Make it yours
Tell Roseo how to rework the plan — e.g. "more food, fewer stops", "add the Louvre on day 2", "slower mornings".
Your trip footprint
✈ ~222 kg CO₂e by air or 🚆 ~50 kg by train (round trip, 2 travellers) + ~30 kg for 3 nights (one room, ADEME France avg).
Reduce first — taking the train cuts transport emissions by 77%. For what remains, you can support certified climate projects.
Contribute to certified climate projects →A contribution supports independently verified projects (Gold Standard). It does not make your trip "carbon neutral".
Live prices and availability come from the partners (Skyscanner, Trainline, Booking.com) with your dates and party pre-filled where supported — Roseo redirects and never processes payment (Phase 1). Carbon methodology: flights and rail use DEFRA/ADEME per-passenger-km factors; hotel stays use the ADEME France average (~10 kg CO₂e per room-night, all classes). Estimates only (±15%) — Roseo shows impact, it does not certify it. ESG practices are self-declared by each property; GSTC-aligned third-party verification arrives in Phase 2.

Shakespeare and Company
5e · Opening scene
Where Jesse is reading from his novel when Celine appears — the film's opening reunion is shot inside this actual bookshop.
Framing · Interior — shoot from the back of the shop toward the front windows; the yellow light wash is the signature.
Access · public
Métro Saint-Michel (L4) · best midday
- 2
Le Pure Café
11e · Café conversation
The corner café where Jesse and Celine sit — exterior and interior both used. The round corner with two-side awnings is iconic for film fans.
Framing · Across the street at the Rue Jean-Macé corner, frame both facades of the wedge-shaped building.
Access · public (open café)
Métro Charonne (L9) · best afternoon
- 3
Promenade Plantée (Coulée Verte)
12e · Walk sequence
The elevated garden-walk on the old rail viaduct — the high-line walking sequence is shot here. Look for the rose arches.
Framing · Mid-path, facing east under a rose arch — Haussmann rooftops below in peripheral view.
Access · public
Métro Gare de Lyon (L1/L14) · best afternoon
- 4
Square Trousseau
12e · Closing walk
The leafy residential square near Celine's apartment — filmed in the closing moments. Quiet, local, exactly what the film's ending needs.
Framing · From the fountain at center, frame the square's Haussmann facades in any direction.
Access · public
Métro Ledru-Rollin (L8) · best afternoon
- 5
Seine River — Bateau-mouche route near Quai de la Tournelle
5e · Boat conversation
The river-boat sequence — shot on a working bateau-mouche. Board at Port de la Bourdonnais; the eastern stretch near Notre-Dame matches the film.
Framing · From the upper deck facing east; keep Notre-Dame's southern flank in the right third.
Access · ticket_required
Métro Pont Marie (L7) · best golden_hour
