Campus Drivers is a 2026 French romance drama series from Prime Videos, based on the novels by C.S. Quill. It was created by Thomas Boullé and directed by Tom Goris and Vianney Lebasque. It stars Carmen Kassovitz as Loïs and Baptiste Masseline as Lane, with Madior Fall, Esteban Vial, Félix Nebel, Enzo Lorente, Paolo Luka-Noé, Eloïse Rey, Louna Balavoine and Cassandra Cano. The story is set at a fictional American-style university, but it was filmed on the French Riviera.
Loïs starts at Belrose University with Max, the boy she has loved for years. When Max ends things just before term begins, she ends up on the doorstep of Lane, who created the campus ride app Campus Drivers. A stay meant for two nights turns into living together.
All six episodes of Season 1 arrived on Prime Video on November 6, 2026, in more than 240 countries and territories, according to the Amazon MGM Studios press page.

Filming started on October 15, 2025, and wrapped on January 26, 2026. This comes from the production listing on Crew United, as reported by Readsme, and French Wikipedia gives the same dates. We could not confirm who handled the cinematography, and we will add it as soon as it is credited.
In C.S. Quill’s books the story takes place in the United States. The series moved it to the Côte d’Azur, and Belrose University is not a real campus. It is built from several real places along the coast. French Wikipedia lists the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur as the filming area, mainly between Nice and Cannes.
📍Villa Eilenroc, Cap d’Antibes
Villa Eilenroc at 460 avenue L.D. Beaumont is the best-documented location. King of Geek reports that the Antibes council record of December 22, 2025, mentions the villa being made available to Campus Entertainment, the production company, from October 20 to 25, 2025. The same report gives the agreed amount as about 118,000 euros. The record does not say which scenes were shot inside, so we cannot match the villa to a particular episode.
The villa was built in 1867 and designed by Charles Garnier, the architect of the Paris Opéra, according to the Côte d’Azur tourism site. It sits in an 11-hectare park at the tip of the peninsula.
Visiting: The villa and park are a public heritage site run by the town of Antibes. Opening hours change through the year, so please check the Antibes tourism page before you go.
📍Plage des Ondes and Plage du Port Mallet, Cap d’Antibes
Two small beaches on the same peninsula, Plage des Ondes and Plage du Port Mallet, are reported as filming spots. French Wikipedia lists both, and fans matched them to the trailer. Prime Video has not confirmed any scene-by-scene location, so please treat these as reported only.
Visiting: Both are public beaches. Please check local conditions, since access can change with the season and weather.
📍Avenue André Sella, Antibes
An Antibes council order dated October 8, 2025, mentions a “Campus Driver” shoot on avenue André Sella, as described by Serie News. The order set aside 25 parking spaces in the upper part of the avenue, from October 21 to October 25, 2025, for crew vehicles. That tells us the crew worked nearby, but a parking order alone does not show that the street appears on screen.
Visiting: It is an ordinary public street, and we could not confirm any scene filmed there.
📍Studios de la Victorine, Nice
The same Serie News report says the city of Nice lists “Campus Driver saison 1”, linked to Amazon France, among the series hosted at the Victorine studios in 2025. We could not find which stages were used or which interiors were built there.
Visiting: Since it is a working studio, please check before visiting. We could not confirm any public access.
📍Other Areas of Nice and Cannes
French outlets say the series was shot between Nice, Cannes and Antibes, but we could not find any named street or building in Nice or Cannes. Please do not assume a particular spot, because some travel sites list places without a source.

Campus Drivers Behind the Scenes
To make your search for Campus Drivers filming even more interesting, here is a little from the production. Prime Video France announced the release date on Instagram on October 6, 2026, with a light line aimed at fans of the books.
The cast and crew also shared set material with book readers during the shoot, according to Martin Cid. The opening of casting to fans was announced by C.S. Quill herself on Prime Video France’s TikTok account.
Fun fact: The couch scene in Episode 2 had only a few lines in the book, so the two leads rehearsed it as a choreographed routine before the shoot day. Carmen Kassovitz and C.S. Quill talked about it in interviews summarised by Ayther. The cast also attended a premiere in Nice on November 4, 2026, as reported by E.mistyle, which credits BFM.
We will add more cast and crew Instagram posts and set photos here as soon as they are shared.

Yes. Prime Video released the official trailer on October 14, 2026, according to HeyUGuys, after an earlier teaser on September 29. You can watch the official trailer on Prime Video France’s YouTube channel.
All six episodes of Season 1 are streaming on Prime Video, and they were released together on November 6, 2026. You need a Prime membership. The series is in French, and we could not confirm subtitle languages. Prime Video has not announced a second season.
