Tips from the community
*Hint* Try out the photo booth, just like Amelie for a chance to meet your one true love- or solidify a memory in Paris. This old train station makes a significant appearance in the movie, as the destination that helps spur Amelie's destined romance. The liminal space of train stations, people coming and going, missed connections, is an amplified theme in the Amelie universe, and the beautiful architecture of the building doesn't hurt either.

Places in Paris From The Movie Amelie
madeleineray (Madeleine Ray) A romantic look into the daily life of a young woman finding herself and love in a hectic city, Amelie is an authentic look into the quaint and dreamy daily scenery of Montmarte. As a major fan of this film, with the soundtrack stuck in my head on repeat, I wanted to make a little list of some of my favorite spots from Amelie's quirky life. From the retro cafe she worked at to the glistening streets surrounding Sacre Coeur, let's take a little scooter ride through Paris and fly down memory lane of one of the city's most famed movies.
