What StudiosdeFrance does

Studios de France is a French private limited company (SAS, registered in Bobigny under RCS 828 492 637) that operates as the unified studio-rental brand of Groupe AMP Visual TV, providing television production facilities and audiovisual technical services to the Paris market. The company runs 25 TV studio stages across eight locations in the Paris metropolitan area: Studios Rive Gauche in central Paris (four stages, 135–650m²), the 14,000m² Studios du Lendit complex at La Plaine Saint-Denis (five stages including the Studio XR), and the Parc des Portes de Paris cluster in Saint-Denis and Aubervilliers encompassing Studios 107, 128, 130, 210, 217, and 224. Notable technical assets include Studio 217 (2,000m², marketed as Europe's largest TV studio), the Studio XR featuring Europe's largest Sony Crystal LED screen at 90m² (technology available elsewhere only in Tokyo and Los Angeles), virtual decoration and hyperreality capabilities, EVS server operations for sports broadcasting, and integration with AMP Visual TV's Millenium Signature mobile production trucks.

The business model is B2B enterprise service: studios are rented to television production companies and broadcasters on a quote-based, project-by-project basis, augmented by add-on services such as lighting (traditional, LED, automated), sound reinforcement, scenic construction, catering, security, concierge, cleaning, and structural rigging. Technical production (camera, vision control, mobile units, remote production) is supplied through parent AMP Visual TV and the LETSEE Media Center (streaming, post-production, quality control). Go-to-market relies on dedicated account managers—Chargé d'Affaires Rémy Dessaut is the named commercial lead—and long-term relationships with major French broadcasters including TF1, M6, France 2, Canal+, W9, TMC, T18, beIN SPORTS, and streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, as well as production groups including Endemol France, Banijay, BBC Studios France, Fremantle Media France, Air Productions, H2O Productions, and Quotidien Production. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The company also extends into corporate filming services (live streaming, video conferencing, institutional content) and maintains a partner-studios referral arrangement with Studios de Paris for overflow capacity. Marketing channels include a corporate website (studiosdefrance.tv), LinkedIn, and an Instagram account (@_studios_de_france) using the #LetseeOnAir hashtag to showcase productions and behind-the-scenes content. Studios de France was previously known as Studios du Lendit and operates under the parent AMP Visual TV, which acquired the Lendit site in May 2017 and subsequently took over Studios Rive Gauche after Canal+ departed.
