Partie de campagne (English title: A Day in the Country) is a film written and directed by the French auteur Jean Renoir in 1936. It chronicles a love affair over a single summer afternoon in 1860, along the banks of the Seine. The film is based on a short story by Guy de Maupassant, who was a friend of Renoir's father Auguste Renoir. Future leading directors Jacques Becker and Luchino Visconti worked as Renoir's assistant directors.
