John Wick: Chapter 4 in Paris: filming locations to visit
By Rédaction My Sweet Paris · Published 26 September 2026 · Updated 26 September 2026
In John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), Keanu Reeves fights around the Arc de Triomphe and climbs the rue Foyatier stairs up to the Sacré-Cœur for the final duel. These places are free to explore. The closest to Hôtel Concortel is the Palais Garnier, about ten minutes' walk away (estimate), and Versailles is one direct train from Saint-Lazare.
Where was John Wick: Chapter 4 filmed in Paris?
According to Wikipedia, principal photography ran from June to October 2021 in France, Germany, New York and Japan. In Paris, specialist sources (Sortiraparis, Screen Rant) list the Arc de Triomphe, Place du Trocadéro, the Montmartre stairs, the Palais Garnier, the Louvre and, outside Paris, the Palace of Versailles.
The Arc de Triomphe
The cult scene: a fight in the middle of the traffic on Place Charles-de-Gaulle. Do not linger on the road! Climb to the Arc's terrace instead to see the twelve avenues fanning out.
The Montmartre stairs and the Sacré-Cœur
The film's climax plays out on the stairs of rue Foyatier, which lead up to the Sacré-Cœur, then on the basilica's forecourt at sunrise. Climb them early in the morning for the light and the calm; the Montmartre funicular is a gentler alternative.
Trocadéro, Palais Garnier and Versailles
- Place du Trocadéro has one of the best views of the Eiffel Tower.
- The Palais Garnier, whose Grand Foyer appears in the film according to Sortiraparis, can be visited during the day.
- The Palace of Versailles was used for the Marquis's scenes.
What about the ghost metro station?
The underground meeting with the Bowery King was filmed at Porte des Lilas – Cinéma, a station reserved for film shoots: it is not open to the public.
How do you follow the route from the Concortel?
- Palais Garnier: about 10 minutes on foot (estimate).
- Arc de Triomphe: RER A from Auber to Charles-de-Gaulle-Étoile (1 stop).
- Trocadéro: line 9 from Saint-Augustin to Trocadéro, no change.
- Montmartre: line 12 from Saint-Lazare to Abbesses (5 stops).
