Production Parking difficult · Permits required

Street parking extremely limited in central Paris. Underground parking available but expensive (€3-5/hour).
Production vehicle permits available through Paris Film Commission. Base camp locations arranged per project - typically use peripheral areas or private lots.
Getting Between Locations ▼
Central Paris is compact - most iconic locations within 30-min metro ride. Consider walking between nearby spots (Louvre to Palais Royal: 5 min). Rush hour (8-9am, 6-8pm) significantly impacts vehicle travel times.
