Montmartre is one of the most atmospheric film locations in Paris, made globally famous by the 2001 cult film Amélie. The neighbourhood’s winding streets, vintage cafés and hillside views were a perfect backdrop for the film’s whimsical portrayal of Parisian life. One of the most visited spots is the real-life café Café des Deux Moulins, where Amélie works in the film. Unlike many movie locations that are recreated or closed off, this café is still open today and operates as a fully functioning Parisian brasserie. It remains a popular film pilgrimage site, attracting visitors from around the world who come to sit where scenes from Amélie were filmed and explore the surrounding Montmartre streets, which still retain much of their old village charm above modern Paris.
