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

23 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 24 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.
