Amélie · Filming location
Rue Saint-Vincent
In the story · Opening: the bluebottle fly
The film opens here: the narrator notes the exact second a bluebottle fly lands on this cobbled lane in Montmartre, the same moment that Amélie is conceived. Beside the hill's vineyard, it is one of the quietest corners of Montmartre, and many visitors walk right past it.
