Filming in Pays de la Loire

Pays de la Loire presents a mosaic of coastal resorts, castles, and cultural attractions. In Nantes, the medieval Château des Ducs de Bretagne contrasts with contemporary installations like the mechanical elephants of Les Machines de l’Île, while Noirmoutier Island connects to the mainland via the Passage du Gois, a tidal road submerged twice daily. The Puy du Fou theme park stages spectacular historical re-enactments with thousands of volunteers, and Fontevraud Abbey, one of Europe’s largest monastic complexes, houses the tombs of Plantagenet royalty. Along the Atlantic, La Baule’s sweeping beach, lined with 1920s villas, offers both elegance and scale.

A historic timber-framed building with ornate windows and iron balconies, featuring a ground floor restaurant or cafe with large glass windows, and a street sign that reads 'Allée Cée'.

Pays de la Loire lends itself to historical re-enactments, fantasy series, road movies, culinary programs, and family entertainment. Its tidal road and mechanical animals create distinctive visual elements, while castles and abbeys provide authentic period settings. The Atlantic coastline supports beach and watersport sequences, and the region’s compact size and flat terrain make production logistics straightforward and efficient.

BARAMON schedules shoots around tidal openings at the Passage du Gois, liaises with Puy du Fou show operators, and coordinates with religious authorities at Fontevraud to ensure access and compliance with preservation rules. We also oversee regional regulatory requirements, provide translation support for local dialects, and engage historical consultants to guarantee accuracy in period productions.
