Before Sunset · Filming location
Cour de l'Étoile d'Or (Céline's courtyard)
In the story · Finale: Céline's apartment
The car turns in through this gateway and the film ends in Céline's leafy courtyard flat, where she plays Jesse her waltz and dances to Nina Simone: 'Baby, you are gonna miss that plane.' The cobbled 18th-century cour, one of the hidden artisans' courtyards of the old furniture-makers' faubourg, is private and its gate is usually closed.

Where to stand for the photo
Shoot from the opposite pavement of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine so the carriage gateway and its 'Cour de l'Étoile d'Or' lettering are centred; peek through when the gate is open.
