We plan billboards across Paris, Lyon and Marseille in France. The faces that earn a place on the plan are unipoles with a long sight line, and hoardings where the traffic has to slow. Each site is priced on its own. We confirm the permit and the posting date before you are asked to commit. Tell us the dates and the budget, and we will send a site list within 48 hours.

France offers a range of billboards formats suited to different campaign objectives, locations and creative requirements.
Images below are for illustrative purposes only. They are not specific to one location.
Unipoles are the anchor billboard format on France's arterial routes and highway approaches. Sites around Paris and Lyon carry the tallest, highest-visibility structures and are the format most brands lean on for always-on presence in the market.
Unipole advertising in France is how a brand stays on an arterial through the working week. The same drivers pass it inbound and outbound, and that repeat is what turns a roadside site into recall.
Bridge banners around Paris and Lyon deliver head-on visibility to peak commuter traffic. In France, they anchor launches on the busiest gateway crossings and airport approach routes.
Bridge banner advertising in France pays off on routes people already have to take. Gateway crossings and airport approaches put the creative in front of peak traffic, which is why launches use it to arrive with the city.
Hoardings line construction perimeters, retail frontages and airport landside routes across Paris, Lyon and Marseille. Their pedestrian-scale proximity keeps France launches in view of both drivers and walkers at high frequency.
Hoarding advertising in France rewards brands that want frequency at close range. Launches, retail openings and long site perimeters all benefit from a face people pass slowly, on foot and in traffic.
Building banners on commercial and retail facades in Paris and Lyon hold a neighbourhood for the length of the flight. In France they are booked when a launch needs scale, not just a roadside face.
Building banner advertising in France ties a brand to a place. A mall frontage, a commercial block or an airport landside becomes the picture of the campaign for anyone arriving in that district.
Gantry sites span the full width of highways around Paris and Lyon, delivering head-on impact across every lane. A signature roadside format for premium showcase campaigns in France.
Gantry advertising in France is the premium roadside buy for a highway launch. One face covers the peak flow, so the message lands with every commuter on that road.
Static billboards on the busiest arterial routes across Paris, Lyon and Marseille carry the consistent, always-on presence a campaign in France is built around.
Static billboard advertising in France is the dependable layer in a roadside plan. A known route, a single message, and enough weeks on display for the brand to stick with the people who drive it.
Backlit posters on retail streets, transit stops and mall approaches across Paris, Lyon and Marseille keep creative crisp long after dark. A dependable format for evening-heavy environments in France.
Backlit poster advertising in France is the night shift of a roadside or retail plan. When the audience is out after dark, the illuminated face keeps the brand present on the street.
