We go in search of filming locations of popular films and TV shows in France and the rest of the world.
For several years, we have been traveling around the world and visiting a lot of places. Most of the time, these are touristy places and film and series sets that marked our childhood. We remember our trip to Tunisia in 2010, way before our project, where we were able to visit Tataouine: the filming location of the Star Wars saga. It was incredible!
Our passion for film tourism has pushed us to travel more to marvel and dive into the heart of the seventh art. We are downright excited at the idea of discovering a place that we have seen in a film or a series. We have the impression of reliving the scene and being part of it!
And to think that this is exactly where our favorite actors shot a sequence from our favorite movie or series, it's crazy!

#1 John Wick: Chapter 4
This scene from John Wick 4 was shot in a disused Paris subway station. However, the real Porte des Lilas subway station looks a lot like the one they filmed in.
It is this enthusiasm that prompted us to create the Instagram account @cinevoyageuses (meaning film travelers in English) in 2021.
We watch a movie or series and capture a scene or several we like. Then, equipped with the printed screenshots, we travel to the place where it was filmed and put them back in their real location.
#2 Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones (2002)
The filming location: the most beautiful and well-known square in Seville, the Plaza de España. It is adjacent to the Maria Luisa Park, which is also a place to explore. In Star Wars, the square represents the exterior of Padmé's palace on Naboo.
#3 Friends (1994-2004)
4x05 - The One with Joey's New Girlfriend.
We have a lot of fun finding filming locations. We are like Indiana Jones in search of a treasure.
It may not be visible, but it requires a lot of research work upstream and then sometimes in the field too. It can take days to find an exact location. And once there, the most difficult thing is to put the image back at exactly the right angle.
#4 Game Of Thrones (2011-2019)
8x06 - The Iron Throne.
The filming location: We're taking you back to the Conjunto Arqueologico de Italica. We had already posted a scene framing from 7x07 there, with both episodes using the amphitheater for the needs of the series.
#5 Friends (1994-2004)
5x16 - The One with the Cop.
Depending on the weather and the difficulty of the scene, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. And since we are perfectionists and want to leave with souvenir photos, we stay put until we have THE photo.
In addition, we have noticed that in France, many fans are not helped much in finding filming locations.
#6 Stranger Things
3x08 - The Battle of Starcourt Filming location: You might have understood by now that we didn't really go to filming locations this time, BUT the temptation was too strong. We're going to show you a bit of the Stranger Things Store in Paris.
#7 The Witcher
1x03 - Betrayer Moon
Filming location: Today we're taking you to the Kreuzenstein Castle in Leobendorf, Austria. The castle was used to represent the exteriors of Vizima, the abandoned castle of Temeria.
For example, when we went to the Pierrefonds Castle in France (one of our first photo series for Ciné Voyageuses), we weren't sure which scenes from the BBC series Merlin (2008-2012) had been shot inside the castle and which had been made in a studio. We arrived with lots of printed photos and wandered in the castle buildings looking for the exact locations of the captured scenes.
#8 Game Of Thrones (2011-2019)
Episode 5x06 - Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.
The filming location: We invite you to discover the Real Alcazar of Seville, the filming location for several episodes of Game of Thrones season 5. The location takes on the appearance of the Sunspear castle, the seat of House Martell in Dorne.
#9 The Devil Wears Prada
The filming location: Do you know where the iconic scene of Andy (@annehathaway) throwing her phone into a Parisian fountain and changing the course of her life was filmed? It's the Fontaine des Fleuves at Place de la Concorde, just outside the Tuileries Gardens.
It was a real challenge for us to find the real sets from the fake ones, especially since some hallways and rooms weren't on location.
While in Seville, it was easy to find the scenes of the Netflix show Warrior Nun shot at the Real Fábrica de Tabacos, as well as those of Game of Thrones at the Conjunto Arqueológico de Itálica.
#10 Shadow And Bone
For this scene from "1x03 - The Making at the Heart of the World", we find ourselves at the Deli Rondella, which is part of the Buda Castle complex and has been used for several scenes in season 1, including this one where the fortification becomes the Grisha training ground. After Alina (@jessie_mei_li) punches Zoya (Sujaya Dasgupta), she takes revenge and throws Alina into the straw."
#11 Game Of Thrones (2011-2019)
Games of Thrones capture showing Cersei at the Conjunto Arqueológico de Itálica.
It was this kind of experience that gave us the idea to also create a blog.
So, in addition to the Instagram account, we have launched the Ciné Voyageuses blog where you can find all the necessary and useful information for traveling and discovering filming locations in France and abroad.
#12 Modern Family (2009-2020)
Season 11, Episode 13 - Paris.
Filming location: Mitchell meets Cameron on a quay of the Seine River, under the Place Louis Aragon, just below the Louis Philippe bridge. Although the bridge was easy to recognize, finding which quay was used was less easy but fortunately, there are only 2 on each side.

Filming location: Bir-Hakeim Bridge, Paris.

For 6 seasons, "Gossip Girl" was a must-see series. We could even call it a cult series for our generation. Have you ever watched "Gossip Girl"? The original, not the remake.
"Gossip Girl" filmed 2 episodes in Paris: 4x01 and 4x02. In this scene, Blair walks on the Pont des Arts with Prince Louis Grimaldi.

Filming location: Domaine Rocabella, Le Pradet.
We had the opportunity to take some photos at La Villa Rocabella (@domainerocabella) in Le Pradet. The estate hosted, among others, the second Downton Abbey movie in the summer of 2021, so of course we took advantage of the opportunity.

This scene is taken from the end of the movie "Now You See Me," known in French as "Insaisissables."
The production shot some scenes in Paris for the film. First, flashbacks at Passy Metro station to explain the Horsemen's trick in Las Vegas, and then at the end of the movie, Dylan (@markruffalo) meets Alma (Mélanie Laurent) on the Pont des Arts.

On the occasion of the release of "The Last Duel" in theaters today, we are posting a framing scene of the castle that can be seen in the trailer.
In mid-September, we had the chance to visit the Château de Fénelon, which served as a filming location for the movie.
#38 Lucy
"Lucy," is a complex movie that no one understood when it was released in theaters . The production was mainly filmed in Paris, even the interior scenes (yes, really). Here we see Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) on the Parvis des Droits de l'Homme at the Trocadéro.
#39 Shadowhunters

#57 Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015)

#58 Atomic Blonde
A filming location that was not easy to find for "Atomic Blonde" because there are courtyard buildings everywhere in Budapest.
A good portion of the film was shot in Budapest and in this scene, Lorraine (@charlizeafrica) has just killed Percival (@jamesmcavoyrealdeal) in the courtyard and is leaving.
#59 Killing Eve (2018-2022)

Accompanied by Mani, a Mohawk Indian from New France, Fronsac is quickly confronted with the hostility of the local nobles.
"Brotherhood of the Wolf"! This cult film was entirely shot in France and in several departments. Especially for this scene where Grégoire meets Marianne for the first time, it was shot at the Château de Biron in Dordogne, along with several others.

#65 Lupin
Episode 1x04 - Chapter 4.

#68 Bac Nord (2020)
Let's go to Café de l'Abbaye, where Greg (@autopromodegilleslellouche) has breakfast when they come to arrest him.
We wanted to do another scene framing in the city center, unfortunately, they are setting up an exhibition that will take place in March so we will do it next time.
#69 Camping
For this scene from Camping, we couldn't go to the exact location, so we improvised with what we had, doing it around the Arcachon Basin. In this scene, we see Michel asking if they have seen his daughter, and when they don't respond, he gets angry. However, Patrick (Franck Dubosc) had overheard Michel talking about them earlier and set him straight.
According to what we found, the beach scenes and the scene that takes place on the Bench of Arguin were filmed in La Teste-de-Buch, on the Arcachon Basin. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any more details than that. Luckily, a beach is a beach, so it's easy to do a scene framing without worrying too much about the location.
#70 Dix Pour Cent (Call My Agent)
Episode 3x02 - Monica
The filming location: In this scene, Monica Bellucci (@monicabellucciofficiel), playing herself, goes with Gabriel (@gregory_montel) to the L'Écume des Pages bookstore at 174 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris.

Part of the series was filmed at Pierrefonds Castle in the Oise region, which served as the backdrop for the legendary city of Camelot.
#76 Bronx
This scene from the Bronx was filmed in Les Goudes, it's a bit like Marseille's desert of stone even if it's located by the sea. Three scenes were shot in Les Goudes.
The Bronx is a police film that follows two rival police officers in charge of investigating a massacre, Richard Vronski (@lannick.gautry) and Mario Costa (@maaskrimoussa). The situation escalates when a key witness is murdered during his custody. And amid a gang war, Vronski and his men, to save their skin, will be forced to make heavy choices with consequences…

#81 Lupin

#82 Merlin (Bbc)
Morgana (Merlin's BBC series) on her way out of the castle encounters a suspicious witch.
#83 Spy (2015)
Spy (2015), is one of Melissa McCarthy's memorable comedies that we totally love! Susan Cooper (@melissamccarthy) is a CIA analyst and the unsung hero behind most of the agency's dangerous missions. When her field agent dies, Susan decides to go into the field to stop his killer.
Filming location: The film's most famous scene where Susan falls off the scooter is in Budapest, on the street next to the Gresham Hotel, which itself served as a filming location for the movie.
#84 Brice De Nice
Brice de Nice was a phenomenon when it was released in France. Actually, we personally consider it a classic. And we even think that there's not a person of our generation who doesn't know the famous "I broke you!"
For those who don't know, Brice de Nice is the story of a guy from Nice who is a surfer like his favorite character, Bodhi (@patrickswayzeofficial) from Point Break. He waits for the wave, his wave, in Nice!
Filming location: Welcome to the huge beach of Hossegor.
The production of Brice de Nice was mainly filmed in the South East of France (given the name, we could have guessed) but it also moved to Nouvelle Aquitaine at the same time as its hero, to Hossegor where Brice meets Igor d'Hossegor (@brunosalomoneofficiel).
#85 Taken (2008)
Filming location: 9 Avenue d'Eylau, 75016 Paris.
#86 Spoiled Brats
In this scene from the film Pourris Gâtés, we are on the forecourt of the Cathedral of the Major which is located between Le Panier and J4 where the MuCEM is located. Philippe Bartek (@artus.officiel) is driving a tuktuk and confronts another tuktuk driver who steals his clients.
This is a film that didn't do very well in France but is the most-watched non-English language film in the world on Netflix. Here's the summary: Lazy, spoiled, and party-loving, the three children of businessman Francis Bartek do nothing with their lives except spend the money their father has worked hard to earn. Tired of their behavior, he makes them believe that they are completely bankrupt, forcing them to do the unthinkable: work.
#87 The Transporter
This first framing scene is taken from the movie "The Transporter" which was filmed in the south of France.
#88 La French (2014)

#90 Camping
"Camping," the first film in a trilogy that tells the story of regulars reuniting at a campsite. However, this year, the Pics no longer have their spot at 17, the Gatineaus have their own tent, and Patrick Chirac (@fdubosc_officiel), the playboy from Dijon, is dumped by his wife. It is at this campsite that Michel Saint Josse (@gerardlanvinofficiel), a plastic surgeon in Paris, finds himself, much to his chagrin, experiencing the existential problems of a species previously unknown to him: the camper.
Filming Location: We are at the famous Camping Les Flots Bleus in Pyla-Sur-Mer, which took on the same name as the film after the success of "Camping." However, as you can see, the reception has changed quite a bit since then. Nevertheless, it doesn't stop one out of every three cars from stopping and taking photos and videos.
#91 Marvel's Agents Of S.h.i.e.l.d
Episode: 1x01 - Of Men and Gods
Filming location: Le Relais Odéon - 132 Bd Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris.
#92 Stillwater (2021)
The filming location: Muslim Square of the Saint-Pierre Cemetery.
#93 Stillwater (2021)
One of the first scenes of the movie set in Marseille takes place in front of the Palais de Justice. Bill (Matt Damon) and Maître Leparq (Anne Le Ny) discuss Allison's (@abbienormal9) letter. And why an English quote? The film is French-American and tells the story of Bill, an American who travels to Marseille to try to clear his daughter's name. In this scene, Maître Leparq speaks to Bill in English.
The first thing to know is that Stillwater is based on a true story that happened in Italy. And actually, don't expect to see a thriller as everyone says. In fact, the story mainly focuses on Bill's life in Marseille, the relationships he builds there, and the actions he takes to prove Allison's innocence. However, you will get to discover Marseille as the production is filmed in many different places in the city, from the northern neighborhoods to Les Goudes. We admit we would have liked to see the Vieux Port or Le Panier too.
#94 A Visit To My Daughter
This scene from "A Visit to My Daughter" was shot on the stairs in front of the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Church at the Vieux Port in La Ciotat. Carole (@mathildeseigneroff), Nicolas (Philippe Lebfevre), and Alain (@jeromecommandeur) try to figure out who will host Jacqueline (@josianebalaskooff, Carole and Nicolas' mother) for a few days. They end up drawing straws.
We spent the afternoon doing scene framing on the stairs, needless to say, we distracted quite a few Ciotadens but back to the film, it is the sequel to "Return to Mom" released in 2016, where Stéphanie returns to live with her mother after losing her job. In "A Visit to My Daughter", it is Jacqueline who goes to live with her other daughter, Carole, because her apartment is under renovation.
#95 Fanny (1961)
This brief but important scene takes place at La Montée des Accoules, in Le Panier. Fanny (@victoirebelezy) runs to the Bar de la Marine to tell César (@danielauteuilofficiel) that he has received a letter from Marius (@raphaelpersonnaz).
Fanny is the second part of "The Marseille Trilogy", which is the generic term given to a set of three plays written by Marcel Pagnol: Marius, Fanny, and César.
In 2013, Daniel Auteuil directed the first two parts of the trilogy: Marius and Fanny, in which he himself plays César.
Unfortunately, the films did not meet the expected success, and the third installment, César, was never made.
#96 The Night Manager
Episode 1x03 - Who are you
Filming location: Let's go have some ice cream at Puerto de Soller in Majorca.
We find Jonathan Pine (@twhiddleston) strolling around with Roper's son Daniel (Hugh Laurie). He takes the opportunity to pass on some information to Angela Burr (Olivia Colman) while they are on Carrer de la Marina, the promenade that runs along the seafront in Port de Soller, while being watched by Roper's men.
#97 Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016)
Filming location: John Taylor Cannes - 6 Rue Frédéric Amouretti, 06400 Cannes.
#98 Plan B
#99 Plan B
We're back to the Vieux Port, but this time on Quai du Port, in front of the Hôtel de Ville. Several scenes from Plan B were shot here. All of these scenes involve Florence (@juliedebona) being with her daughter Lou (@kimhigelin) or her mother, and enjoying an ice cream facing Notre Dame de la Garde.
With Plan B, we enter the realm of science fiction, which is still a genre that French television rarely explores.
