in the footsteps of Amélie Poulain

Amélie Poulain is the face of Montmartre. No one has forgotten this heroine: 23 years after the release of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s film, visits are still organized to the filming locations. In 2001, the success of the feature film, nominated five times for an Oscar, contributed to the return of tourists to France. It returns to the screens this summer and rekindles the flame for this Paris of postcards.There are a lot of Americans. It remains the Paris they imagine, the Paris they saw in the movies.”explains the guide and creator of “Ciné-balade”, Juliette Dubois.

To feel like Amélie, there is nothing more typical than going to the Café des Deux Moulins or the Colignon grocery store, which has since been renamed. With the success of the Olympic Games, the memory box has opened. At the foot of the Sacré-Cœur, tourists are still looking to rediscover the soul of the real Paris.
