How to watch the Les Visiteurs movies in order

Les Visiteurs is one of France's biggest comedy hits ever, a time-travel romp whose sequels and Hollywood remake make the watch order surprisingly tricky.

Directed by Jean-Marie Poiré, Les Visiteurs stars Jean Reno as the medieval knight Godefroy de Montmirail and Christian Clavier as his grubby servant Jacquouille la Fripouille. A botched spell sends them from the 12th century to 1990s France, where they wreak havoc on modern life. Two French sequels followed, along with the English-language remake Just Visiting.

🕐 Release Order

Here are all the Les Visiteurs films in release order.

  1. Les Visiteurs (1993)
  2. Les Couloirs du temps: Les Visiteurs II (1998)
  3. Just Visiting (2001)
  4. Les Visiteurs: La Révolution (2016)

Just Visiting retells the original story in Chicago, so it sits outside the main French timeline.

📖 Story Chronology

The French films form one continuous adventure, with La Révolution sending Godefroy and Jacquouille into the Reign of Terror of 1793, while Just Visiting is a standalone remake with Reno and Clavier reprising their roles.

  1. Les Visiteurs (1993)
  2. Les Couloirs du temps: Les Visiteurs II (1998)
  3. Les Visiteurs: La Révolution (2016)
  4. Just Visiting – American remake (2001)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Start with the 1993 original; it's a genuine comedy classic. Continue with Les Visiteurs II and La Révolution to complete the French trilogy, and treat Just Visiting as an optional curiosity for English-speaking audiences.
