Boulevard de Courcelles (Parc Monceau)

In the story · Parc Monceau segment (titled 17e; the park itself is in the 8e)

Alfonso Cuarón's segment is one unbroken tracking shot of Nick Nolte and Ludivine Sagnier walking and bickering down Boulevard de Courcelles toward Villiers métro, until the twist reveals he is her father, on babysitting duty. Walk the same pavement past Parc Monceau's gilded railings and 19th-century mansions and the shot recreates itself.

Where to stand for the photo

Start near the park's rotunda gate at 35 Boulevard de Courcelles and walk east filming, keeping the railings on your right and the Villiers junction ahead; the shot ends at a corner café-bakery close to the métro.
