Mr Bean’s Holiday Filming Locations

9 Feb 2019

Mr. Bean’s Holiday was filmed almost entirely in France, and I think most people will agree that these locations are one of the stars of the movie themselves. There are so many picturesque and visually appealing scenes that the movie is like an advert for French tourism. Ever since I first watched the movie, I wanted to know where these locations were and I’m sure others would like to as well, so I made this guide to the Mr. Bean’s Holiday filming locations. I hope it helps you plan a trip to visit some of these places yourself.

If you click on the location titles or images below, you will be taken to the details page for that location. Alternatively, you can click on the map markers in the map below to visit each location’s page.

      Thank you for your question Renee. Both the interior and exterior of Avignon station were used for the scene where Bean and Stepan beg the lady for money and are chased by the station master. I’ll be adding details for these soon.

    Hmmm. Never been to Cannes but the beach area sure looks like St Raphael. . . . ???

      Yes, St Raphael does look very similar to Cannes. I’m pretty sure it’s Cannes, I’ll post some images some time just to confirm.

      Thanks for your question Vishal! It’s on the D245 road in the south-east of Sault. Here’s the location where Mr. Bean has a worried look as the Jeep starts to speed up:

      A bit further down the road is the shed where Mr. Bean follows the chicken farmer’s truck to:

    Hello! Great article.

    Do you know where the escalator scene was filmed for Playback Time?

      Thank you! I don’t know where the escalator scene was filmed sadly. I’d really like to know that one too!

      Looks like a railway station platform when Carson Clay reaches the top, but all my searches haven’t turned up anything that looks like the scene.

        The escalator where Carson Clay reaches the top is Heron Quays station on the Docklands Railway.

          Thank you so much Harry! Spent many hours looking for this. How did you find it?

            I thought it looked vaguely familiar, then when I saw that the bridge scene was in the Docklands I knew it was somewhere on the Docklands Railway. I started searching for nearby stations, and found it in about 5 minutes.

          • Admin

            It’s an excellent find and no other references to it online as far as I can see! I’ve created a page for the escalator scene in Playback Time and given you credit for finding it.
