Versatile Studio for Video Production and Interviews.

tl;dr

Space
A 36 sqm (388 sq ft) basement broadcast studio for hire in Boulogne-Billancourt, western Paris, fitted as a modular content studio with a warm set build seating up to six on camera. The room is move-in ready with cameras, lighting and control room already rigged, so no technical fit-out is required before a shoot day.
Best For
Strongest fit for filmed interview and podcast series, campaign content studio days for social and e-commerce cutdowns, and live-streamed collection previews or buyer briefings. Also suitable as a brand shoot location for flat-lay and product video, and for small influencer workshops or creator training sessions of six or fewer participants.
Standout Features
Three Panasonic HE-40 motorised Full HD cameras plus a fixed Blackmagic 4K and a mobile Sony Full HD body, all driven from an on-site Tricaster TC1 control room. Eight MK40 microphones, colour-adjustable LED lighting, an autocue prompter, and a 100 MB/s line supporting live broadcast and duplex Teams or Skype links for two remote guests. Garment rail, fitting rooms, stock room and a kitchen sit alongside the set, and every technical spec here has been vetted by Fashion Week Venues.
Location
Metro Line 10 at Boulogne Jean Jaurès and Marcel Sembat sits roughly 6 to 9 minutes on foot, with on-site parking and a lift for equipment loading. The immediate stretch near Rue Édouard Vaillant is a working Boulogne high street with Sephora, Promod, Courir and Naturalia within 350 metres, calm enough for a quiet crew arrival and useful for talent catering and last-minute supplies during a rental.
Availability
Day rate is 6,000 EUR with a one-day minimum, so brands can book by the day or block a full production week. Allow three to four weeks lead time in Paris and six to eight weeks across the March and September fashion week windows, when studios in the western suburbs typically sell out first; request availability early for haute couture season in January and July.
How to Book
Send a brief with your shoot dates and crew size and we confirm availability within 24h, with no charge until confirmed. Permit paperwork, technical staffing for the control room and fit-out coordination are handled by our team on the brand's behalf. Enquire now to hold your date.

Filmed Interview and Podcast Series

This studio is purpose-built for it: three motorised Panasonic HE-40 cameras run from the on-site Tricaster TC1 control room let a single operator cut a four-way conversation live with no external crew call. The set seats six on camera, eight MK40 microphones cover every chair, and the prompter handles scripted intros and brand messaging. In practice the basement floor level handles sound isolation without requiring additional acoustic treatment, and the duplex line brings in two remote guests over Teams or Skype.

Multi-Format Content Day

Strong for volume, because cameras, lighting and control room are already rigged and nothing needs building before the first setup. A brand team can shoot vertical social, long-form video and internal comms in the same day without a re-rig between formats. Realistic throughput across 36 sqm is one or two talent plus a crew of three to four. Colour-adjustable LED lighting resets the look between segments in minutes, and the kitchen and stock room keep catering and flight cases off the set.

E-commerce Shoot

Adequate rather than expansive: 36 sqm with fitting rooms, a garment rail and a stock room supports on-model e-commerce at tight and mid crops, but full-length wide sets needing a long lens throw will be constrained. Brands running e-commerce shoots in spaces like this typically work a two model rotation with a dresser, using the fitting rooms for changes and the fixed Blackmagic 4K body for product video pickups between stills setups so nothing is shot twice.

Brand Shoot and Editorial Stills

Works well with one caveat: the fitted LED array is specified for broadcast, so a stills photographer should plan to bring strobes for an editorial shoot. Everything around that is in place, including the lift and on-site parking for grip cases, air conditioning for long days under lights, and a modular set that strips back or dresses up to brief. Additional set pieces, seating and props can be sourced through furniture rental ahead of the build day.

Live-Streamed Buyer Preview

Genuinely useful for wholesale: the 100 MB/s line and duplex connection let you run a collection preview for buyers who cannot travel, with two accounts live in the room and the rest watching the broadcast feed. Garment rail, fitting rooms and stock room handle sample logistics on site. The in-person capacity is four to six, so treat this as a remote and overflow channel running alongside a physical showroom booked from our spaces in Paris.

Digital Press Day and Media Preview

This works as a broadcast press format rather than a walk-through one. There is no window presence at basement level and no passing footfall, so build the day around a filmed or streamed preview with a controlled guest list. Six seats on camera covers a founder or designer plus two or three journalists, with remote press joining over the duplex link. What makes this work for a press day specifically is that the Tricaster records isolated camera feeds, so you can cut tailored assets for each title afterwards.

Filmed Masterclass

Strong fit, because the prompter, three motorised cameras and live switching mean a masterclass can be delivered to script and published the same week without an edit-heavy post process. Works best with one or two instructors and a maximum of four seated participants at 36 sqm. In practice the fixed Blackmagic 4K camera covers the close detail angle on hands, fabric or product while the motorised units handle wides and reverses on the presenter.

Creator Workshop and Influencer Content Session

Credible for small creator sessions and not for an influencer party: six people on camera is the working ceiling and a basement studio gives you no social spill space. Where it does deliver is a half-day creator training or a rotating content session where each guest leaves with finished, brand-controlled footage rather than phone clips. Talent prep is easy with salons ninety metres away, and distribution planning sits with our influencer marketing team.

the neighbourhood

Production companies, post houses, broadcast crews and brand content teams make up the working population of this part of Boulogne-Billancourt, and they have done since the studios of the Rue de Silly and the old Billancourt lots gave the town its film industry identity. Walk the blocks around Rue Édouard Vaillant and Avenue Victor Hugo on a weekday and the people on the pavement are editors heading to lunch, camera assistants unloading vans, agency account teams walking between client offices, and beauty and fashion e-commerce staff from the corporate towers closer to Pont de Sèvres. The commercial mix reflects it: design and interiors suppliers like Lapeyre and Décoplus, a dense run of hair and beauty salons around Flore and Odile Coiffure that talent uses between takes, Mediacopie for last-minute print, and a high street of Sephora, Promod, Courir, Etam and Naturalia three hundred metres west. It is a service ecosystem built around people who make things rather than people who shop, which is exactly why we place content-led clients here rather than in central spaces in Paris.

Brands choose Boulogne over the Marais, Saint-Germain or the 8th because a filmed production day here is quieter, cheaper per usable square metre and far easier to load in and out of. In our experience placing brands in this neighbourhood, the decisive factors are almost always operational: on-site parking for a grip van, a lift that takes flight cases, no permit friction from a crowded pedestrian street, and no risk of a tourist crowd or a delivery scooter ruining a take. Line 10 at Boulogne Jean Jaurès and Marcel Sembat puts you inside twenty-five minutes of the Right Bank press and buyer hotel cluster, and the western approach means talent arriving from Neuilly, Levallois or Roland-Garros side of the city arrives on time rather than stuck behind Rue de Rivoli traffic. What Boulogne does not give you is fashion week adjacency in the symbolic sense. If your press list expects to walk from a Place Vendôme showroom to your door, this is the wrong postcode, and our venue sourcing team will say so directly rather than sell you the address.

Arriving at this block feels closer to a residential Paris side street than a media district, which is the point. Mornings are school-run and boulangerie traffic until around nine, then the street settles into a steady, unhurried rhythm of local errands and office lunch runs between noon and two, with Le Pré en Bulles and the smaller restaurants nearby filling up predictably. Afternoons are quiet enough that a guest arriving for an interview slot is not competing with anything, and the basement level means street noise is a non-issue for audio. What we consistently hear from brand teams who activate here is that talent and remote guests find it calm and low-pressure, which shows on camera. The street dynamic works particularly well for interview series, podcast recordings, live-streamed buyer briefings and small creator workshops, and you can pressure-test the day rate against alternatives using our budget calculator. Be clear about the limitation though: this is not a walk-in retail location. There is no passing fashion audience, no window presence from a basement floor, and no spontaneous footfall to convert. Brands needing street visibility or a public-facing pop-up should look elsewhere.

frequently asked

Not in the conventional sense, because this is a 36 sqm basement broadcast studio in Boulogne-Billancourt rather than a street-facing retail unit with a shopfront. There is no window frontage or passing footfall here, so a public-facing pop-up shop selling to walk-in customers is not the right use of the address. What the room does support well is a closed-door commercial format: a filmed sample sale preview, an invite-only collection preview for buyers, or a live-streamed shoppable broadcast using the 100 MB/s line and Tricaster TC1 control room. The garment rack, fitting rooms, counters and stock room mean you can merchandise product properly on set even though the space is not a retail rental. If you want a genuine temporary retail unit in western Paris alongside this studio day, we can put both on one brief and you can also browse spaces in Paris
