Context

Relais & Châteaux is the world's leading collection of exceptional properties. As part of a production commissioned by agency R2, several film series were produced to showcase label members across the globe — 12 destinations filmed, over 30 assets delivered across all platforms.

Challenges

Two main editorial directions: a Slow Food series demonstrating the short and ethical supply chains used by member chefs, and an influencer series where creators travelled to destinations to define what luxury means to them — poetic, inspirational films with voice-over and illustrative footage shot in the label's most exclusive properties. All productions were delivered in short-form social media versions.

A portrait of Mirazur, Mauro Colagreco's restaurant in Menton. A film that follows the rhythm of the garden, the seasons, and a cuisine that looks out to sea.

International collaboration with local crews, filming in live properties, requiring rapid adaptation to each unique environment.
