Frank Martins House / Cassis, France

Frank Martin's house in The Transporter movie was actually a "set" built on a site in Cassis, France that serves as a terrace area for a restaurant called La Presqu'ile in the Port Miou area of Cassis, France.

​​

​

In the movie, Frank Martin (Jason Statham) hijacks a small powered motorboat after he kidnaps Inspector Tarconi.

​

These scenes were filmed very near where the set was built for the house, Port of Cassis.

​

In the movie the name plaque on the boat indicates "Cassis" on one side and "Manon" on the other side. To the left is a picture of the actual motorboat used in the movie: "The Manon".

 

This picture (left) was taken in 2010 in the main harbor in the town of Cassis, France. The boat is part of a small fleet of vessels that are used for seasonal fishing and tourist activities.

​

The producers of the movie rented the "Manon" for 3 days and a larger vessel to film from.
