To meet the needs of production companies, Renault has a fleet of around 70 vehicles representing the entire range.

Every year, Renault receives more than 300 scripts. This partnership between Renault and the film industry has produced many a great on-screen stories. A few examples:

• A gleaming Vivastella disturbs the calm of François the postman’s village in Jour de fête (1949), Jacques Tati’s masterpiece.
• In Traffic (1971) also by Jacques Tati, Monsieur Hulot is driving to the Amsterdam motorshow with a Renault 4 he converted into a revolutionary camping car, full of gadgets.
• Roger Moore as James Bond, does amazing things at the wheel of a Renault 11 in a classic sequence at the Eiffel Tower. A View to a Kill (1985) deserves its title!
