The first To Catch a Thief location is a gorgeous establishing shot of Promenade des Anglais. This road runs along the coastline of the city of Niceso we are treated to views of the palm tree-lined beaches. It’s the scene where an older woman discovers her jewels are missing and cries out of her balcony in despair. I’m going to take an educated gue...
After a series of robberies, the French police have a meeting to plan their attack and arrest John Robie. The interior was most likely filmed at Paramount Studios, but the exterior is of Avenue du Marechal Fochalso in the Meditteranean coastal city of Nice.
The epic wide shots of cute little French villages are some of my favourite To Catch a Thief locations and luckily there are many! The first is of the police driving through the countryside to Robie’s villa. They travel on the Route de Caussols road in the village of Gourdon, which is visible in the background.
The To Catch a Thief villalocation doesn’t have a name, so I’ve pinned exactly which villa on my Google map above. This is former cat burglar John Robie’s abode which is not too shabby. I wouldn’t be mad if I had to retire somewhere similar. It’s situated in the Southern France village of Saint-Jeannet, another one of those adorable To Catch a Thie...
Since Robie manages to fool the police and escape his arrest, the police desperately attempt to catch up with him, thus a car chase ensues. The cars first drive through Le Bar-sur-Loupwhich is a small town in Provence nestled between luscious green mountains and…
…then they speed through another town in Southern France, Tourrette-sur-Loup! Which is a lively, medieval town close by. Honestly, you could plan a fantastic Southern France road trip using the To Catch a Thief locations. I don’t speak French so I’m going to go ahead and assume ‘sur-loup’ translates to ‘so lovely.’
After Robie evades arrest, he hops on a bus to Monte Carlo in Monacoto meet his old burglary pal and get the low down on what the sitch’ is. ‘Cause our man John Robie hasn’t a clue what’s going on and who is impersonating him. He walks down some stone steps on the Southwest corner of Monte Carlo Harbour to his mate’s restaurant. However, this area ...
After the young French girl, Danielle, sails Robie away from prying eyes in Monte Carlo, she drops him off in the sea next to Hotel Carlton’s private beach in Cannes. But we’ll get to that particular To Catch a Thief film location soon. Bertani arranges Robie to meet with an insurance man at a flower market in Niceto try and preempt the cat burglar...
Robie’s first targets are mother-daughter team Jessie Stevens and her daughter Frances (played by Grace Kelly). Luckily the twosome and the insurance man are all staying at the Hotel Carlton in Cannes. The To Catch a Thief hotel looks just as beautiful today as it did 60 years ago. It’s a great example of the Art Deco-style hotels that line La Croi...
After a swim in the sea, Frances drives Robie out to a villa in the countryside and they’re followed by two suspicious-looking suits. The stone, arched entrance to this villa is on Boulevard Schley, just outside the village of Grasse.
