Every Stop Has a Story

Curiosities and Antiques

In the most prestigious section of the world's largest antique market, Gil browses vintage records and meets Gabrielle, a young merchant who shares his affection for the music and objects of earlier generations.

Montmartre Strolls

Behind the Sacré-Cœur, this steep street of stone stairs and old lampposts evokes the bohemian "village on a hill" where Picasso and Modigliani once lived in poverty.

Lost in the Moulin Rouge

Gil and Adriana come face-to-face with Toulouse-Lautrec at this cabaret, only to find that the Belle Époque's own artists long for the Renaissance.

A Gilded Cage

Gil and Inez stay at this five-star hotel on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, where Birman cats patrol the lobby and are treated like the hotel's human dignitaries.

Elegant Maxim's Supper

Gil and Adriana step out of their carriage and into the Belle Époque at Maxim's, the era in which life finally feels meaningful to Adriana.

High Society Sparkle

Inez and her mother shop for jewelry on this square, whose central column was cast from the bronze of enemy cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.

Pretentious Wine Tasting

The characters gather for a wine tasting on the rooftop terrace of this palace hotel's Belle Étoile Suite, with panoramic views of the Tuileries Garden and the Eiffel Tower.

Water Lilies Reflection

Monet himself requested the curved walls and natural overhead light of these oval rooms, where Gil and Paul spar over the Water Lilies.

Rain on the River

In the film's final scene, Gil walks across Paris's most ornate bridge in the rain with Gabrielle, who shares his belief that the city is most beautiful when wet.

Rodin's Sculpture Garden

Carla Bruni, France's First Lady at the time, plays the guide at this museum, where Paul contradicts her about Rodin's personal life.

Taxidermy Cocktail Soiree

This taxidermy shop, founded in 1831 and filled with giraffes, lions, and butterflies, hosts the film's surrealist party, where Gil pitches a film idea to a baffled Luis Buñuel.

Gertrude Stein's Salon

Gertrude Stein's real apartment sheltered Picasso and Matisse before they were famous, and in the film Kathy Bates plays Stein as a mentor who gives Gil the rigorous critique he lacks.

Hemingway's Literary Den

Gil finds the courage to ask Hemingway for a literary opinion at this bistro, which has kept its communal tables, lace curtains, and vintage mirrors for more than a century.

Belle Epoque Dining

A horse-drawn carriage arrives in this intimate square to carry Gil and Adriana back to the Belle Époque, the era Adriana considers the true Golden Age.

Shakespeare and Company

Gil browses the crowded shelves of this famous bookshop, which George Whitman opened in 1951 to carry on Sylvia Beach's literary legacy.

Riverside Book Browsing

At the green bookstalls along this stretch of the Seine, Gil stumbles upon a journal that links his modern life to his adventures in the 1920s.

Adriana's Diary Translation

In this park behind Notre-Dame, the guide from the Rodin Museum translates Adriana's diary for Gil, who is amazed to find himself in its pages.

Waiting for the Magic Hour

Gil sits alone on the side steps of this church at midnight, waiting for the vintage Peugeot that carries him into the past.

Jazz Age Social Club

Gil and the Fitzgeralds head along this street to Bricktop's jazz club, even though the real Bricktop's was in Montmartre, and on a later night Hemingway leads Gil here to meet Gertrude Stein.

Nostalgia at the Fair

Gil and Adriana party among wooden carousel horses at this museum of vintage fairground rides, set in Bercy's historic wine warehouses.
