Filming in Marseille & Provence

Production services for international film and TV in Marseille, Provence, the Camargue and the Alps, from our Marseille headquarters.

Our home base in the South of France

Meadow Pictures is headquartered in Marseille. Région Sud is France’s second filming region, with more than 5,000 shooting days a year, and it doubles for the Mediterranean, North Africa, the American West and more.

Marseille

Old Port, Le Panier, the Calanques, industrial docks and modern architecture: one city that plays many others. We recently ran a second-unit shoot in Marseille for 12.12.12 (Skydance for Apple TV).

Provence and the Camargue

Lavender fields, hill villages, vineyards, salt marshes and white horses, all within a short drive of our office.

The Alps

Snow, peaks and mountain roads in the Southern Alps, reachable from Marseille in a few hours.

Stages

Provence Studios in Martigues offers 22 hectares of stages and backlots about 20 minutes from Marseille Provence airport; Marseille’s Belle de Mai hosts further studios.

Why base a shoot in the South

Light, varied landscapes and lower costs than Paris, with the same tax rebate and an experienced local crew base.

Local crews

We hire from the South’s own crew base, which limits travel and accommodation costs.

Regional support

We work with the Région Sud film commission and its network of local commissions on locations and permits.

TRIP

Spend in the South qualifies for France’s 30% rebate, 40% with more than €2M of French VFX spend.
