Three days to follow Amélie across Paris: her Montmartre, the station of the photo booths, the canal where she skips stones, and the river with Notre-Dame and the Pont des Arts.
The stops
1Amélie's Montmartre
Rue Saint-Vincent

About these stops
A full day on the hill, from the lane where the film begins to the café where Amélie works. Mornings are quietest for the square and the market streets; the basilica steps glow at golden hour, and the 1928 cinema is for the evening.
2Nino's Paris
About these stops
The love story leaves Montmartre. The station's photo booths hold the film's small mystery, the torn portraits Nino collects. Then the canal of the most quoted shot: find the stone steps down to the water and come at golden hour.
3The Seine
About these stops
The prologue and a turning point. In front of the cathedral, the darkly comic death of Amélie's mother; on the wooden footbridge to the Louvre, her sudden wish to help everyone. The padlocks were removed in 2015, and sunset is the time to cross.
