Sundays and Cybèle is a 1962 French drama film in Franscope, directed by Serge Bourguignon. Its original French title is Cybèle ou Les dimanches de Ville d'Avray (Cybèle or Sundays in Ville d'Avray), referring to the Ville-d'Avray suburb of Paris. The film tells the tragic story of a neglected young girl who is befriended by an innocent, but psychologically damaged, veteran of the French Indochina War. Bourguignon wrote the screenplay with Antoine Tudal, and he and Bernard Eschasseriaux, the author of the novel upon which the film is based, are credited with the dialogue.
