Paris - Location Scouts, Fixers and Managers

"Hello! I’m Gilles — fixer, location scout, and location manager — working in the production world for over 20 years.

Based in the Paris area, close to Normandy and Brittany, I regularly work across the whole of France — from the Alps to the Pyrenees, including the Massif Central, and from Strasbourg to the Atlantic coast, covering cities like Lyon and Bordeaux.

Thanks to my experience and network of contacts, I can handle permitting efficiently — quickly and at the best rates.

I constantly update my location database with new spots from all around France: roads, modern buildings, and of course, every type of landscape the country has to offer.

Col de Turini, Verdon, Toulon, Marseille, Monaco, Burgundy, Brittany, Strasbourg, Lyon, Deauville, and Paris have all recently been scouted, permitted, and managed for clients including Citroën, Bugatti, Škoda, Volkswagen, Polestar, Liu Jo, Hermès, YSL, Nike, TikTok, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Uniqlo, and many more.

Feel free to check out my references or ask the producers, DoPs, and photographers I collaborate with. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’ve got a project in mind — I’ll suggest ideas, find the most suitable location, the best possible crew, and top suppliers to make it happen."
