One thing that I learned from school is to seek visual aids when trying to gather information on any interest. And so, in seeking data for Paris, I have selected these top ten movies that show scenes taken at the city of lights. These are not personal choice, rather a compilation of what other websites say the best movie sets in Paris were.
French Kiss – A 1995 romantic comedy film that starred Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline. Hotel George V is where one of the characters stayed. Eiffel Tower, Louvre Pyramid, Arc de Triomphe, Rive Droite and Montmarte were the background during the movie’s climax, while Gare Saint-Lazare train station was the last area shown about Paris.
Amelie – A Academy Award nominated comedy film of 2001 that starred Audrey Tautou. Shot entirely within Montmarte of 18th arrondissement, the highest point of Paris. Some scenes showed Cathedral of Notre Dame, Basilica of the Sacre Coeur and St. Martin Canal.
