Welcome to the Sticks (Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis) is set in Bergues, near Dunkirk, and filmed there, with scenes in Lille, Lens, Malo-les-Bains and Bruay-la-Buissière. A post-office manager from the south is sent north for two years and finds the warmest welcome of his life. The route follows the film from the café where Philippe crashes his bike to the belfry where the love story ends.
Les Visiteurs (1993) was filmed in Carcassonne, Thoiry, Ermenonville, Argenteuil and Vigny: the Château Comtal in the Cité de Carcassonne is the medieval castle, and the Château d'Ermenonville is Montmirail in the present day. The route follows a 12th-century knight and his squire from 1123 to 1992, across five film locations, and notes where the film and the places differ.
When the National Trust withdrew filming permission, Monty Python's Grail quest leaned on Doune Castle in Scotland for Camelot, Castle Anthrax and most other castles, with Kidwelly Castle in South Wales for the opening shot and Bodiam Castle in East Sussex for the Swamp Castle exterior. King Arthur sets out across Britain in AD 932 to find knights and, in the end, the Holy Grail. This route follows the quest in film order through six locations: the castle of the opening shot in Wales, Doune Castle in Scotland standing in for the rest, a moated castle in East Sussex for one establishing shot, a mine, a glen and the island tower that ends the film.
