Lupin

The necklace auction in the opening heist takes place in a reconstructed Louvre, but the real Galerie d'Apollon, where the French Crown Jewels were displayed, is exactly what Assane targets. After a real theft in October 2025 it reopened in July 2026 without the jewels: today you come for its painted ceiling and gilded decor.

Access · Ticket required

In the third episode of Part 2, Assane Diop, the gentleman thief played by Omar Sy, steals a valuable painting from this museum and leaves it on the desk of Juliette Pellegrini, his childhood friend. The museum fills a former railway station, and the giant clock window on its top floor is easy to recognise from the series.

Access · Ticket required

Part 3 opens with a heist at a jeweller on this square: Assane Diop, the gentleman thief played by Omar Sy, goes after a rare black pearl and directs part of the job from the top of the Vendôme column. Omar Sy shot those scenes himself, without special effects. The square is still home to many of the great Paris jewellers.

Access · Public space

In the second episode of Part 1, Assane Diop, the gentleman thief played by Omar Sy, sets up a meeting in this garden with Juliette Pellegrini, his childhood friend, and then gives the police the slip disguised as a delivery rider. Look for the central pond with its little toy sailing boats, also seen in the series.

Access · Public space

In the second episode of Part 3 a funeral is held in this cemetery for Assane Diop, the gentleman thief played by Omar Sy, and police detective Guédira interrupts the burial. As often with Assane, not everything is what it seems. Paris's largest cemetery is worth a walk in its own right, along shady avenues past the graves of Chopin, Oscar Wilde and Édith Piaf.

Access · Public space

Assane Diop, the gentleman thief played by Omar Sy, brings his ex-partner Claire and their son Raoul here for Raoul's birthday and a festival in honour of Arsène Lupin. Raoul goes missing, and the Part 1 finale and the start of Part 2 play out along these white cliffs. In Maurice Leblanc's novels the Aiguille, the rock needle off the cliff, hides Lupin's treasure, and Leblanc's house in town is now the Clos Arsène Lupin museum.

Access · Beach and cliff path free and open all the time. The path is steep and the cliff edge is unfenced in places.

This mansion on the edge of Parc Monceau plays the home of Hubert Pellegrini, the rich businessman who framed Assane's father Babakar for a theft. The courtyard, façade and rooms appear in the flashbacks where Babakar works for the family, and in Part 2 Benjamin Ferel, Assane's best friend, flies a drone from the roof towards Pellegrini's office.

Access · Closed for renovation since 4 August 2024: Les Arts Décoratifs announce the reopening in 2030 (madparis.fr, checked on 17 October 2026). Until then you can only see the façade, from Rue de Monceau.

At the end of the first episode Assane walks across this footbridge with his son Raoul and gives him the Arsène Lupin book that his own father once gave him. It is the moment the whole series hangs on: a father passing the gentleman thief on to his son.

Access · Public footbridge, open all the time. The love locks have been removed.

The Part 2 finale is set here, at a gala concert hosted by Hubert Pellegrini, where Assane finally moves against him in front of an audience. It was shot during the Covid lockdown: only a few spectators were really in the hall, and the director filled the rest of the crowd in afterwards with green screens.

Access · Exterior anytime; the hall only with a show ticket.

The historic site of the French national library has two reading rooms in the series. In the Salle Labrouste, with its iron columns and glass domes, Assane and Benjamin look for an accomplice and pick out the journalist Philippe Courbet. In Part 3 Raoul researches Arsène Lupin in the Salle Ovale, and Claire searches the shelves of the Labrouste room.

Access · The Salle Ovale is open to visitors for free. The Salle Labrouste is for researchers and can only be glimpsed, except on special heritage days. Check opening hours before you go.

Benjamin Ferel, Assane's best friend and partner in crime, runs his two-level antiques shop in this alley of the Saint-Ouen flea market. Assane comes here to sell what he steals, including a Fabergé egg in the first episode.

Access · Free to walk around. The stalls open only on some days of the week: check before you go.

In Part 3 the rooms of this Renaissance château appear in the fourth episode, and police detectives Guédira and Belkacem chase Benjamin through its hedge maze. The estate is also a safari park and zoo.

Access · Ticket required for the château, gardens and park. Check opening days and prices before you go.

Near the end of Part 3, Claire and Assane try to meet inside this department store under its glass dome: she waits on the ground floor while he watches from a balcony above. Claire arrives by the Chaussée d'Antin metro exit just outside.

Access · Free entry during shop hours; the rooftop is free too. Check opening hours before you go.

In the last episodes of Part 3, Babakar, Assane's father, comes up from the Opéra metro and sits on the steps of the opera house, thinking back over his life. The building also slides past in a driving scene in Part 2.

Access · Steps and square are public. Ticket required to visit inside.

In the first episode Assane meets Claire, the mother of his son, in L'Appartement, a restaurant on the corner facing this 17th-century triumphal arch. The arch fills the window behind them, and Claire walks past it as she leaves.

Access · Public street; the arch is seen from outside.

After a dinner with Juliette Pellegrini, Hubert's daughter and Assane's childhood friend, that the two leave without paying, they make their getaway past the Arc de Triomphe. In Part 3 Assane's motorbike rides circle it again, and the Part 3 finale was filmed around it.

Access · Free to see from outside; reach it only by the underground passage. Ticket required for the rooftop.

In the first episode of Part 3, Assane, now on the run, tries to talk Claire round under the covered galleries of the Palais-Royal courtyard, among Daniel Buren's striped columns.

Access · Public courtyard and gardens, free.

This small footbridge over the marina between the Seine and Bastille closes Part 2: Assane asks Claire and Raoul to meet him here. It also appears in a Part 1 flashback, where young Assane and Claire talk about baby names. In the Part 2 finale Assane steers a speedboat into the basin.

Access · Public footbridge and quays, free.

In a 1995 flashback in Part 2, teenage Assane and Benjamin go to the Catacombs, the old quarry tunnels lined with bones, and are handed a map of tunnels that visitors never see. The entrance pavilion on Place Denfert-Rochereau is where the tour starts today.

Access · Ticket required, best booked online. Check opening days before you go. Only the official route is open: entering other tunnels is forbidden.
