Paris, its monuments, its light... and now its pathouses! If you work in audiovisual or photography industries, you know how difficult it is to find the perfect location for filming. Between permits, soaring prices, parking needs, and spaces that all look the same, you end up going in circles.
This is where the rental of pathouses for photo shoots and filming in Paris offered by the location agency Easy Spaces in Paris steps in. These apartments perched on top of buildings completely change the game. And believe me, once you’ve tried it, there’s no going back. An outdoor area with a beautiful unobstructed view over the capital changes everything.
The other day, I accompanied a commercial filming crew in a pathouse in the 16th district. The director kept saying "This light is crazy!" And it’s true that when you’re on the 8th floor with windows everywhere, the natural light works miracles.
No more hauling tons of lighting equipment. The rental of pathouses for photo shoots and filming in Paris instantly solves all lighting problems. In the morning, you get soft light coming from the east; in the afternoon, it shifts toward the west; and in the evening... it’s magical with the last rays bathing the capital in unique light.
The advantages are clear:
• Natural lighting - No need to rent expensive, heavy lighting equipment anymore
• Space - 300, 400, sometimes even 500 m² to set up all your gear
• Views - Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Cœur, Arc de Triomphe... Paris becomes your decor
• Quietness - Up high, no traffic noise or curious passersby, ideal for sound recording
• Facilities - Electrical outlets everywhere, elevator access to bring up equipment
What I like the most is that you can really do whatever you want. Yesterday a minimalist pathouse for a luxury brand, tomorrow an industrial loft for a rap music video. These places adapt to everything.
There’s something for every taste. Want something modern? We have glass and steel pathouses with views of La Défense. Prefer a traditional Parisian style? We have Haussmannian apartments renovated with original parquet floors and moldings.
And then there are the terraces! Some pathouses have 100 m² terraces with panoramic views of the Eiffel Tower or Notre-Dame. Perfect for fashion shoots or on-camera interviews filmed outdoors. Others feature hanging gardens, swimming pools, even jacuzzis for productions wanting spectacular settings.
The rental of pathouses for photo shoots and filming in Paris opens up possibilities you can’t even imagine in a classic studio.
