Pin It

Yesterday I went to see the latest Woody Allen movie, Midnight in Paris and today I have been thinking about all things French. The beginning of the film is a picture postcard of memorable French landmarks and throughout the film you are presented with a visual delight of the allure and beauty of Paris. Since seeing the film, I have researched some of the locations of filming and would like to share my visual delight.

This is the official poster from the movie Midnight in Paris

This is the hotel location Hotel Le Bristol where many of the scenes were filmed in Paris.
