Lyon Filming Services
Capture the atmosphere of France's gastronomic capital with cinematic views over the Saône and Rhône, Renaissance streets, and cutting-edge districts in Confluence.
Why Film in Lyon
Lyon blends UNESCO-listed Renaissance quarters with dynamic contemporary architecture. The city delivers atmospheric riverfronts, traboules (hidden passageways), grand plazas, and modern business hubs within a compact footprint that keeps travel times short.
Our bilingual fixers coordinate permits with the Lyon Film Commission, secure exclusive interiors, and source local crews who know how to work efficiently across Vieux Lyon, Presqu'île, Croix-Rousse, and the Confluence district. We tailor every production package for commercials, documentaries, scripted projects, and live broadcasts.
