Ratatouille · Real place that inspired the film
Le Train Bleu (Gare de Lyon)
In the story · Inspiration for Gusteau's dining room
Gusteau's gilded dining room was composed from several Paris addresses, and this 1901 station brasserie, all frescoed ceilings, gold leaf and velvet banquettes, was one of the models the Pixar team drew on. Climb the double staircase from the concourse and you are inside the film's idea of grand French dining.

Where to stand for the photo
From the doorway of the Grande Salle shoot along the axis of the room so the painted ceiling, chandeliers and banquettes recede together.
