5 mythical filming locations to discover

Some films are forever engraved in our memories and have marked entire generations, we think for example of the films James Bond, Indiana Jones or the trilogy The Hobbit . So, if you've always dreamed of discovering the filming location of your favorite film, you should know that some are sublime and can be visited, here are 5 of them!

1/ The Hobbiton (New Zealand)

TheHobbiton , does that remind you of something ? This New Zealand village, built specifically for the production of The Hobbit trilogy , immerses us in the world of Peter Jackson:green meadows, cottages... Clearly, a real magical world where we too would (almost) take ourselves for a Hobbit!

2/ The Great Park of Windsor (England)

You don't have to cross the planet to stare into one of the scariest landscapes in Snow White and the Huntsman , since the Grand Parc de Windsor lies between Berkshire and Surrey, England. The opportunity to take Kristen Stewart in the role of Snow White for a walk and (perhaps) come across some deer... fortunately much less terrifying than the strange animals in the film!

5/ Iguaçu Falls (South America)

The Iguaçu Falls are one of the 7 wonders of the world! A natural area that is located between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, made up of numerous waterfalls, most of them 64 meters high (others can reach 82 meters). An incomparable place that has attracted the production of many films and in particular OSS 117, Rio no longer responds as well as Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull Kingdom … to discover urgently!

4/ Saint-Tropez (France)

Louis de Funès made us laugh in many films and remains etched in our memories thanks to his facial expressions and his talent as an actor... If you want to take a nice trip and discover the legendary filming scenes of the Gendarme in Saint Tropez , direction this famous village in the south of France! The things worth visiting? The film gendarmerie, now the Gendarmerie and Cinema Museum .

3/The island of Koh Phi-Phi Don (Thailand)

Direction Thailand, to discover the island of Koh Phi-Phi Don and its paradisiacal landscapes:cliffs, turquoise waters and fine sandy beaches, in particular the one called Maya Beach where the famous Leonardo Dicaprio went for the filming of the film La Plage . The place has since attracted many tourists but also diving enthusiasts!
