FAB FIXERS provided full production support and filming permit services in Paris for a historical documentary recreating the first electric tricycle ride on rue de Valois.

As a Paris fixer and production partner, we handled location access, permits, and logistics for filming in one of the city’s most regulated central areas.

Why the access is difficult

Filming in central Paris — especially near rue de Valois — presents significant logistical and administrative challenges:

• Complex filming permits in Paris requiring coordination with multiple authorities

• Proximity to government buildings and cultural institutions

• Heavy pedestrian, tourist, and cyclist traffic

• Strict regulations on crew size, equipment, and timing

Without a local fixer in Paris, navigating these constraints can delay or block production entirely.

How we handled it

As an experienced film fixer in France, FAB FIXERS ensured smooth execution:

• Secured all required filming permits in Paris through established municipal channels

• Coordinated with local authorities to validate timing and access

• Managed on-the-ground logistics in a dense urban environment

• Sourced a professional driver familiar with both the vehicle and Paris filming conditions
