Rue Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre & Rue Galande

In the story · Opening walk after the book signing

Leaving the bookshop, Jesse and Céline set off on the first long take of their afternoon, past the little church of Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre and into cobbled Rue Galande, finally asking each other who did or didn't turn up in Vienna. Both streets, with the Studio Galande cinema and Paris's oldest tree in Square Viviani, are unchanged.

Where to stand for the photo

Walk with the camera as the Steadicam did: start at the corner of Rue de la Bûcherie and keep the church facade on your right, then turn into Rue Galande.
