Paris, je t'aime · Filming location
Parc Montsouris
In the story · 14e arrondissement segment, finale
Alexander Payne closes the film with Carol, a postal worker from Denver, sitting on a bench in this park and feeling, in her earnest schoolgirl French, joy and sadness at the same time: 'Paris, je t'aime.' The English-style park with its lake, lawns and waterfall is one of the city's most peaceful.
