Une idylle à la ferme is a 1912 French short film written and directed by and starring Max Linder.

In this Pathé comedy, Max, an "elegant but disaster-prone man-about-town," visits a farm to meet a prospective wife at the behest of his wealthy uncle.

As a distraction, a tour of the farm is suggested, during which Max takes every opportunity to sneak away to see the maid as she performs chores such as milking the cow.

At this point, the eldest daughter rejoins the group and is angry to learn that despite her precautions, her fears were realized after all.

[1] Une idylle à la ferme premiered on 14 June 1912 in Vienna and 20 December 1912 in the US.
