques.  Nadine still hasn't found the great love of her life, but she makes do with Hervé, a married man who is in no hurry to get a divorce.  The four friends agree to spend another holiday together, this time in the somewhat more hospitable environs of the French Riviera.  After what happened to them when they last met they are taking no chances.

Not long after the group's happy reunion in St Tropez, Mathieu runs into the tour guide who made their last holiday such a major event in their lives - Éric.  Glad to have met up with his former fellow ramblers, Éric offers his services as a guide on their next tour of the region.  This is probably the last thing that Mathieu and his friends would want to subject themselves to, given the hellish nightmare that Éric led them into the last time they met.  But this is the Côte d'Azur, not Corsica.  Surely nothing can go wrong in such a safe and civilised part of France?  As the holidaymakers discovers, Éric can always be relied upon to turn a fiesta into a fiasco, whatever the location...
