SCENE 01 / SITE SURVEYS
Site Surveys & Tech Scouting
Comprehensive technical assessment and surveying of filming locations in France.
Site surveys check whether a filming spot works on the tech and logistics side. Across France, our teams review Paris's famous landmarks, the French Riviera, and the Provence countryside. We rate the light, sound, power, access routes, and safety, so your departments get the facts they need to plan smooth shoots.
We run careful site surveys across France that give your team a clear read on each spot. Our crews handle historic monument rules, Paris traffic, and busy tourist seasons. Then we log the tech specs and logistics in full reports, with photos and measurements that guide your planning and scheduling.

On Location
France technical scouting across landmarks and regions
Site surveys in France often meet hurdles unique to each area. Listed monuments fall under the watch of the Direction régionale des affaires culturelles, and crowds press in around Parisian sites like Montmartre and the Marais. Light and tourist traffic also swing by season along the Côte d'Azur and through Provence's hilltop villages. Our location experts walk each space with tech checklists honed over years on French sets, rating power capacity, ceiling heights, load-bearing points, and ambient sound. We then gather photos, video walkthroughs, and scaled plans into reports producers can hand straight to gaffers, sound mixers, and art departments.
Reports also map the real-world facts producers need before they lock a location. We note car access through Haussmann-era streets too tight for grip trucks, where to place power packs when historic buildings bar interior tie-ins, and the busy windows on the Périphérique that shift crew call times. Each report also covers weather on the Atlantic coast, the Massif Central, and the Alps. We flag mairie permit needs, neighbour notice duties, and any prefectoral sign-off tied to public-space filming. Standard delivery runs forty-eight hours. Multi-site surveys across several regions can be ready in three to five working days, with the same depth of detail.
