Apart from soundstages, the studio complex houses various production spaces, carpenter workshops, prop shops, hair & makeup spaces to facilitate production. The film’s sets are designed by Academy Award-nominated production designer Aline Bonetto who sought inspiration from American furniture from the 1950s to 1960s for giving the movie’s backdrops a unique look. Works of filmmaker Jacques Tati and artist James Turell also inspired the film’s sets. Popular shows and films such as ‘Versailles,’ ‘Le Bazar de la Charité,’ and ‘De Gaulle’ were shot at the studio property.
