AD notes : 

The film contains several action scenes in iconic Parisian locations (Sacré-Cœur Basilica, Palace of Versailles), forcing us to minimize filming time for highly complex scenes at these sensitive tourist sites. This required the use of more substantial technical resources and close coordination between all departments.
The lead actor performs his own stunts.

Filming action scenes is always exciting because it requires a lot of work with all the teams beforehand to prepare and ensure safety. The unique aspect was filming on location at iconic Parisian sites.

We encountered a few filming permit refusals related to flying paramotors over buildings. We had to adapt to maintain the concept of filming the stunts on the sets.
Until the morning of the filming of the flight over the castle, we weren’t sure if the conditions would be suitable for flying. And they were. We only had a two-hour window for the flight and to get all the shots with the paramotor in the air.

Thank you to my fantastic AD team!
