We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

The newly unemployed musketeers decide to have a symbolic sword and tunic barbecue in the grounds of their HQ. The Castle Petronell in Austria.

- 'Now' required
Chris reaches Paris and the (ex)Musketeers HQ. These surroundings of Paris seem to have been built near the village church of Perchtoldsdorf in Austria (south west of Liesing). There are some computer generated effects in the background to add several buildings, especially the Musketeers HQ on the left of frame (which in reality is over 30 miles away!).

King Louis (Hugh O'Conor) arrives at the Royal Palace to deliver a complaint to Cardinal Richelieu (Tim Curry). The building in the background is actually the Austrian National Library in Vienna. Some internet sites just list 'Hofburg Palace (Neue Burg)' as the location. This can be confusing because an internet search for 'Hofburg Palace' normally brings up images of the front of the main building, with a balcony that looks similar to the one in the film, but is not the same. The actual location used in the movie is on the other side of the complex (and the arches are a fake!).
