The weepie adaptation of Jojo Moyes’ bestseller unfolds in the shadow of a storybook English castle – the real Pembroke Castle in Wales – with a whirl of romantic getaways from Paris to a sun-baked “Mauritius” that’s actually Spain.
Where was Me Before You filmed?
Me Before You was filmed in Wales (Pembroke Castle and town), England, Paris and Spain (as the tropical resort), with pickups at Pinewood Studios.
Every Me Before You location, explained
The castle – Pembroke, Wales
The film’s grand castle, overlooking Lou and Will’s world, is the medieval Pembroke Castle in Pembrokeshire, with the town’s Main Street (and Brown’s Cafe) close by.
Paris – the romantic finale
The emotional Paris scenes, including a terrace by Notre-Dame, were filmed on location in the city.
The tropical resort – Spain
The luxury island getaway was shot not in the tropics but in Extremadura, Spain, standing in for a far-flung resort.
England – the wedding and airport
English locations filled in the rest, including a wedding at a church in Chenies and Sandown Park as an airport exterior.
Planning a visit
Pembroke Castle in Wales is a magnificent, well-preserved medieval fortress open to visitors, and the town of Pembroke around it is a charming Pembrokeshire base – the film’s romantic heart.
