Finding a good restaurant to take your lover to on Valentine's Day is all too classic! And good luck finding an address that isn't already full... Try an original approach instead! If your other half is a cinephile, we can assure you that he or she will have a much better evening on a romantic stroll to discover the filming locations of the most cult rom-coms shot in Paris. We've even come up with a few ideas.
Ever since the release of Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, the Montmartre district and the surrounding area have been a staple of romantic strolls. And since the exteriors are shot entirely on real sets, you can easily find the film's shooting locations: the Colignon grocery store on rue des Trois-Frères, the Lamarck-Caulincourt metro station and, of course, Square Willette, where Amélie and Nino meet.
Head to the 5th arrondissement for a Woody Allen romance. In Minuit à Paris (Midnight in Paris), Owen Wilson's character travels back in time to the Roaring Twenties, climbing into a car on rue de la Montagne Sainte-Geneviève. There, he meets Adriana, played by Marion Cotillard, and begins a love affair with her in the heart of theLatin Quarter. A place steeped in history and romance, perfect for a romantic stroll.
Another favorite spot for filmmakers. From Before Sunset to the eponymous Les Amants du Pont-neuf, the Pont-neuf is the perfect place to enjoy a magnificent view of central Paris, hand in hand, and why not take a little boat trip?
And while we're on the subject of bridges, how could we not end with the most romantic spot in Paris? Although you can no longer hang padlocks on the Pont des Arts to symbolize your love, you can still marvel at all the feature films that have been shot there. FromAmélie Poulain to Paris Belongs To Us, and even Cars 2, the bridge is the symbol of love par excellence. It may not be the most original location for a Valentine's Day event, but it's sure to make an impression!
