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?

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.
