Gare de l'Est
In the story · Station and photo booth scenes
The station of the photo booth scenes: the booths where Nino collects torn-up portraits are at the heart of the film's little mystery. The walk with the blind man is not here: it is in Montmartre, past the shops of Rue Lepic and up to the steps of Lamarck-Caulaincourt metro.
