Luxury at Speed
Monaco offers the world’s most concentrated collection of Belle Époque grandeur and modern opulence. While it is an iconic backdrop for automotive and luxury commercials, the reality of filming here is one of strict coordination rather than creative freedom.
The Production Reality:
No Direct Incentives: Monaco offers no local tax rebates. However, by using our French team, we can often structure your project to qualify for the French TRIP (30-40% rebate) for the portions of your shoot or prep occurring on French soil.
Rigid Permitting: Expect a mandatory 15-day lead time for public space permits. For fiction or features, a full script must be submitted in French one month in advance for government approval.
Technical Logistics: With zero local rental houses, all gear is imported from our hubs in Nice or Marseille.
Our Role: We bridge the gap between Monaco’s administrative wall and your production needs. From coordinating with the Société des Bains de Mer for casino access to managing the technical supply chain from France, we ensure you get the “Monaco Look” without the logistical deadlock.

Veteran producer Nicolas Bétrancourt brings the world to France. Decades of experience shooting award-winning commercial films and music videos in his home country have served him well during recent years …
[cont.] dedicated to providing great crews, amazing natural sets, and the guilty pleasure of a glass of wine or two or three with filmmakers and photographers from all over the planet. Because what’s the point of shooting in France if you don’t enjoy wine at the end of the day, honestly?
Nico, as he is widely known, was born in Le Havre, France, in the 60’s. Facing Southampton, not so far from Liverpool, he could be considered the 6th or 7th Beatle. Really! His choice of images over music may have cost recording studios a rising star, but the film industry got a hell of a producer instead.
As a young producer, Nico surfed the late 80’s wave of advertising and music videos working at Premiere Heure, the hippest production company in town. This fiery chap got involved in no less than a thousand of ad films and music videos and even won the very first award for a music video in France.
Later established with a bunch of mavericks under the famous flag « C’est La Vie Productions » in Paris and London, Nico enlivened the 90’s with the most popular music videos and advertising films of the decade.
But as most all great rock’n’roll bands, C’est La Vie Prod’s skyrocketing success sputtered out, and Nico took his life back as he embarked on a new millennium.
