Paris is one of Europe’s leading event capitals. From the Summer Olympics and the Tour de France to Fashion Week and the Paris Marathon, the city hosts an eclectic mix of world-class events throughout the year. As our first crew location outside the UK, Paris holds a special place in Alpha Crew’s journey, and we are proud to have operated a crew base there for the past five years.

The Paris Event Landscape

Paris is a historic city filled with iconic landmarks and venues, many of which operate under strict heritage protections. This means event crew must work with care and precision to meet venue regulations while protecting the spaces they are working in.

Paris is also home to many high-profile international events.
