Underground Advertising in France

We plan underground media across Paris, Lyon and Marseille in France. Once someone is inside the network they stay there for the whole journey, which is long enough to read a panel rather than glance at it. We book gates, platforms and carriages together. We check availability with the operator before you commit. Tell us the dates and the budget, and we will send a site list within 48 hours.

Underground Advertising Formatsin France

France offers a range of underground media formats suited to different campaign objectives, locations and creative requirements.

Images below are for illustrative purposes only. They are not specific to one location.

  • London Underground advertising in the United Kingdom: Liberty posters reading A gift less ordinary line the wall beside an escalator.

    Escalator Panels

    Digital and static escalator panels on France's underground network give brands the closest thing outdoor has to a captive-screen moment on the ride between platform and street.

    Escalator panel advertising in France is one of the few outdoor surfaces that can run a sequence. The ride is slow and the sightline is fixed, so a story can unfold between street and platform.

  • London Underground platform advertising: a long Ripple poster along the tunnel wall reads Progress is worth more than promises, as a red train arrives.

    Posters

    4, 6, 12, 16, 48 and 96-sheet posters across France's underground network cover platforms, tunnels and station corridors. The same commuters pass them every weekday.

    Poster advertising in France scales from a 4-sheet in a corridor to a 96-sheet across the tracks. A single campaign can cover intimate station sites and landmark cross-track positions together.

  • London Underground station domination advertising in the United Kingdom: a Charlotte Tilbury takeover covers the walls, ceiling and floor of a tunnel.

    Station Domination

    A station domination in France is one journey: entrance, escalator, platform and gate, booked together at a flagship underground station.

    Station domination in France makes the commute the campaign. Entrance, escalators, platforms and gates are planned as one sequence, so the station itself carries the brand.

  • London Underground advertising in the United Kingdom: commuters pass ticket gates wrapped in Boss advertising.

    Ticket Gateways

    Branded ticket-gate wraps and adjacent portrait screens across France's underground stations deliver first-and-last brand touchpoints on every journey.

    Ticket gateway advertising in France sits on the start and end of every journey. Gate wraps and the screens beside them meet the same commuters twice a day, all week.
