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.
