''A Summer's Tale'' (French: ''Conte d'été'') is 1996 French film written and directed by Creator/EricRohmer. It's the third of his ''Tales of the Four Seasons''.
Gaspard (Melvil Poupaud) has finished up his mathematics studies and decides to spend the summer on the coast of Brittany before he starts a new job. He's also a guitarist and composer and expects lots of time alone to work on his music. Instead, the somewhat shy, introverted Gaspard finds himself in a completely unexpected predicament: juggling the affection of three different women.

* {{Adorkable}}: Probably the key to Gaspard attracting so many women.
* AuthorAvatar: Rohmer admitted that much of the story is autobiographical, and that Gaspard is based on his younger self. Melvil Poupaud even studied Rohmer's physical mannerisms and included them in his performance.
* BettyAndVeronica: Solène is Veronica. Margot and Lena both have Betty qualities, even if they both claim they don't really want their relationship with Gaspard to turn romantic.
* CallBack: Some subtle ones to earlier Rohmer films.
** The Gaspard/Margot relationship is similar to Jérôme and Aurora in ''[[Film/ClairesKnee Claire's Knee]]''. That film's device of breaking up the story into daily episodes also gets recycled here.
** Margot studies ethnology, just like Mirabelle in ''Film/FourAdventuresOfReinetteAndMirabelle''.
