Lamarck-Caulaincourt Metro and Rue Lamarck
In the story · Amélie guides the blind man
Amélie, the shy young waitress at the heart of the film, takes a blind man by the arm and rushes him past the shops of Rue Lepic, describing everything they pass at top speed, then leaves him at the top of the metro steps, dazzled. The station, with its double staircase built into the slope of Montmartre, is the one in the film. The shops she describes are on Rue Lepic, lower down the hill, not right at the steps.
