Paris: top 10 filming locations for Call my agent

The Westin is a recurring location in the series, whether for business meals, meetings between agents or photo shoots like in the first episode with Cecile de France. The scenes take place in this hotel offering an exceptional view from its rooms on the Eiffel Tower or the Tuileries garden. $1,200,000 is the average cost of an episode of the series.

Ramzy Bedia and Virginie Efira answer an interview about their film Nos Petits Mensonges in this famous cinema which welcomes a million spectators each year and whose largest room can contain 2,700 people. Originally, 5,000 spectators were to be able to watch a projection in a single room with a ceiling of more than 30 m, representing a luminous starry vault. Eventually, the number of seats was reduced to an equally gargantuan 3,300.

The apartment of Andréa Martel (Camille Cottin), an art agent for the ASK agency, is located in this building built in 1650. It is also in this street that Napoleon Bonaparte lived in 1790. In those days, houses did not have numbers… When he came to power, the emperor decided to change this by decree in 1805 according to a system based on the Seine: for the streets parallel to it, the numbers start at the entrance of the street upstream of the river and then follow an increasing order in the direction of the watercourse by placing the even numbers on the right and the odd ones on the left. For streets perpendicular or oblique to the river, the numbering begins at the entrance closest to the water.

Camille (Fanny Sidney) and Hervé (Nicolas Maury) have lunch together in the Jardin des Tuileries. The young woman worries about what others think, now that they know she is Mathias’ (Thibault de Montalembert) daughter. The Tuileries garden takes its name from the old palace, itself named after the presence of a tile factory established on this site until 1564.

It is in front of the famous building of the Ministry of Economy and Finance in Bercy that Andrea (Camille Cottin) meets up with one of her exes, Clément (Robert Plagnol), to ask him for a favor following an imminent tax audit at the Agency, but also that Mathias (Thibault de Montalembert) accompanies Audrey Fleurot for her tax stories. All episodes of the series are inspired by real events. The actors and actresses involved do not appear on screen, but Dominique Besnehard, one of the creators of the series and ex-agent to the stars, confirms that each of the stories did indeed happen, including the episode on the tax center. “I happened to accompany Béatrice Dalle to settle her tax affairs at Bercy. The guy who received us asked Beatrice: ‘What do you have?’ She had this response worthy of Arletty: ‘Everything is in my bag!“.
