I'm watching the airfares daily. Can't wait to return. Is there any other city that can make you react like Paris? I haven't found one yet. There are many that I liked, but there's only one I dream of!!!

Darn, Avalon! Kerouac, thanks for the link.

Thanks, Kerouac! We are going to the movie tonight after all this talk of Paris!

It was a lot like "The Tourist" where

Venice was the star of the show actors/plot

rather muddled typiical woody allen schtik.

Lots of familiar places for me though especially

where they picked up Owen Wilson up every night

Almost clocked a tout dude twice my size

for harrassing my wife on that spot...

worth seeing for all who love Paris and history.

Now I'm jealous....no release dates for Australia yet.

Let me see I will have to go to see Paris myself......oh yes thats right I will be there in September!!! Woohoo!!

kerouac,

Thank you for the film locations. I did not recognize St. Etienne Dumont and will have to go back and visit it again.

Loooooooooved this film!!!! It was so much fun to whisper to my DH and him back to me all the places we knew especially in the opening sequence,


Sooo glad we are just about 5 wks away from going to my fav place: PARIS!

Saw it last weekend and want to see it again!!I also came home and got right on line to check air prices!!So longing to go back and have only been home 2 months!!Am sooooo jealous of those who are going soon!

Kerouac, you da man! Great link. I read a review before I saw it that it was very "traditional" Paris, i.e. no outer arrondissements, of which I am fond. Of course, it didn't matter because I love central Paris as well. But I hadn't realized that was actually Saint-Ouen. It looked way too classy to me. Unless I am mixing up my flea markets...? or it's just that I haven't been there in years....

The Saint Ouen flea market has some very fancy areas. I think my flea market photo report from last year showed just about all of the areas: http://tinyurl.com/5rmxlk9

And for another filming location, the place they rode the carrousel is one of the coolest places in Paris, even though it is not often open to the public: http://tinyurl.com/6znmrwy

Well, after viewing the movie last night I'm glad I already have tickets booked for Paris or I would be on the computer looking to get there asap!

It really took us back to some of our favorite spots and gave a few new ones to seek out on our next visit.

jobo, you are right. You will want to be on the next plane to Paris after seeing this film!

Frankly, it is perhaps the only Woody Allen film for which I would like to see a sequel. What happens next to Owen Wilson?

Good Job Kerouac, Merci.

I think I will go tomorrow... First of three children has just graduated HS. Wonderful four years and the last month has been filled with parties and concerts and other great events. Now he is off to Spain for his second visit in 4 months - 1st as exchange student and now again to revisit the family for his graduation gift, but mom needs a trip somewhere - possibly even without kids... Hmmm. There's a thought... There needs to be an adult exchange program I think. :) I guess seeing the movie will be my mini get away for now...

I definitely recognized Deyrolle and St Ouen and the restaurants.

"A lot of kilometers on her odometer". Kerouac, you slay me!

I just saw this movie this afternoon, and enjoyed it and some of the scenes. I didn't like that so much of it was very yellow (especially at the beginning), not sure why they did that or what atmosphere that was supposed to produce. I could see it in the scenes that were supposed to be back in time, but I didn't understand why they opened with a lot of yellow photography. It reminded me of these sunglasses I have with yellow lenses.

My friend was complaining about the amount of French in it that wasn't translated and she didn't understand why they did that. I could actually understand all of it (for once, usually I can't understand a lot of the spoken dialogue in French films made in France), because they were speaking very clear French, and relatively slowly. I guess that's because most weren't native French speakers, but they all had pretty good sccents, I thought.

....French not being translated....speaking clear French......native French speakers..?????
what version of the movie did you see???? I saw the movie twice...English with French subtitles
in France & English in USA....Christina, please explain.

Besides everything that's already been said here, the music was fantastic! Sidney Bechet and Cole Porter! I'm glad I have my tickets for September!!!

I agree, it won't win any major awards but damn, that was a well spent 90 minutes! Talk about getting a Paris fix. We returned from Paris in May and like many others here, it made me want to book another ticket.

Honestly, I just really liked this movie WAAAAY more than I thought I would! Gorgeous scenary and it was such a fun movie!
