In early 2019, “Emily in Paris” was among 15 international shoots to touch down in Gaul, together generating around $70 million in local spending per quarter. Six years later, that picture looks very different. The post-pandemic boom has subsided while investment has surged, with between 18-20 commensurate projects now averaging $175 million over similar periods. In fact, overall spending crested past $300 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by “Emily’s” fifth-season return and a sector strengthened by new capacity in animation, VFX and studio infrastructure — all part of a wider plan to make France a one-stop shop for production.
Public support has been central to that transformation. A 2020 update to France’s Tax Rebate for International Productions (Trip) added a 10% bonus for projects spending at least $2.3 million with French VFX and post-production facilities, in addition to the standard 30% rebate.
