Filming in Occitanie

Occitanie spans from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean, combining monumental heritage with striking natural scenery. Carcassonne’s double-walled citadel ranks among Europe’s best-preserved fortresses, while the Pont du Gard aqueduct showcases the ingenuity of Roman engineering. Toulouse’s pink-brick Place du Capitole and its aviation legacy add urban character, and Nîmes’ Roman arena continues to host events within ancient walls. In the Pyrenees, the Cirque de Gavarnie creates a natural amphitheater where waterfalls tumble from dramatic cliffs, offering a cinematic blend of history and landscape.

Occitanie provides settings for films spanning ancient Rome, medieval Europe, Westerns, and mountaineering epics. Its Mediterranean coastline supports beach and harbor sequences, while the Pyrenees offer rugged backdrops for adventure narratives and stories of historical resistance. The region’s Occitan language and culture add authenticity and depth to period pieces, grounding productions in a strong sense of place.

BARAMON collaborates with UNESCO site managers, negotiates with national park authorities, and secures mountain guides to ensure safe filming near cliffs and waterfalls. We manage permits in both French and Occitan when required and align production schedules with major regional events such as the Feria de Nîmes, balancing access with cultural sensitivity.
