Key locations where The Madame Blanc Mysteries were shot:

1] Sannat – Sainte Victoire’s original soul (Season 1)

Sannat's village square shines as Sainte Victoire's beating heart. With camera angles, French signs, and props, this quaint Gozo setting became the crime-solving hub in Season 1 of The Madame Blanc Mysteries, with the bar La Couronne, the police station façade, and even a murder scene at the local church.

Actress Sally Lindsay admitted while speaking to Visit Gozo that she:

"...fell in love with that square...'We've got to film it here...It's just beautiful. It's a magical place."

It was also the backdrop for Jean's first village market and cliffside barnstorming ride to Ta' Cenc Cliffs, which was a dramatic opening to the mystery. Sannat Church hosted the show's first murder twist and a memorable vide grenier scene.

The nearby L-Iskoll restaurant transformed into two fictional eateries in Season 3 of The Madame Blanc Mysteries, with L'Ocean and La Somptueux being major turning points. And just a ferry ride away, Ta' Cenc's dramatic cliffs set the mood early on.

Though the series soon moved locations, Sannat laid the visual foundation, mixing intimate storytelling with scenery that feels straight out of Provence.

2] Għarb – Sainte Victoire’s serene successor (Seasons 2+)

Production for The Madame Blanc Mysteries moved to Gharb when Sannat's square underwent renovations. Gharb's stone architecture and peaceful atmosphere made it an easy replacement.

The Church of the Visitation anchors many scenes, with characters sipping at La Couronne outside or walking across its square. A tense double murder in Season 3 even occurred at the bar, which captivated the fans even more.

The village square is also the go-to spot for the police station façade. It is where Uncle Patrick and Jean's antique dealer friend first meet on honeymoon, and where dramatic events, shootings, hit and runs unfold.

The sense of community in that square mirrors Sainte Victoire's welcoming exterior, making Gharb feel like a real place with secrets hiding beneath its calm surface.

3] Victoria – A bustling masquerade for small town life

Gozo's capital, Victoria, plays multiple roles in The Madame Blanc Mysteries with the Sainte Victoire's museum, theatre, library, and upscale shops. Strolling along Triq Palma, you might recognize Vivienne Dumonet's antiques, Lloyd Gelan Gallery, or Ozanne Parfumeur.

Independence Square transforms into an open-air market for the museum exterior. The nearby Citadel often peeks into background shots, tying in local identity with Jez's antique shop takeover in the Christmas special. Victoria is the vibrant core that balances village intimacy with civic charm.

4] Xlendi & Nadur – From nightclubs to nail‑biting clues

Sleek Xlendi Bay stood in for the nightclub scene and boat drama in Season 2. On a late-night cruise, Jeremy stumbles across a startling discovery aboard his cruiser, a moment charged with atmosphere and mystery.

Nadur provides interiors too because it is where Sainte Victoire's police station cells were filmed, and where Jean hunted for a window view in Season 3, Episode 6 of The Madame Blanc Mysteries. The Christmas Market and rocky boathouses in Nadur also featured in tense revelations at the season's climax.

5] Xagħra, Għasri & Kerċem – Cottage crimes and cliffside confessions

Jean's stone cottage and Jeremy's fixer-upper in Xaghra mark pivotal character moments. Xaghra's ancient charm (check out the Ggantija Temples) frames personal breakthroughs and drama.

In Ghasri, quirky mechanic Gloria's Garage on a quiet road near Villagg Tal-Fanal offers yet another slice of village life. Kercem brings hotel party flair as the backdrop for a festive, mystery-filled Christmas special. These quieter villages help build the world of Sainte Victoire, one community at a time.

6] Malta mainland – Château, prison, and drama

Villa Francia in Lija, Malta's chateau-like estate, doubles as Jeremy and Judith's glitzy chateau for The Madame Blanc Mysteries. Actress Sally Lindsay said filming there felt "absolutely right" and it gives the series its high-society sparkle.

Elegant events, kidnappings, and even dramatic falls happen here. The former Royal Navy Prison (now a sports club) makes a cameo as the local lock-up.

Nadur's interiors and festive scenes spill onto the mainland too, bridging the island communities and connecting the dots of the mystery.
