Oh mon dieu: The White Lotus S4 is going to France
Get those baguettes in the house and book a one-way Eurostar ticket, because our favorite murder mystery series The White Lotus is coming back. And indeed in yes yes: France.
Where in France is The White Lotus season 4 being filmed?
Oh, are you already curious about where you can secretly walk around to catch a glimpse of the cast? Understandable. We are just as curious about which grand film location HBO will choose this time. Unfortunately, we don't have an Architectural Digest article about the resort, but we can certainly speculate.
The options are, due to a marketing collaboration with the Four Seasons, limited to three hotels: Hotel George V in Paris, the Megève resort in the French Alps and the big favorite: the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera. This hotel has been a Hollywood magnet for years due to its location near Cannes, where our stars are often found.
Creator Mike White previously indicated that he wanted a change from the beaches, but it doesn't have to be too cold either. Paris would be dramatic enough for season 4, but the French Riviera fits perfectly into the luxurious White Lotus picture. So, a resort then?
What do the hotels look like where The White Lotus could be filmed?
grand-hôtel du cap-ferrat
The favorite, and the one we secretly also find the most beautiful, is this almost castle-like resort. The hotel has been a staple on the Côte d’Azur for over a century and would be the perfect place to The White Lotus film. From here you can spot Nice and Monaco. The Les Terrasses du Capgardens, hidden among lush plants, provide the ideal stage for a mystery or even a murder scene.

hotel george v, paris
Bonjour Paris! Built in 1928, the George V hotel is still a staple in Paris. The hotel is just a baguette's length away from the Champs-Élysées and has 244 rooms, three restaurants, and a spa. From the large suites, you can see the sparkling Eiffel Tower in the evening. The perfect setting for drama and decadence in The White Lotus.
megève resort, french alps
On the slopes of Mont d’Arbois, in the heart of the French Alps, lies this modern chalet. Think: skiing, golfing, a spa, and an amazing view. The landscape is perfect for mysterious accidents and slip-ups on the slopes. Pure White Lotus vibes.
Recap: what happened in The White Lotus season 3?
Before we pack our bags for France, let's take a look back at last season. The White Lotus season 3 took place in Thailand, at the Koh Samui resort.
The Ratliff family travels so that daughter Piper can interview a monk for her thesis. But yes, just that would be too boring. So: drama. There is financial trouble, incest between the brothers, and father Timothy attempting suicide. Not your average family trip. Piper is completely done with it and wants to move in with the monks after graduating – something her mother is vehemently against.
A new favorite character was Gaitok, the guard with a heart of gold who doubts whether he belongs in this violent environment. He symbolizes the moral test of The White Lotus, where most succumb to luxury and power.
And of course: someone died again. Spoiler alert: this time a truly innocent victim. Fan favorite Chelsea was accidentally killed by her boyfriend Rick. He had lured her to Thailand to confront his father's murderer. That plan went completely wrong when Chelsea got in the way...
We are definitely curious about what crazy scenes and especially great celebs we will see in season 4 of The White Lotus. What are we going to do? Get in the mood. With a weekend in Paris. Au revoir.
