HBO's hit show "The White Lotus" is reportedly headed to the French Riviera and Paris, with the Airelles Collection's Chateau de la Messardiere in Saint-Tropez rumored to be one of several filming locations for the upcoming fourth season, according to Variety

Production is set to take place from late April through October, said Variety, with some scenes expected to be filmed at a Paris hotel.

HBO and Airelles both declined to comment on the report. A spokesperson for Warner Bros. Discovery (HBO's parent company) said Variety ran on speculation, and that the company had nothing to add. An Airelles spokesperson said the company had no information to share about "The White Lotus."

The show's first season in 2021 was filmed at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, while 2022's second season heavily showcased the San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel in Sicily. Both properties subsequently reported a major spike in bookings, reflecting a high interest in "set-jetting."

The show's third season was filmed at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, Rosewood Phuket and two Anantara properties in Thailand, sparking a surge in demand for the destination. 

Housed within a 19th-century estate, the 86-room Chateau de la Messardiere has been part of the Airelles Collection since 2019. Rates at the property for April 2026 start at around €1,150 (roughly $1,342) per night.
