Paris to Bordeaux
- #ParisLookAlike -
Bordeaux, a choice alternative for playing Paris
Bordeaux boasts a unique array of settings and has positioned itself for several years as a compelling alternative to Paris. At every turn, the charm of Bordeaux's Haussmannian buildings evokes the grand boulevards of Paris. The narrow streets of Bordeaux's historic center transport us to 30s Paris, and the city center's gardens bear a striking resemblance to their counterparts in the Île-de-France region.
The cobblestone streets, the banks of the Garonne, and the lively squares of Bordeaux offer a perfect backdrop for recreating the Parisian atmosphere. The Saint Pierre, Saint Michel, and Saint Paul districts have already been used by numerous filmmakers, such as François Ozon, Rachid Bouchareb, Clément Cogitore, and Ziad Doueiri, to portray Paris in Bordeaux.
Here, the productions rediscover the markers of elegance of our beloved capital, but not only that! The business districts and urban architectures are not to be outdone.
