Netflix’s Street Flow 3 (2026) — originally titled Banlieusards 3 — closes the gritty French trilogy with a story that stays deeply tied to its setting. The final chapter follows the Traoré brothers as their personal ambitions clash with loyalty to their neighbourhood. While audiences focused on the performances of Kery James, Jammeh Diangana, and Bakary Diombera, many viewers also noticed the film’s striking urban backdrops across France.
As with many productions dealing with real communities, the filmmakers kept several filming details quiet during production to avoid interruptions from curious fans. Even so, enough information has surfaced to map out where the cast and crew shot key scenes between June and August 2025.
Confirmed Street Flow 3 Filming Locations
Most filming took place in the Île-de-France region, with additional sequences captured elsewhere in the country.
Île-de-France, France – The Core Setting of the Story

Much of Street Flow 3 was filmed across Île-de-France, the region surrounding Paris and one of the most recognisable urban landscapes in Europe. It is also where the fictional Traoré family’s world comes alive.
The area’s dense suburbs, known as the banlieues, form the cultural backbone of the trilogy. Directors Kery James and Leïla Sy have consistently used these neighbourhoods to ground the story in a social reality familiar to many French viewers.
The region provided residential streets, council estates, and everyday public spaces that reflect the brothers’ complicated relationship with their environment — a place that both shapes their identity and challenges their future.
Nearby filming activity was also reported in Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris known for its diverse communities and urban skyline. While not officially confirmed as a major shooting base, its proximity to other filming areas made it a likely logistical hub for production teams.
Champigny-sur-Marne – Key Neighbourhood Scenes
One of the most clearly identified filming spots is Champigny-sur-Marne in the Val-de-Marne department.
The production filmed several sequences along Rue du Bois-l’Abbé, located in a residential district that visually matches the tone of the series. The street’s tower blocks and everyday neighbourhood atmosphere mirror the social setting central to the Traoré family’s journey.
For the film’s narrative, places like Champigny-sur-Marne represent the environment the brothers are trying to navigate — balancing ambition, responsibility, and the expectations of their community.
Champigny sits just east of Paris and is often used as a filming site when productions need an authentic suburban setting without leaving the capital region.
Nearby areas such as Créteil, another Val-de-Marne city known for its modern housing estates and waterfront district around Lac de Créteil, also share similar visual characteristics and are frequently used by French productions depicting suburban life.
Paris – Select Urban Sequences
Although the story largely unfolds in suburban settings, the production also shot several scenes in Paris itself.

The French capital has long been a favourite for international productions thanks to its instantly recognisable architecture and urban rhythm. For Street Flow 3, however, Paris appears more as a narrative contrast — highlighting the distance between opportunity and the reality faced by the characters in the banlieues.
Short scenes filmed in the city help illustrate the expanding world of the characters, particularly as Soulaymaan, the brother who becomes a lawyer, navigates spaces far removed from his childhood neighbourhood.
Paris has previously served as a backdrop for numerous well-known titles, from action thrillers to political dramas, reinforcing its reputation as one of Europe’s most film-friendly cities.
Annecy, Haute-Savoie – A Visual Shift in the Story
The production also travelled to Annecy in southeastern France, located in the Haute-Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

During August 2025, the cast and crew were reportedly spotted filming around Lake Annecy and in the Vieille Ville (Old Town) district. Known for its alpine scenery and canals, Annecy offers a dramatic contrast to the dense suburbs seen elsewhere in the film.
This location likely appears in moments that reflect change or introspection for the characters. The calm lakeside setting provides a visual pause from the intensity of the brothers’ lives back home.
Nearby alpine towns such as Talloires-Montmin, situated along the eastern shore of Lake Annecy, are commonly used by filmmakers seeking panoramic mountain views and quieter European landscapes.
Why Some Filming Locations Remain Unknown
Like many major productions, Street Flow 3 intentionally kept parts of its filming schedule private.
French film crews often avoid revealing exact addresses while shooting, particularly when working in populated neighbourhoods. This helps prevent crowds gathering on set or disrupting local residents.
Given the popularity of the Street Flow franchise, keeping certain details under wraps was also a way to protect both the production process and the communities where filming took place.
The film reunites a strong ensemble led by Kery James, Jammeh Diangana, Bakary Diombera, Chérine Ghemri, Foued Nabba, and Chloé Jouannet.
Production reportedly ran for roughly two months in summer 2025. After filming wrapped in August, crew member Virgilia Giambruno publicly thanked the team on social media, describing the project as a collaboration driven by passion and teamwork.
Some fans say the choice to return to real banlieue neighbourhoods strengthens the trilogy’s authenticity. Viewers on film forums and social media have pointed out that the urban settings feel less polished than typical movie backdrops, which makes the story feel more grounded.
Others were surprised by the scenes filmed in Annecy, with many saying the picturesque lake setting created one of the most visually striking moments in the film.
Meanwhile, a number of viewers have started mapping the locations themselves, hoping to visit the same streets and neighbourhoods featured on screen.
Some of these places are fully accessible to the public, meaning visitors can walk through the same streets and neighbourhoods seen in the film.
For fans of the trilogy, visiting these locations offers a different way to experience the story — stepping directly into the environments that shaped the characters’ journey.
