Filming Commercials in Marseille: Your Complete Guide to Production Success

Marseille is fast becoming one of France’s most in-demand destinations for filming commercials shoots, thanks to its Mediterranean light, urban diversity, and vibrant creative scene. If you’re considering filming in Marseille, here’s everything you need to know to make your production smooth, compliant, and visually stunning.

Why Choose Marseille for Your Commercial Shoot?

• Unique mix of historic and modern architecture, from the Old Port to La Joliette

• Mild, sunny climate most of the year, perfect for outdoor shoots

• Diverse locations: beaches, city streets, industrial backdrops, and hillside vistas

• Large, experienced local crew base and excellent equipment suppliers

Permits and Local Regulations

• All public filming in Marseille requires a permit from the city. Applications should be made well in advance, especially for busy areas or large-scale shoots.

• For private venues (cafés, hotels, villas), get written permission from the owner and check if city permits are still required for access or parking.

Local Crew and Community
