France in American Films
"There is Paramount Paris and Metro Paris and of course the real Paris. Paramount's is the most Parisian of all." (Ernst Lubitsch)
A high number of American films take place, either entirely or in part, in France. Some were filmed on location, others in studio, and even some in other countries.
Here is an attempt at listing them. Please note: in the descriptives, the "location" section refers to where the action takes place, not where it was filmed. This information, when available, can be found in the "notes" section.
If you know of an American film that takes place in France and is not included in this list, please send us a note at ircfrance@state.gov. Thank you.
