Scientific documentaries (French or international), interviews with leading figures from our community, short films with scientific themes, filming for music videos or luxury brands... all requests are considered: scientific themes such as astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology and metrology are given priority.
Prior authorization is required for all filming and photo shoots at the Paris Observatory. A fee may be charged for the use of the premises, or even for compensatory costs (commissioned director, bailiff, janitor, etc.), the amount of which depends on the nature of the request and the resources required to carry it out.
Authorized drone flights are subject to authorization from the presidency, after prior approval from the DGAC.
The “Events” department of the Communications Department will be happy to facilitate your visit: study and preparation, location scouting and supervision during filming.
