Mr Bean’s Holiday Filming Locations
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.
I’ll be adding more locations over time, so check back often, or subscribe to the newsletter and I’ll let you know when new locations are added. However, if there are any particular Mr. Bean’s Holiday filming locations that you would like to see on here, please do let me know in the comments section below.

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.
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.
Thanks a lot for your work, we are already planning our trip. best holiday ever!
Thanks Gisele, glad you like the site 🙂 Have a fantastic trip visiting all those Mr Bean’s Holiday locations!
