After a year that turned Paris, its daily life and its cultural agenda upside down for several months, the municipality takes stock of 2024, from the point of view of the series and film shoots that took place there.
Contrary to what one might have thought, the capital was not deserted, and in fact managed to maintain a full schedule of film shoots. While filming was impossible for three months (from mid-June to mid-September), the municipality reports that 94 feature films have been received (compared with 98 in 2023 and 102 in 2022). In the case of series, 40 filmed a few scenes, and 91 documentaries.
The results, just released, also include the number of filming days , which was much lower than in 2023. In 2024, Paris accounted for 5708 days (1148 for films and 1021 for series), compared with 7400 days last year.
