Village Saint-Paul (Rue des Jardins-Saint-Paul)

In the story · Marais walk, Rue des Jardins-Saint-Paul to Rue Saint-Paul

A jump cut carries the pair across the river into the Marais: they walk beside the longest surviving stretch of Philippe Auguste's medieval wall, turn into Rue Charlemagne, squeeze through tiny Rue Eginhard and pass under the arch of Rue Saint-Paul while Céline talks about her environmental work. The lanes of the Village Saint-Paul are as quiet today as on screen.

From the Rue de l'Ave-Maria corner shoot north along the old wall with the dome of Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis rising ahead, then follow the couple's route right into Rue Charlemagne.
