In 2025, Paris reaffirms its position as the heart of the seventh art. From the cobblestone streets of Montmartre to the banks of the Seine, the city has served as the backdrop for nearly a hundred feature films and scores of TV series.
For centuries, the breathtaking beauty of the City of Light has inspired countless artists and creators. Filmmakers, in particular, have long drawn inspiration from its iconic scenery for their film shoots. By 2025, Paris will have hosted nearly 6,570 days of filming, resulting in the production of 92 feature films, 66 series, and 73 documentaries shot right in the heart of the city.
Paris ranks among the most-filmed cities in the world. To ensure a harmonious coexistence between residents and film crews, the City of Paris’s "Film Office" oversees all shooting permits. Looking ahead to 2025, the focus extends beyond volume alone — safety is a priority, marked by the introduction of a new VHSS Charter aimed at combating violence and harassment, setting Paris as a leading example in industry regulation.
Of course, many productions are French, but Paris is especially popular among international filmmakers looking to give their movies a quintessential Parisian flair. This is also true for series, some of which are set entirely in the capital — like Emily in Paris or Lupin.
