Catering Services
On-set catering with French culinary standards — keeping global and French crews energized across each location.
Here is how this works in practice. Film catering in France reflects the country's culinary culture — crews expect and receive a higher standard of on-set dining than in most production markets. French caterers bring pro kitchen training, locally sourced ingredients, and the knowing that quality meals are integral to crew morale and productivity. French labor law mandates specific meal break schedules that caterers must accommodate precisely.
Here is the short of it. Our network has caterers skilled in feeding varied global crews at Paris studios, on Provençal location shoots, along the Côte d'Azur, and in remote Alpine settings. From craft services with French pastries and espresso to full sit-down meals showcasing regional cuisine, our providers deliver the culinary quality that French production culture demands.

On Location
On-set catering with French culinary discipline
Here is how this works in practice. French crews — and the intermittents du spectacle who staff them — treat the catering line as part of the working condition, not an afterthought. Our on-set catering partners cook with the kind of bench depth that production audiovisuelle convention collective shoots expect: trained chefs, a proper hot-meal service for crews of any scale, and steady craft tables stocked with espresso, fresh bread, regional cheese, and seasonal fruit sourced near the location, whether that location is a Paris back lot, a vineyard outside Bordeaux, a converted warehouse in Lille, or a hilltop village in the Lubéron above Marseille.
Here is the short of it. In practice, the catering team plans against the Code du travail meal-break windows that the 1st AD has built into the call sheet, holds the certifications needed by French food-hygiene law, and runs a parallel dietary track for halal, kosher, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-sensitive crew members without forcing them to queue separately. For multi-unit shoots covering Lyon, Toulouse, and the Côte d'Azur in the same week, we deploy mobile kitchens, refrigerated transport, and prep crews that scale up for crowd days at heritage locations and back down to a documentary unit's six covers without a contract rewrite.
