SCENE 01 / LOCATION MANAGEMENT
Location Management Services
Professional on-site coordination and location supervision across France.
Location management in France covers scouting, securing, preparing, and running filming sites across a production. Our managers set up access, permits, parking, power, crowd control, and restoration. They cover sites such as Paris's Haussmann boulevards, the Provence lavender fields, and the French Riviera. Each location is made ready for filming, then returned to its original state once the shoot wraps.
We provide full location management that covers every part of your filming sites across France. Our team scouts options, arranges access, and handles logistics on shooting days. That work runs from dense urban permitting in Paris arrondissements to seasonal tourism on the Côte d'Azur. We also oversee restoration, which lets your creative team stay focused on the production itself.

On Location
On-site location management across France's filming regions
Location work in France spans the Haussmann boulevards and Marais arrondissements of Paris, the calanques of Marseille, the volcanic landscapes of the Auvergne, and the medieval bastides of the Dordogne. Our managers handle property-owner liaison, mairie permitting, voirie sign-offs for street closures, and base-camp logistics, so each unit move lands clean. We also work with the Île-de-France film commission and the regional bureaux in PACA, Occitanie, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine. That keeps access, parking, power distribution, and crowd control in line with prefectoral conditions and neighbour expectations.
On the day, we cover health and safety under French Code du travail standards, plus weather backups for Alpine or Atlantic shoots. Our team also gives 24/7 site support across split-unit schedules. We own gear staging, talent holding, traffic plans set up with city police, and the wrap. We restore private châteaux, public squares, and heritage interiors to their first condition with photographic sign-off. The result is a one hundred percent site-return record across more than a thousand locations. That protects your access for the next production and keeps the relationships that open France's most guarded settings.
