The White Lotus cameras landed on the Côte in early May. HBO is shooting season 4 between Cannes, Monaco and Saint-Tropez. A Riviera palace serves as main set, not officially revealed yet, but bets run high on a five-star in Cannes or Monte-Carlo. Saint-Tropez plays the gilded excursion.
No precise date for filming in the village. Just the certainty the crew will pass through. A few days, maybe a week. The port, la Ponche, a legendary terrace? We'll see. What's certain: Mike White, the show's creator, loves dropping his wealthy characters into settings where money flows, where the varnish cracks.
After Hawaii, Sicily, Thailand, the French Riviera was inevitable. Yachts, palaces, terrace parties. The playground writes itself. Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins in the cast. The season drops in 2026, when everyone's forgotten the May mistral.
Meanwhile, Tropeziens watch. A film crew in the village always gets tongues wagging. Especially when it's HBO, especially when it's White Lotus. We just hope they don't only shoot the golden clichés.
