Hôtel de Suède (15 Quai Saint-Michel)

The real Hôtel de Suède, where Godard shot the film's famous 25-minute bedroom scene in Patricia's room 12, with Michel and Patricia smoking, teasing and quoting Faulkner. Gutted in the 1990s, it is now the Hôtel Les Rives de Notre-Dame, and the Pont Saint-Michel beside it is the film's first Paris shot.
