Famous movie locations. Whatever reason you're going to Paris, one activity that is bound to stir up excitement in the whole family is the thought of visiting and exploring famous locations that have been used in movies from both France and Hollywood. Imagine walking along the same streets as the stars, breathing the same air and standing in the spot where so many iconic lines have been uttered.

Excited? Then it's time to discover just where the top spots are to go in the beautiful French capital!If you're a fan of the award-winning French flick Amelie - full title Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain - then you've come to the right place. Fans of the film will remember how magical and mesmerising Paris appeared through the eyes of Amelie and you can see it all for yourself during your visit. The famous Notre Dame de Paris is top of the list for seeing the spot where Amelie's mother was killed by a falling Parisian during Amelie's childhood but, if you really want to see more intimate locations from this film, head to 56 Rue de Trois Freres - also known as Amelie's apartment building.

You can also spot Breathless backgrounds at Saint Germain, and 11 Rue Campagne Première - the street where main character Michel is run down at the end of the film.There's a lot to get through when it comes to movie locations in the capital of France and you could find yourself looking into Paris car rental in order to ensure you get around everywhere in time.
