Where was Midnight in Paris filmed?

This gentle, dreamlike comedy turned Paris itself into the object of desire, a love letter to the city's golden-hued streets and the artists who once filled them. It speaks to anyone who has ever wished they could step out of the present and into another era, which makes it an irresistible draw for travellers who want to wander the same lamplit corners and feel a little of that nostalgia.

The film keeps to real, walkable Paris. The stone steps beside the Église Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, tucked behind the Panthéon in the Latin Quarter, are where the story's midnight magic begins. Across the river, the Musée Rodin, the sculptor's elegant mansion and its garden studded with bronzes, supplies one of the film's most romantic strolls through an idealised version of the French capital.

Both spots are easy to fold into a single day on foot. Visit the Musée Rodin in daylight to enjoy the garden, then make for the church steps near closing time for that twilight mood. Pair the route with the Panthéon, the Jardin du Luxembourg and the cafés of Saint-Germain, and consider linking it to other Paris film walks for a longer cinematic itinerary.
