Filming of "La Dame de Monsoreau"

Locations used for the film included some of the jewels of the heritage of the Loire, including Fontevraud Abbey, Brissac and the Chateau de Brézé.
The production budget for the film was 6.3 million euros, with grants awarded by the Centre region (100,000 euros) and the Pays de la Loire region (70,000 euros). Over 800 extras were used during the filming, which lasted around forty days.

The production company Telfrance, which was in charge of filming, was assisted by the Bureau d’Accueil des tournages, the office specialising in help for filming, of the Pays de la Loire's regional SEM (an organisation funded partly from the public purse and partly by the private sector) with regard to preparation (identifying the various chateaux to use), casting extras and minor roles and sourcing local technicians.
