Filming on the French Riviera
Video production in Cannes, Nice, Monaco and Saint-Tropez
The French Riviera brings together the Croisette and the Palais des Festivals, the Lérins Islands, the red rocks of the Esterel, Cap d'Antibes, Old Nice, Monte-Carlo and the beaches of Saint-Tropez, not to mention the villas and palace hotels of the hinterland, from Mougins to Grasse. A light that draws film crews from all over the world, provided you know its rules.
Based in Cannes, our audiovisual agency chooses the locations, the time of day and the season with you, and knows the restricted zones for drones.

FAQ
Your questions about video production
How much does a corporate video cost in Cannes?
A short film with a light set-up (interview, presentation, social media content) starts at €1,500 excl. VAT. A full production with director, DoP, sound, drone and post-production ranges from €5,000 to €20,000 excl. VAT. Advertising campaigns with actors and several films are quoted individually. We send a detailed quote within 24 working hours.
How long does it take to produce a film?
Preparation depends mainly on permits and casting: from a few days to a few weeks. After the shoot, allow 7 to 15 working days of post-production for a 1 to 3-minute film.
Can you deliver an event video within 24 or 48 hours?
Yes. At events, we deliver a short version within 24 to 48 hours for your social media, followed by the full film.
Do you work in Nice, Monaco, Antibes and Saint-Tropez?
Yes. Based in Cannes for 10 years, our team regularly films in Monaco, Nice, Antibes, Saint-Tropez and across the French Riviera. We handle filming permits and travel.
Do you need a permit to film in Cannes or Monaco?
Yes, as soon as a crew films in a public space. Allow around 20 days in Cannes and 15 days in Monaco (a month for fiction). We prepare and file the applications for you.
Can you film with a drone?
Yes. Much of the French Riviera is a restricted zone (airports, Monaco, city centres): we check every location and take care of the formalities. Allow around 10 days for an authorisation, so plan ahead.
Looking for a videographer in Cannes?
Our videographers are based in Cannes and film across the French Riviera, from Monaco to Saint-Tropez. For a simple shoot (interview, event, social media content), one videographer with their kit is often enough, and our team handles the editing. For a more ambitious film, we bring together the full crew of an audiovisual agency: directing, camera, sound, lighting, drone and post-production.
What is the difference between a freelance videographer and a production company?
A freelance videographer shoots and edits alone. A production company brings together the right team for the project (directing, camera, sound, lighting, drone, make-up, editing, colour grading), handles permits, production management and equipment, and commits to the result.
Who owns the rights to the video?
The usage rights for the film (media, duration, territories) are set out in the quote according to how you will use it. The music is chosen accordingly, and actors' rights are negotiated for the same scope.
Do you deliver versions in English and for social media?
Yes. Our team is bilingual: interviews, voice-overs and subtitles in English and French. We deliver 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 formats and short versions for each network.
Do you have a film studio?
Yes, a 70 m² studio in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, a few minutes from Cannes, equipped for interviews, product films and backdrop shoots. We also film on location, in villas, hotels or on board yachts.
