Following the footsteps of Amélie
So I walked round Paris after my amazing achievement of finding H&M, got quite lost, and then suddenly I saw the most wonderful building (although not as amazing as Notre Dame...), and instantly knew it was la basilique du Sacré-Cœur. I've never been there before - we ran out of time to go and see it when I was in Paris last year. So I went up to see it, and there were so many tourist shops and stalls!! Then, using Frommer's Guide, I managed to find parts of Montmartre where Amelie was filmed!! It was very exciting seeing Cafe des deux Moulins - they've kept the '50's' look to it, it's almost exactly the same like it was in the film, and there's even a large garden gnome in one of the windows - a 'key' object in the film. I hope to go back to Montmartre soon and spend longer there. The day I went, it was absolutely HEAVING.
