    Dear Jacob,
    For inside Paris, my underground-contact ‘h2O’ recommends:
    http://www.datacombes.com/pwg/index/category/44-les_capucins
    a large, easily accessible quarry several stories below in the 14th District. However, he reminds me that tunnels just outside the city limits like those suggested by eric.grebille & idf-film are closer in size & architecture to those in your reference photos. Let me know if I can be of any (economical-style) assistance during the next 2 weeks.

    Considering your short time-frame, I agree with M. Ashton: ask advice from Sophie at http://www.parisfilm.fr
    and if you have more time, you may consult Paris-underground specialist h2O: http://www.datacombes.com/pwg
    Please keep me informed about your film and/or any further locations info,

    Massimo,
    Please see below a few pix of 2 villas designed,constructed & decorated by Chinese architects. Located inside Paris, these interiors are distinctively Chinese, but definitely more sophisticated than typical and offer several unique possibilities.

    Dear Nela Mokra,
    If you are sure that you don’t prefer the Adriatic coast..consider Paradise Villa Hotel on Longkawi Island, Malaysia: very nice, sunny 30° weather (March to May is best season), private seaside villa w/pool, lush-exotic vegetation, transparent seascape, healthy eco-friendly environment..Friendly MDeC Film Office & my local contacts assure very reasonable budget. I will be scouting there in January 2012 for a European-TV-Documentary & happy to find & negociate your 6-bedroom villa at same time.
    Please see web-album https://picasaweb.google.com/paris.location.scout/ParadiseHotelVilla?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCL3H0KGJ3a2_8QE&feat=directlink

    Hello from Paris = paris.location.scout@gmail.com

    Please see below a small sample from my ‘portfolio’. As you may also see on my web site, http://paris-location-scout.blogspot.com/ (web-albums ‘Ile-de-France Locations’, ‘Paris Street Scenes for A2 and Canal+’), I have experience in night-time photography & cinematography. I also shoot often on rue Montorgeuil (the cafe in your sample) and I know ‘film-friendly’ cafe-bar-restaurant owners in several other Paris neighborhoods (St. Germain, the Latin Quarter..), including one used by Woody Allen for ‘Midnight in Paris’.
    Please contact me as soon as possible. I may be ‘scouting’ away from Paris between December 6-18.

    ..à bientôt..
    James-Victor (inside Paris)

    Dear Mirelle,
    Sunny, ‘film-friendly’ Malta could really be a perfect winner for your specific needs. As our colleague Maria Ida Bernabei / MFO mentions below, MIA is well designed yet has a ‘small-local-airport’ feel’, appropriate customs area(s) and co-operative customs personnel.
    Also quick, direct flights from Amsterdam + other cities. She and/or I can also help negotiate reduced rates on Air Malta flights.
    Please see Malta location-shoots at

    Hi Myungchan Kang,
    Yes, I can help you scout & negociate ‘Fresnes Prison’ and/or another real prison in Paris ‘Ile de France’ region and/or Marseille, France and/or suggest a 3rd possibility in a sunny, ‘film-friendly’ southern european (EU) country.
    Will you shoot film and/or video? Estimated crew size = n° of persons? Estimated n° of actors/actrices? Estimated time on location = n° days and/or hours?
    First photos, suggestions & answers from prison administrators can be available begining next week. Successful negociations can be concluded in August and/or early September.
