Paris (and Beyond) Filming Locations for Lupin (Seasons 1 to 3)
Mr. Misadventures and I just binged-watched the latest rendition of the classic French character, Arséne Lupin, the gentleman thief featured in Maurice Leblanc novels. It's called Lupin. One of the things we most enjoyed was spotting the locations where they filmed the series, which I am sharing here! It's kind of a hobby of ours whenever we watch anything filmed in Paris. We have been there so many times (50+ trips) that we make it a competition between the two of us.
In the very modern Lupin series on Netflix (in French with English subtitles), Omar Sy plays Assane Diop, a man with his own history with Arséne Lupin. I adore Omar Sy! Americans might recognize him from Jurassic World (from 2015 he was the co-trainer of Chris Pratt, he is also slated for the 2022 Jurassic World: Dominion); Call of the Wild (2020 with Harrison Ford), or you may recognize his voice as the hot rod in Transformers: The Last Knight (2017 with Mark Whalberg) but you might not be aware that the film The Upside with Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston is based on the French film Intouchables starring Omar Sy and François Cluzet.

But I love Omar from further back when I used to live in France in the oughts. He used to star in mini-episodes of SAV (Service après-vente des émissions), along with Fred Testot, which were absolutely hilarious! (Here is a mash-up on YouTube) French aren’t known for their customer service, and these skits based on customer service calls mercilessly made fun of that fact in never-ending ways! So glad to see him starring in his own show.
But you didn’t come here for my fan rave about Omar Sy! You came to find out where Lupin was filmed. So let's explore the film locations for the French Netflix series!
On y va (let’s go!)
Quick update: this guide now covers Seasons 1, 2, and 3, and I have added what we know so far about Season 4, which lands on Netflix on October 23, 2026. If Season 3 is what brought you here, scroll down to the Season 3 sections below. Season 3 first aired in October 2023, and it is the most Paris-heavy chapter yet.
Table of Contents
Season 1: Episode 1/Chapter 1

Here are the locations that show up in episode 1. Several of them show up in other episodes as well.
The Louvre
A large portion of the first episode takes place in the world's (largest) most famous museum, the Louvre. This was easy, and it's equally easy to find! The Louvre is on the Right Bank side of the Seine right next to the Tuileries Garden (Jardin des Tuileries) and 2 blocks from one of my favorite Parisian hotels (and a secret bathroom spot), the Westin. The cast got to spend the night in the Louvre to film the episode, and Omar Sy spent 20 minutes alone with the Mona Lisa- what a bonus!
Address: Rue de Rivoli in the 1st arrondissement.
L’Appartement Restaurant
During the first episode, Assane meets his ex-wife (it's unclear if they are divorced or just separated), Claire, in a restaurant called L’Appartement. Through the window, you can see the arch of the Porte Saint-Martin.
Address: on the corner of 2 streets: 2 Et 4 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin and 96 Rue René Boulanger in the 10th arrondissement.
Conservatoire de Montreuil
(Thanks to a reader for asking about this one!) Right after his coffee with Claire, Assane visits the guys he owes money to. You see him walking across a blacktop past the very unique entrance to the Conservatoire de Montreuil, a music and dance hall with live events constructed in 1976. The building is located in Montreuil outside of Paris.
Address: 13 Avenue de la Résistance, Montreuil.

Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen
Assane's best friend (and fence), Benjamin, has a shop in Paris's most famous flea market, which is technically not in Paris but a little outside. Ben's shop is in Marché Biron. You can get to it via the Metro (Line 4 to Porte de Clignancourt).
Address: Rue des Rosiers, Saint-Ouen.
Nissim de Camondo Museum
The Pellegrini family's hôtel particulier could be in a few spots in the city of Paris – my guess had been in the hills of Montmartre, but the scenes from the mansion are actually a museum, the Nissim de Camondo Museum of decorative arts near Parc Monceau.
Address: 63 Rue de Monceau in the 8th arrondissement (although the Parc Monceau is technically in the 17th).
Pont des Arts
At the end of the first episode, Assane gives his son Raoul a book. It was the same Arséne Lupin novel that his father had given him before he died. He gives him the book as they are walking over the Pont des Arts bridge. This bridge also has a prominent role in my beloved Sex and the City Paris.
Address: in the 6th arrondissement along the Seine.
Season 1: Episode 2/Chapter 2

The story continues with more scenes with the Pellegrini family. It also revisits locations mentioned in episode 1. Here are the locations that show up in episode 2.
Luxembourg Garden
This is where Assane meets Juliette Pellegrini to discuss the stolen necklace. We start to get the hint of a past relationship between these two that comes up a few times in the series and might have implications in the next season. Also in a flashback with his father, you see a young Assane walking on top of a fountain before the rain starts, and they run into Mrs. (Anne) Pellegrini. That fountain is the Fontaine de l’Observatoire, also in Luxembourg Garden.
Address: the Luxembourg Garden is in the 6th arrondissement and has several entrances: Place Edmond Rostand, Place André Honnorat, Rue Guynemer, and Rue de Vaugirard.
Hôtel Le Meurice
(Thanks to a reader for providing this!) This is the hotel where Anne Pellegrini lives. You can see the logo on the glass doors or windows behind Juliette Pellegrini's head when she was speaking with the front desk about getting a message. It is near Place Vendome and very close to the Westin, where Mr. Misadventures and I have often stayed. I've walked by it a million times, and I think this is where they filmed it.
Address: 228 Rue de Rivoli in the 1st arrondissement.
Season 1: Episode 3/Chapter 3
Here are the locations that show up in episode 3.
Mairie de Paris Centre/Mairie du 3ème
Despite Paris being a single city, it is, as you know, made up of arrondissements. Every arrondissement has a mairie, or City Hall. The city hall for the 3rd arrondissement, where Assane goes to encounter Commissaire Dumont, is on Rue Eugène Spuller, right across the street from the lovely Square du Temple – Elie Wiesel. Surveillance footage the police review shows Rue Perrée, a side street that the city hall exits on as well.
Address: 2 Rue Eugène Spuller in the 3rd arrondissement.
Season 1: Episode 5/Chapter 5

(There weren't any “new” locations in Episode 4). Through the first few episodes, I was convinced that Assane lived in the 9th or 10th arrondissement because of some of the views near his “apartment” of Sacré-Cœur. I now have confirmation of that! His home is at 1 place d’Anvers, which is the 9th!
Garage d'Abbeville
The street that Assane turns on after descending the stairs on his way to meet Claire and Raoul for Raoul's birthday surprise is the Rue d'Abbeville. He realizes he is being followed and runs into the Garage d'Abbeville and through the parking levels to the roof, where we see beautiful rooftop views and Sacré-Cœur before Assane climbs up and makes his escape.
Address: 5 Rue d'Abbeville, 10th arrondissement.
Rue de Rivoli
In another flashback, we see a younger Assane deploying his most gentlemanly charms on a rich older lady (fully decked out in a Chanel suit) who lives on the Rue de Rivoli. This is right down the street from the Westin and Angelina's and across the street from the Louvre.
Address: On Rue de Rivoli near the Louvre in the 1st arrondissement.
The Train to Le Havre
In the final episode of season 1, Assane surprises his son Raoul with a trip to Étretat. To get there from Paris, they had to take the SNCF train from Paris St-Lazare station to Le Havre. While on the train, Assane talks about the Château de Fréfossé (also known as Le Fort de Fréfossé), which no longer exists but is featured in the Arséne Lupin novel The Hollow Needle.
Le Havre SNCF Station
When the Diop family gets to Le Havre, Assane has a little surprise for the man that he encountered on the train (the same bad guy in the chase scene on the Rue d'Abbeville). We see Assane and the unsuspecting villain at the SNCF station in Le Havre.
Address: 12 Rue Magellan in Le Havre.
Pont Morland
Just before the final scenes of the 5th episode and season finale of Lupin, we see Assane and Claire walking on a bridge in the early evening, discussing the due date of their baby, which happens to be December 11, or the birthday of the author of the series, Maurice Leblanc. You can see the light on top of the Bastille in the scene. That bridge is one of the oldest parts of the Canal Saint-Martin, built in the 1800s.
Address: between the 4th and 12th arrondissements by the Port de l’Arsenal (boat basin) between the Seine and the Place de la Bastille.
Étretat

The final scenes take place in Étretat in Normandy. We have visited, and it is lovely. The beautiful, highly photographed cliffs are a popular spot to visit given their proximity to Paris.
As mentioned above, the Hollow Needle famously took place here, and there is a museum dedicated to Arsène Lupin called Le Clos Arsène Lupin. You can also buy Arsène Lupin paraphernalia in town.
Address: (For the museum) 15 Rue Guy de Maupassant in Étretat.
For season 2, I thought the first 2 episodes were a bit slow, but as the chapters continued, the story gained momentum! Mr. Misadventures and I had such a great time playing detective on our own, figuring out some of these locations! We really relied on our knowledge of Paris for clues.
Mr. Misadventures lived in Paris as a student and visited there often after moving away for work. And together, Mr. Misadventures and I have been to Paris more than 50 times, and counting! Shows as Lupin keep us sharp!
Season 2: Episode 1/Chapter 6
Season 2 opens where Season 1 ended, searching for Raoul in Etretat. A magical spot on the coast of Normandy. We don't stay there long, as Assane quickly leaves the area with Guedira (who Assane nicknames “Ganimard ” after Inspector Justin Ganimard, who was often pitted against Lupin) to search for his son.
As the episode continues, flashbacks from 1995 when Assane, Ben, and Claire were in school (Collège de la Maison d’Education de la Légion d’Honneur Les Loges, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye) begin to be woven into the story. The first time they flash back to 1995, they show the Pont Alexandre in the 8th arrondissement before moving onto a scene with Assane and Ben.

Returning to Normandy, Léonard stops to make a call in Bourneville (in reality they filmed in Les Essarts-le-Roi, Yvelines near Paris and just 30 minutes from Versailles!). He goes into a bar (or the Café de la Mairie in Essarts-le-Roi) to use the telephone and leaves, quickly followed by Assane and Guedira.
They leave the village of Bourneville, narrowly miss getting hit by a TGV train as they search for Léonard, who has stopped at an abandoned hunting lodge (chateau). This part of Normandy has lots of forests, including Forêt Domaniale de Brotonne and Forêt de Londe-Rouvray, so it's not surprising that there would be a weekend hunting home. Since they filmed in Yvelines, I haven't been able to determine where this home is.

Atelier Sandrine Raffin Archetiers
Flashback to 1995 and to scenes at the Lorenzo Archetiers (violin) shop. This is actually the Atelier Sandrine Raffin Archetiers shop. It looks exactly the same; they just changed the name.
Address: 68 Rue de Rome in the 8th arrondissement.
Travel photography
Best Spots Eiffel Tower Photos Ebook
Are you looking for the best spots to take a stunning Eiffel Tower photo in Paris? Look no further! This ebook is designed to be your one-stop guide for taking those breathtaking Eiffel Tower shots throughout the city.
Season 2: Episode 2/Chapter 7
In episode 2 we return to the Pellegrini house or hôtel particulier which is actually a museum, Nissim de Camondo Museum of decorative arts near Parc Monceau.
Address: 63 Rue de Monceau in the 8th arrondissement (although the Parc Monceau is technically in the 17th).
I have no idea where the gas station the police stop to get gas (and where Assane escapes) is. Happy to have someone share if they are local to the area and know it!

Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme
We then transition from the cops in the car to Paris and see an aerial view of Île Saint Louis. And head to the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme a spot I have walked by many times while staying at The Westin Paris – Vendôme which is right down the street! This is where the rehearsal for the Foundation Pellegrini event is taking place, as well as the event later.
Address: 5 Rue de la Paix in the 2nd arrondissement.
We then see a view of Sacré-Cœur (in the 18th arrondissement) and transition to Assane Diop's house. Then a street scene driving by the Opéra Garnier (Palais Garnier) in the 9th arrondissement (as the song “I Can See Clearly Now plays in the background, love that song!).
Then a flash to the TGV as Claire rides it back to Paris (from Le Havre). She meets up with Ben in Palais Royal right near the Grand Vefour restaurant (where I've had an incredible meal and dessert sitting at Victor Hugo's booth!) in the 1st arrondissement.
Season 2: Episode 3/Chapter 8
Au Roi du Café
Episode 3 opens with Assane and Ben sitting at a terrace. This bistro, with orange tables, is Au Roi du Café in Saint Ouen, near the flea market where Ben has a shop. You get a peek at the fun mural at Sur Le Pouce (58 Rue Jules Vallès), a fast-food restaurant near the cafe, and the Nova radio station building.
Address: 32 Rue Paul Bert, Saint-Ouen, France 93400.
Then we see the beautiful top floors of a building. It took Mr, Misadventures a solid hour to find that building, which is across the street from La Bourse (16 Place de la Bourse) in the 2nd arrondissement. It is near Vaudeville Brasserie on the corner of Rue Vivienne (where you can also find the Galerie Vivienne, a beautiful passage in Paris) and Rue de la Bourse.
Address: 29 Rue Vivienne in the 2nd arrondissement.

We quickly move to Guedira, grabbing a cup of coffee on Sunday in Soho, where he gets a text from Assane asking him to meet him at Place Dauphine.
Address: 7 Rue Saint-Marc in the 2nd arrondissement.
Flashback to 1995 again, and you see Assane and Ben hustling at cards on the Quai de Seine (near the Square du Vert Galant). Assane then runs into Juliette at Pont Neuf. This bridge appears in several episodes in season 2; it is significant to Assane and Juliette's history.
Café Prunier Victor Hugo
Back to the present, where Assane and Juliette dine at an art deco restaurant called Café Prunier.
Address: Café Prunier Victor Hugo is located at 16 Avenue Victor Hugo near Avenue Foch in the 16th arrondissement.
They have dinner and then skip out on the tab along Avenue Foch, passing by the Jardin d'Avenue Foch, then the Arc de Triomphe, and then along the Quai again to Pont Neuf. And finally to a gated courtyard (a hotel?) that I haven't figured out yet where Assane drops off Juliette.
Claire stops by Ben's store in Marché Biron and introduces Ben to her new boyfriend, Marc. He buys a bracelet for Claire. Then we see Juliette working in the Orsay museum where she runs into Assane. [I love the Orsay museum located in the 7th arrondissement and highly recommend a visit and a tour, especially if you are heading out to Giverny.] As Assane leaves Juliette, he passes a painting by Pissarro called “The Seine and The Louvre.”
Address: Paris Flea Market (Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen), 99 Allée des Rosiers, 93400 Saint-Ouen. For Musée d'Orsay: 1 Rue de la Légion d'Honneur.

Buttes-Chaumont
After Juliette discovers the Pissarro in her office, she meets Assane in the Buttes-Chaumont park in the 19th arrondissement. This gorgeous residential park has a waterfall and a lake, plus gorgeous city views. It is the perfect spot for a picnic in Paris!
After a quick flashback to Pont Neuf and a scene where Assane steals Claire's bracelet, you see Assane and Juliette meet at the Temple de la Sybille, a Roman-style monument at the highest point in Buttes-Chaumont Park. It's perched 165 feet above the lake, and it offers stunning panoramic views of Paris.
Address: 1 Rue Botzaris in the 19th arrondissement.
Juliette returns to the Hôtel Le Meurice, where her mother, Anne Pelligrine, lives.
Address: 228 Rue de Rivoli in the 1st arrondissement.

Place Delphine
Anne meets Guedira in Place Delphine. This is a spot Mr. Misadventures and I return to every trip to Paris. I love it here! Place Delphine is a square in the middle of residential buildings (there are stores and restaurants on the bottom floor as well) located near the western end of the Île de la Cité. I think the café is Le Dauphin.
Address: 20 Place Dauphine in the 1st arrondissement.
The night scenes include Juliette along the Seine at Pont Neuf and Ben calling from the inside of Au Roi du Café.
Season 2: Episode 4/Chapter 9
Tribunal Judiciaire de Paris
The opening scene shows the Tribunal Judiciaire de Paris, an architectural wonder in the center of the aerial view in the 17th arrondissement. That is the building that looks like it has 3 boxes stacked on top of each other. The skyline view transitions to scenes near the court, where a businessman is “mugged” for his briefcase, near Parc de Clichy Batignolles (Martin Luther King Park) at 147 Rue Cardinet.
Address: Parvis du tribunal in the 17th arrondissement.

Square of Saint-Jacques Tower
After the scene where the police question Claire, you see Assane talking on his phone with this tower in the background. The Square of Saint-Jacques Tower/Tour Saint-Jacques is behind him as he walks up Rue Nicholas Flamel towards his home, where he is going to meet Ben and J'accuse.
Address: 39 Rue de Rivoli, in the 4th arrondissement.
1 place d’Anvers
Assane meets Ben at the entryway to his home located at 1 place d’Anvers. Ben leaves, and Assane cooks a meal for J'accuse. During meal prep, bad guy Pascal Oblet enters the home, murders Léonard, and then makes a “911” call reporting the crime. He tells the police the address is “12 Avenue Trudaine,” but that is not really his apartment (although that address is nearby).
Assane calls Ben to tell him the gig is up and that he needs to leave asap. We later see him talking on the phone on the street. He is no longer in Saint-Ouen, but rather the area around Bercy Village. It took us a bit of time to find this! But the sign behind Ben as he walks down the stairs towards the bus stop says the Avenue des Terroirs de France, which gave us a clue!

The Catacombs
Flashback to 1995, and we see Ben and Assane walking up the stairs of the Denfert Rochereau metro station (exit 1, Place Denfert Rochereau for the catacombs), headed towards the Catacombs of Paris.
Address: 1 Avenue du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy in the 14th arrondissement.
We then see the two of them in their storage unit, but the police catch up to them, and they escape into the catacombs following a map they've kept since they were boys, which leads them to a secret exit at Maison de Solenn at 97 Boulevard de Port-Royal.
Théâtre du Châtelet
The episode ends with Assane and Ben sitting on the Pont au Change facing the Théâtre du Châtelet where the Foundation Pellegrini fundraising event will take place the next day.
Address: 2 Rue Edouard Colonne in the 1st arrondissement.
Season 2: Episode 5/Chapter 10
Bibliothèque de l’Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art

The final episode opens with Assane and Ben walking through the Bibliothèque de l’Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art. They are in the Labrouste Room, which is supposed to hold the largest collection of Arsène Lupin books. They are looking for the perfect candidate to help them in their con/ruse. They spend quite a bit of time there before Stefan Crepon, who plays Philippe Courbet, shows up. (Stefan also played in The Bureau/Le Bureau des Légendes as César, a series I loved!)
Address: 58 Rue de Richelieu in the 2nd arrondissement.
The last episode centers around the event at Théâtre Châtelet, and when it is all said and done, Assane asks Claire and Raoul to meet him at Passerelle Mornay, where the final scene takes place.

Season 3 in Paris
Part 3 finally arrived in October 2023, and it is the most Paris-heavy chapter yet, sweeping from the jewelers of Place Vendôme up to Montmartre and into the grand reading rooms of the Bibliothèque Nationale. Here are the real places you can go and stand exactly where Assane stood.
Place Vendôme and the Colonne Vendôme
Address: Place Vendôme, 1st arrondissement
This glittering square stands in for the Maison Everlin jewelry house, dressed up for Christmas, and it is where Assane meets Benjamin at the foot of the Colonne Vendôme. Ringed by the Ritz and the great names of French jewelry, it is worth a slow evening stroll when all the windows are lit. It sits in the 1st arrondissement, a short walk from the Westin and Le Meurice you already know from earlier seasons.

Palais Royal (Cour d'Honneur)
Address: Place du Palais-Royal, 1st arrondissement
The Palais Royal turns up again in Season 3, this time in the opening chapter where Assane and Claire meet under its covered walkways. The striped Buren columns in the courtyard and the quiet arcaded gardens just behind them are one of my favorite hidden corners in the middle of the city, and they are completely free to wander.
Père-Lachaise Cemetery
Address: 16 Rue du Repos, 20th arrondissement
Assane and Benjamin explore the cobbled lanes here with a dog in Chapter 2. Paris's most famous cemetery is a genuinely lovely place to walk, with the graves of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, and Edith Piaf tucked among the ivy. Grab a map at the entrance so you do not get hopelessly lost.

Sacré-Cœur and the Montmartre carousel
Address: 35 Rue du Chevalier de la Barre, 18th arrondissement
Montmartre turns up more than once in Season 3, from the vintage carousel at the foot of the hill to the white domes of the basilica up top. We caught glimpses of Sacré-Cœur in the earlier seasons, but here it gets its moment. Climb up for one of the best free views in Paris, then slip into the lanes behind the church in the 18th arrondissement, where it is far quieter than the crowded steps out front.
Learn more about the carousels in Paris in my full guide on the topic!

Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Richelieu (the Oval Room)
Address: 5 Rue Vivienne, 2nd arrondissement
Season 3 makes glorious use of the Richelieu library again, this time including the breathtaking Salle Ovale with its glass canopy and rings of golden arches. Here is the timely part: after a long renovation, the Oval Room reopened to the public, and you can now walk straight in for free, which was not true when I first wrote this post. It pairs perfectly with the Labrouste reading room from Season 2 just around the corner.
Saint-Étienne-du-Mont and the Panthéon
Address: Place Sainte-Geneviève, 5th arrondissement
In Chapter 3 Assane waits outside the church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont, just steps from the domed Pantheon. Film fans may know these same church steps from Midnight in Paris. The whole hilltop is a rewarding wander in the Latin Quarter, so give yourself time to poke around.
Galeries Lafayette and the Palais Garnier finale
Address: 40 Boulevard Haussmann, 9th arrondissement
The finale sweeps through the 9th arrondissement, from Claire slipping out at the Chaussee d'Antin metro to the sweeping staircase of the Palais Garnier opera house on the Place de l'Opéra (which you may remember driving past back in Season 2). Ride up to the Galeries Lafayette rooftop for a free panorama, then cross the boulevard to admire the opera house.
The Westin Paris
Address: 3 Rue de Castiglione, 1st arrondissement (currently closed for renovation until 2028)
My beloved Westin, just off the Rue de Rivoli and around the corner from Place Vendome, turns up in a Season 3 scene too. Mr. Misadventures and I have stayed here more times than I can count, and it is a lovely spot to duck in for a drink and soak up the Belle Époque grandeur, even if you are not booking a room.

A few lighter Season 3 mentions to round things out: the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées in the 8th feature in the motorbike sequences, and Rue Japy in the 11th is where the journalist Fleur corners Claire and Raoul.
Season 3 Beyond Paris
Because Lupin never stays put, Season 3 also heads out of the city, and since this guide has always gone beyond Paris to Étretat and Le Havre, these belong right alongside them.
Château de Thoiry
Address: Château de Thoiry, Thoiry (Yvelines), about 45 minutes west of Paris
The manor and its famous hedge maze host the tense chase in Chapter 4. Thoiry combines a Renaissance chateau with a safari park, so it makes a genuinely fun day out from the city, especially if you are traveling with kids.
Notre-Dame de la Garde, Marseille
Address: Rue Fort du Sanctuaire, Marseille
An early Season 3 flashback takes us south to Marseille and its hilltop basilica, the golden Bonne Mère watching over the whole city. If you are pairing Paris with the south of France, it is a gorgeous stop to work in.
Montreuil (Croix de Chavaux)
Address: Centre Commercial Croix de Chavaux, Montreuil
Just east of Paris, the Croix de Chavaux area of Montreuil stands in for a scene where the police team waits it out. It keeps the Montreuil thread going from the Conservatoire de Montreuil back in Season 1.
Season 4 Is Coming (October 23, 2026)
Part 4 lands on Netflix on October 23, 2026, with eight episodes, and yes, Assane is back in Paris. Filming has already wrapped. The full location list will not be confirmed until closer to release, but here is what is known so far, and I will update this section as soon as the details are verified.
- Filming was spotted around Rue Beethoven in the 16th arrondissement.
- Several scenes were shot in the 1st and 2nd arrondissements near the Banque de France, on streets including Rue Croix des Petits-Champs, Rue La Vrillière, and Rue du Colonel Driant.
- One widely shared sequence shows Omar Sy, in Assane’s trademark long trench coat, riding a horse through the streets of Paris.
Consider these filming sightings rather than confirmed on-screen locations until the episodes air. Check back after October 23, and I will have the full Season 4 map for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where was Lupin filmed in Paris?
Lupin was filmed at real Paris locations including the Louvre, the Pont des Arts, Place Vendome, the Palais Royal, Pere-Lachaise Cemetery, and the Bibliothèque Nationale at Richelieu, plus spots beyond Paris such as Etretat in Normandy. Almost all of them are places you can visit.
Can you visit the Lupin filming locations?
Yes, the great majority of Lupin locations are public places you can walk right up to, from parks and bridges to landmarks like the Louvre and Sacré-Cœur. A few interiors are private, but the exteriors and most venues are genuine, visitable Paris spots.
Where is the Louvre scene in Lupin?
The opening heist plays out at the Louvre Museum on Rue de Rivoli in the 1st arrondissement, where Assane poses as a cleaner to steal Marie Antoinette’s necklace. You can visit the museum and stand in the same galleries and glass-pyramid courtyard.
Was Lupin filmed in Etretat?
Yes, the dramatic clifftop scenes were filmed at Etretat on the Normandy coast, about a two-and-a-half-hour trip from Paris. Its famous white cliffs and natural arches are the real backdrop, and Etretat has long been tied to the original Arsene Lupin stories.

Season 3 was filmed heavily in Paris, including Place Vendôme, the Palais Royal, Père-Lachaise, Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur, the Bibliothèque Nationale Richelieu, Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, and the Palais Garnier, plus the Château de Thoiry west of Paris and a flashback at Notre-Dame de la Garde in Marseille.
When does Lupin Season 4 come out and where was it filmed?
Lupin Part 4 premieres on Netflix on October 23, 2026, with eight episodes, and it was filmed in Paris, with scenes shot around Rue Beethoven in the 16th and near the Banque de France in the 1st and 2nd. The full confirmed location list is expected around release.
Well, that's it! The film locations for the Netflix series Lupin were filmed in both Paris and Normandy. Season 3 arrived in October 2023, and I have added all of its Paris and beyond locations above. And the best news for fans: Season 4 lands on Netflix on October 23, 2026, so I'll keep this guide fresh as those locations are confirmed. If you want to watch more Arsène Lupin movies, you can check out my former favorite from 2004 on Amazon Prime: Arsène Lupin (the cast includes Kristin Scott Thomas), and there is a 1932 version I haven't seen available on Turner Home Classics. Or read the novels!
How about you? Did you catch another location that I missed? Do share! Are you a fan of the show? Do tell!

Tips
- Flights
- Look for fares using sites like Skyscanner or Expedia.com.
- For France (Paris), coming from the West Coast, I typically fly Air France or United. From the East Coast, I typically fly Air France or Delta.
- If you travel frequently, consider investing in a Priority Pass for access to airport lounges. Not only will you have a spot to relax before your flight and charge your devices, but you can eat and drink for free (without paying crazy airport prices!)
- Accommodation
- I use Expedia.com, Booking.com, and Hotels.com to find lodging. Always check the reviews on TripAdvisor before booking!
- If you want to stay in a rental, look at VRBO and Plum Guide.
- Transportation
- For rental car agencies, try Rentalcars.com. When traveling in Europe, I use AutoEurope to make reservations. They find the best rates and let you compare car rental agencies. I typically book with Sixt.
- For transportation from CDG Airport to anywhere in Paris, consider pre-booking with Get Transfer. It is one way to be stress-free, and you can request an English-speaking driver.
- Tours + Atractions
- I book tours with companies like Viator and GetYourGuide. Both have a wide variety of activities for every travel style. Other companies to look at include Tours by Locals and Withlocals.
- If you’re visiting a city with multiple attractions, be sure to check out a discount pass, such as CityPASS or Go City.
- Context Travel is another option, and they offer more education-based activities.
- If you are looking to buy tickets to attractions, check out Tiquet.
- Don't Forget Travel Photos
- One of my favorite things to do is to get photos taken of me while on vacation. Flytographer is a great option with photographers all over the world.
- Peace of Mind
- It’s important to have some type of travel insurance to cover any unforeseen accidents, illnesses, threats, or cancellations. I always travel with insurance and would recommend SafetyWing, SquareMouth, or Travelex Insurance as good options.
- Should you have any trouble with flight delays to the extent that you feel you deserve compensation, I encourage you to check out AirHelp. I used them, and for 1 claim I got compensated (transparency: a 2nd claim did not, but I was still glad I tried!).

I have not watched any episodes but it sounds like a great show. Tbe scenary is worth the watch so I will look for it when i have some down time.
I haven’t watched any episodes of this. It sounds really interesting. I have to check it out.
I have this one in my list! I can’t wait to watch it!
My wife and I are thinking of watching Lupin! I heard it’s a great show. All these places you mentioned are stunning!
This sounds like an interesting series. I hadn’t heard of this one, and we do get Netflix. I will have to check it out; sounds like something I would enjoy.
I have never seen this show but the scenery is beautiful. I’ll be checking it out
It’s actually on my watch later list, this article got me more excited to watch it.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this show! But it looks like its filmed in some amazing places.
I haven’t seen this show yet. Will check it out. The locations look amazing.
I’ve been meaning to watch this for so long. I didn’t realise it was on UK netflix as well.
I’ve never seen this show before. Sounds really interesting though. Would love to check it out.
It’s a pleasure to read about Paris and its beautiful location! I hope to visit it one day!
I am going to watch it just to see the different parts of Paris. so beautiful.
This sounds like a great movie! I had already canceled my Netflix subscription 🙁 I may need to watch this movie elsewhere.
Wow! I am surprised. This is the first time I learn about this. I will check and see it. I guess I will be missing more about Paris while watching this.
The only Lupin media I’ve consumed is the animated movie The Castle of Cagliostro directed by the famed animator Hayao Miyazaki in 1979 and tells the story of the grandson of Lupin; a smart, smooth and tech-using thief who steals hearts and treasures. It’s a cute and light show which you may like if you don’t find it sacrilegious to the classic tales or you enjoy animation.
Gentlemen thieves are definitely far more popular in Japan and France than in the UK which is obsessed with detectives i.e. the billion incarnations of Sherlock Holmes all over media, so I’m glad there’s a show about a classic character who isn’t often portrayed in media in modern times.
Nice unique post and I enjoy your detective work in sussing out the less obvious spots!
Thank you so much for this! I haven’t watched Lupin but you already convinced me to add it to my list. The sceneries are amazing and you made it sound so intriguing, and I am looking for a good series to watch.
Oh what fun. We enjoyed watching the first season of Lupin. It’s fun to know where all the locations are. Makes me want to go back to France. Thanks for sharing the details about these.
I really liked this show, very unexpected but it really caught on here in the US. Hear they renewed it for season 2!
I’ve just finished watching Lupin so I really enjoyed this post! It’s always great to know the filming locations of popular shows.
Just curious if you know the location of the apartment where Lupin meets the money lenders in episode 1?
@Ian, I don’t recall, but will go back and look and tried to get it for you!
@Ian, I went back and watched the first episode and then did some research and found the location! It is the Conservatoire de Montreuil located at 13 Avenue de la Résistance, 93100 Montreuil (outside of Paris) – I will be adding it to the post! Merci!
I loved the scenes and settings of Lupin! Thank you for noting so many of them for curious minds like mine. Also, I can solve the mystery Mrs. Pellegrini lives at the hotel Le Meurice, 228 rue de rivoli!
@Ashley, MERCI – I will update my post this weekend – thank you, thank you!
Hi! What is the name of fancy restaurant in Episode 5? Amazing interiors
Hello @Tahir – episode 5 of which season?
Isn’t that the cafe Charlot where Arsene meets Ben twice with in episode 3?
@Joanna, good catch! I will add that in, merci!
I haven’t seen the show before, but all of these spots look beautiful. I just love Paris!
I was currently watching this on Netflix. It’s great to know more about the places and of course the actor.

Wow, so many different filming locations for this. I’ve not seen Lupin yet.

Ah, Paris. I don’t think there’s any corner that looks bad. I love watching Lupin, the animated series, when I was a kid and it brings back so many wonderful memories..
Wow, what a gorgeous place. I have not seen this show yet. It sounds like something I’d like though. I’ll have to check it out.

Hi Andi, I am also a huge Lupin fan!! I found the location of the gas station where the police stop to get gas and where Assane escapes.

@Virginie, formidable! I will update the post and credit you!
Thanks for all the work you have put into this! We are now making a list for our next visit to Paris. Small remark: it’s Place Dauphine, not Delphine (wrong title, correct address)
@Gert, ack, merci for that typo correction! I can’t believe I did that! It is one of my favorite spots in Paris
