What To Expect

Musée de l'Orangerie (Pass By)

The movie featured the famous paintings as a backdrop for a few scenes. So were the Waterlilies by Monet. The famous series can be seen at the Musee de l’Orangerie in the Jardin des Tuileries in the center of Paris. Get a closer look at the masterpiece and learn what is so captivating about it and what makes it so special.

Musée Rodin

Reach another wonderful museum, visited by Gil and Inez together with Paul and Carol in the movie. The Rodin Museum is located in the 7th arrondissement and is an 18th-century house where the artist used to live and work. Recall a scene where Paul tells his friends incorrect information about the museum and gets to know true facts about it, Rodin, and its works while walking through the museum’s gardens.

Palace of Versailles (Pass By)

Located 19 km west of Paris, the Palace of Versailles is famous for its grandeur and majestic architecture, which got it on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It dates back to the Middle Ages, when it started out as a hunting lodge and then grew into the glittering residence of French kings. Recognize the place in the gardens where Midnight in Paris was shot, and remember some locations inside the building. As some of the locations are not for everyone, Allen was able to receive special permission to film there.

Le Bristol Paris

Witness the palace-like hotel just a step away from the Champs Elysees. It is a luxurious hotel with a unique style; spacious, light rooms and suites with original details. Since 1925, it’s been welcoming its visitors with splendor. Woody Allen was one of its guests while filming Midnight in Paris, and the hotel featured in some scenes, which were shot in the hotel lobby and in the restaurant.

Le Grand Véfour

Another significant place in Paris is Le Grand Vefour, the first big restaurant in the French capital, which opened in 1784 as the Café de Chartres. This is a top-notch place that boasts historic traditions, a romantic atmosphere, and exquisite dishes. Located in the 1st arrondissement, this Michelin-starred restaurant is a great place to shoot a movie.

Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont

Explore the Latin Quarter to find the location of one of the most crucial scenes of the movie. The church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont is a hidden gem of Paris, tucked away behind the Pantheon. Marvel at the fascinating asymmetrical Gothic architecture with some Renaissance elements and get to know the history of the church that took over a hundred years to build. This is also the final resting place of Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. Midnight in Paris features the steps of the church as well as the surrounding Latin Quarter with the picturesque and exuberant Rue de la Montagne Sainte Geneviève.

Chopard

Continue discovering the French capital and see one of the most famous squares in Paris. Louis XIV ordered to build that square and his statue was erected in the middle.

Le Meurice

The five-star hotel in the 1st arrondissement of Paris was featured in the movie in a scene where the characters have drinks on the hotel rooftop bar and go out of the entrance later.

Marché aux Puces

Hunt for antiques strolling through one of the largest flea markets in the world, located at Clingancourt. It offers all kinds of things, from vintage clothing to antique furniture.

Deyrolle

Surprisingly, one of the most bizarre places in Midnight in Paris really exists in Paname. Deyrolle is an old taxidermist store, founded in 1831. It sells vintage stuffed animals and other curious things. If you recall, the movie featured a cocktail party scene within its walls.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Seine River

The city of Paris is built along the River Seine, the main waterway of the capital. Take a nice walk along the river as you remember Gil, as portrayed by Owen Wilson, strolling the same path. Admire wonderful views and soak in the atmosphere of the city as you notice some special features, like bouquinistes. These are green stalls with some antique books, newspapers, postcards, and other items.

5 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Pont-Neuf

Wandering along the river, see the oldest bridge in Paris, which is actually called Pont Neuf (the New Bridge). The 232-meter-long bridge was built in 1607, and now it remains one of the iconic landmarks of Paris. It crosses the River Seine, running from Quai du Louvre to Quai de Conti through the Ile de la Cite. The movie was filmed near the bridge, capturing its striking beauty and grandeur.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Square Jean XXIII

In the beautiful garden of Square Jean-XXIII, Gil asks the guide to translate a book excerpt for him. This cozy place, located next to Notre Dame Cathedral, welcomes its visitors with a peaceful vibe and wonderful cherry blossoms. After the cathedral was heavily damaged in a fire in April 2019, the garden was temporarily closed.

Polidor

Le Polidor is a traditional Parisian restaurant located near the Odeon Theater. It offers the best delicacies of French cuisine, with typical dishes and desserts. It has a unique history dating back to 1845, and it is considered one of the oldest bistros in Paris. The movie featured the restaurant in one of the most important scenes, where Owen Wilson’s character encounters Hemingway in his foray in the 1920s. Take a chance and enjoy some drinks there to mark a visit to this significant place.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Shakespeare and Company Bookstore

The movie’s particular attention is focused on the writers from the 1920s, so the symbolic Shakespeare and Company English-language bookstore made its way into the film. Although this is not the authentic store that was frequented by Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein, it was shot to give flashbacks to those times. The original Sylvia Beach’s bookstore closed in 1941.

Musee des Arts Forains (Pass By)

Enjoy visiting one of the most entertaining museums in Paris. Musee des Arts Forains exhibits all types of fairground rides, vintage carousels, and other fabulous magical things.

Get that feeling of being in the 1920s like the protagonist of the movie and revisit the scene of his confrontation with Hemingway.

Pont Alexandre III

Marvel at a fine example of Beaux Arts architecture style: the most beautiful bridge in Paris, Pont Alexandre III. Rich decorations and ornaments made it one of the iconic sites of the City of Love, which has been a great attraction for tourists since 1900. The bridge connects the banks of the Petit Palais and the Grand Palais. The final scenes of Midnight in Paris featured this amazing bridge, which looks incredible even in the rain.
