Lupin wouldn't be a real Parisian if he didn't from time to time undertake secret assignations in the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, in the 19th Arrondissement. Throughout season 2, he finds time to meet his lover Juliette (Clotilde Hesme) at the Temple of the Sibyl, the ideal spot overlooking the Paris skyline, be it to declare his love or plot a Machiavellian scheme. Located at the top of the lake’s island, it dates from 1866 and was inspired by the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli, Italy. Circular in shape and supported by five pillars, it is an ancient alcove lost in the trees, an integral part of this multicultural Parisian district.

If you tire of the sites of Grands Boulevards, why not take a sharp turn and nip into this (almost) hidden gem of a glass-roofed arcade. Go back in time to the beginning of the 19th century and hunt for trinkets, postcards and other postage stamps in the boutiques and bric-a-brac stores tucked into the arcade. Peer through the vintage storefront of the Marquis chocolatier and the famous Stern printing company.

Why did they wait until season 3 to send Assane Diop to the National Library of France? Quite simply because the institution had been undergoing renovation for 12 years!

To discover the Prunier restaurant run by chef Yannick Alléno, go directly to the heart of the 16th arrondissement and the luxurious avenue Victor Hugo.

His most recent specialty? Extract of gray shrimp.

It's certainly not always easy to choose the right place for a date with your ex-wife. Assane Diop chooses to meet up with Claire (Ludivine Sagnier) at L'Appartement Saint-Martin, well within his favored comfort zone of the 10th arrondissement.

Its white stone buildings were built around a century-old lime tree dating from the 19th century, but over time they have been supplemented by more modern buildings. The establishment was reserved for young girls under Napoleon... and this is still the case today. Boarding school and uniform are compulsory for all schoolgirls. Medals, rolls of honor, bowing or singing of the Marseillaise, in the Maison d'éducation des Loges, an education respecting tradition and the institutions is prioritized, in a setting that is both ancestral and bucolic. Every year, they even organize a big concert bringing together around a hundred students in honor, and in the presence of, the President of the Republic.

If you know the series well, you may be wondering which scene was filmed in Rungis (in Val de Marne)... In fact, it's impossible to guess because there are many interior sequences in a police station!

What's better than a good basketball session to maintain your skill and agility when you're a professional burglar? Whether you are alone, with friends or colleagues, the Hoops Factory has something for everyone. Presenting itself as the “house of basketball”, with its five centers serving Paris and the rest of France, it is indeed the go-to indoor venue for the next aspiring Victor Wenbanyama.
