The first half of season two will primarily take place in Paris, France, though it won't look quite like what we think of when we think of Paris. Most familiar Parisian landmarks didn't yet exist at the time. Construction on the Eiffel Tower wasn't even started until 1887, nearly a hundred and fifty years after Claire and Jamie travel there, which is a main reason why filming is actually taking place in Scotland, England, and Prague instead of Paris itself. "It's a great setting, and what was one of the most populated cities in the world at that time," Ron Moore tells us. "French society, it's Aristocracy, the colors are brighter...It's going to look and feel very different, which is exciting."
