Following the footsteps of... Angelina Jolie!

My FAVOURITE actress is THE Angelina Jolie. Omg. So amazing. So, after seeing The Tourist three times, I decided this morning to visit the places in Paris used in the film! :) There's only a brief amount spent in Paris, but I went to the main scene spots. If you've seen the film, you should recognise these.


  
1. Where the van stalking Jolie waits (big yellow X) diagonal to: 
2. Quatre Septembre Metro entrance - where Jolie stands waiting for the passenger rush (such a clever/true scene)

  

3 & 4. Entrance to metro where Jolie walks down the side (I'VE WALKED IN HER FOOTSTEPS!!)


5. The weird coloured sculpture thing opposite the cafe where she sits. This sculpture is like oversized glass beads, and is a roof over a Metro entrance.

 

6 & 7. Place de Colette - where Jolie's character sits and orders her usual 'tea with milk and croissant'. the yellow chairs, the pillars... SO REAL. :) see screenshot below:




Also, on a non-Jolie note, I saw these near Place de Colette on my Jolie-stalking adventure. At first I thought 'what horrendous Christmas decorations', but on closer inspection, it's a campaign for recycling! These are Christmas trees made out of plastic Sprite bottles. Ha!
