Locations in France

The 120 most notable are above. Every place in France, A to Z, with how many productions each carries:

Set in France, not filmed there

15 more places in France appear on this atlas because a game, an anime or a manga is SET there. Nothing was filmed at them: a drawn or rendered work is filmed nowhere, and some of these places are invented and pinned on what Wikidata says they are based on.

Also shot in France, without a precise location

Wikidata records 37 more productions as shot in France while naming only the country or the state: true, and too coarse to pin, so they are named here rather than dropped or guessed at.

Also named as shot in France by their Wikipedia articles

30 productions name France in their Wikipedia articles as where they were shot, without a place inside it, so they are listed here rather than pinned or dropped.

Productions filmed in France

2,448 more productions are listed on the pages of the places above.
