OUR FAVORITES
Bourg
Clinging to the cliffside overlooking the estuary, Bourg is a labyrinth of cobbled streets, vaulted passageways, and troglodyte dwellings. The citadel dominates the landscape and shelters underground passages and unsuspected industrial cavities , perfect for unique film shoots. The contrast between nature, heritage, and traces of a discreet past gives Bourg a truly rich visual appeal.
Entre-deux-Mers
Perched on the hills overlooking the Garonne, Rions and Saint-Macaire unfold their narrow streets, ramparts , ancient gates, and shaded squares. The scenery flows effortlessly. In Verdelais, the landscape opens onto vineyards and the valley, the village clustered around the sanctuary and its wooded paths. The atmosphere is more intimate, almost ethereal.
Saint-Émilion and the vineyard villages
Even though Saint-Émilion is world-renowned, it remains an exceptional setting, beyond its tourist image. Walls, a monolith, narrow sloping streets , troglodytic cellars, sweeping views over the vineyards : everything is striking, meticulously designed, both natural and steeped in history. Nearby, other villages in the Libournais region offer quieter, equally evocative alternatives.
South Gironde
In La Réole , the Garonne River flows alongside the ramparts. The old town center is a maze of half-timbered houses , staircases, and open views of the river. In Bazas, the cathedral lends a rare monumentality to the central square, bordered by arcades and ancient facades . As for Castelmoron-d'Albret, officially the smallest village in France, it packs a complete cinematic setting into just a few narrow streets: golden stone, old shops, stone staircases, and clean lines.
Filming in the village
Authorization and tracking
These villages are inhabited, lively, and sometimes sensitive to disturbance. It is essential to contact the municipalities or communities of municipalities in advance to organize reconnaissance, parking, and logistics.
The Filming Reception Office is there to facilitate these exchanges and support you through each stage of the project.
