Palais-Royal Gardens

In the story · Garden confrontation

Near the end Reggie (Audrey Hepburn), the young widow everyone is chasing for her late husband's missing fortune, is lured at night to the colonnade of this garden. Unsure which of the men around her she can trust, she runs through the arcades towards the Comédie-Française next door. By day the garden, with its rows of lime trees and its fountain, is one of the calmest spots in central Paris.
