Executive Production & Production Services in Paris, France, and Europe – Logistics, Shootings & Artist Management
Producing a project abroad is a high-stakes challenge. Whether planning a concert tour, a high-end fashion shooting in Paris, a film shoot on the French Riviera, or a corporate event in Europe, navigating local laws and logistics can be overwhelming. At Le Plato Prod, we are your local partner. We provide comprehensive executive production and logistical services for international companies that demand precision, legal compliance, and results.
If you are looking for a production company to handle everything from artist declarations and payroll to location scouting, this article explains why we are the operational link you need in France and Europe.
Your "Service Producer" and Logistics Partner in France
France is one of the most desirable destinations in the world for filming and live performance, but it is also one of the most administratively complex. Having a trusted Local Fixer or Line Producer is not a luxury; it is an operational necessity.
At Le Plato Prod, we act as an extension of your team. We translate your artistic vision into logistical reality. We handle the "red tape" and the heavy lifting so directors, artists, and creatives can focus entirely on the content.
Geographic Coverage: Paris and Beyond
Our operational base allows us to deploy quickly in:
Paris & Île-de-France: The hub of European production.
South of France (French Riviera/Provence): Nice, Cannes, Marseille, Monaco.
Europe: We coordinate cross-border logistics for tours in Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Scandinavia, Russia, United Kingdom, USA and Spain.
Services for Film, Advertising, and Photo Shoots
The term "Shooting in Paris" is top of mind for many fashion brands and AV production houses. However, securing permits to film in front of the Eiffel Tower or managing local crews requires insider knowledge.
We offer a complete Field Production service:
Location Scouting: We find the perfect backdrop, from historical palaces to grit urban industrial zones.
Filming Permits: We manage the bureaucracy with French municipalities and prefectures to ensure your shoot is legal.
Equipment Rental: We have negotiated rates with top local suppliers for camera, lighting, and sound gear.
Local Crewing: We hire the best bilingual local technicians (DoPs, Gaffers, Make-up Artists) to complete your team.
Concert Tours & Live Event Executive Production
For international promoters and managers, bringing a tour to Europe involves a logistical maze. Le Plato Prod takes on the executive production of the entire tour.
Tour Logistics (Tour Management): Coordination of vans, sleeper buses, hotels, and flights. We optimize routing to save costs and reduce artist fatigue.
Technical Riders: We advance the production with every venue or festival (Sound & Light), ensuring the backline and PA systems meet the artist's riders.
Road Managers: We provide experienced professionals on the ground to solve problems in real-time.
Administrative Management: Artist Declaration & Legal Compliance
This is arguably the most critical value we provide. France has a unique labor system for artists (the Intermittents du spectacle regime), which is extremely rigorous.
Many foreign production companies face fines or legal issues for failing to declare their workers correctly on French soil. At Le Plato Prod, we bulletproof your production:
Payroll, Social Security, and Visas
Artist & Crew Declaration: We handle all registrations with French social security, tax payments, and mandatory declarations (GUSO, etc.).
International Invoicing: We facilitate intra-community or international invoicing, simplifying accounting for your parent company.
Visas & Work Permits: We provide advisory and management services for work permits for non-EU artists performing within the Schengen area.
Logistics for Corporate & Luxury Events
Beyond cinema and music, event agencies trust us with the technical production of brand activations. If a company wants to host a product launch in Paris or a convention in Monaco, we are their "boots on the ground."
We manage:
Stage design and structure assembly.
High-end sound and lighting systems.
Coordination of catering, security, and VIP transport vendors.
