The climate is wonderful, the infrastructure is terrific, you\u2019ve got talent from all over France and Italy who came to either act or work on the show, and there\u2019s such a reverence towards filmmaking in France. It feels like being part of a very rich culture.<\/p>\n \u201cThe French working day is very precise and specific. It\u2019s different to the American version, where you sort of work until you\u2019ve finished the day and it doesn\u2019t matter if you do X amount of overtime. In France, you finish when you\u2019re supposed to finish \u2013 so you have your evening and your dinner. It\u2019s very civilised.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s such a reverence towards the craft of making film and television, and it\u2019s great to be a part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more<\/strong><\/p>\n Fellow cast member and French actress Vahina Giocante also said of filming: \u201cI grew up in Corsica so I was already familiar with the area. I did my first movie [Marie Baie des Anges] in the French Riviera and it\u2019s a popular place to film.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s like a fantasy world and it looks incredible on screen. It has a unique vibe and lifestyle that are very attractive. I always enjoy working in the south of France.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s like going to the office, you know? It\u2019s close to home and it\u2019s a beautiful landscape with such beautiful food. Filming there is like combining a vacation with work and amazing weather.\u201d<\/p>\n Producer Sydney Gallonde also reflected on the location used for The Reunion, explaining that while it\u2019s a well-known spot for many productions, there\u2019s just no beating seeing it on-screen.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cThe whole world knows the French Riviera and so many shows are filmed there. We have so many wonderful technicians, great crews, the locations, the sea, French specificity as well as global appeal.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you film in the south of France there\u2019s a very exotic element to a show which means it can travel, and of course, as the producer, I want this show to travel. The setting is a beautiful asset.\u201d<\/p> Where was The Reunion filmed? Location guide for ITV drama<\/strong><\/h2>\n
