 map.jpg | Here is a map plotting our Journey around Amelies World, First through the Streets of Monmartre and then around East Station and Canal St Martin. Notre Dame and The Bridge Pont Des Arts are not shown but are easy to find down town |
 gnome.jpg | Here is 'Nino' our own travelling Gnome who came to Paris with us… unfortunatly he was so heavy he only made it out with us once when we took a walk alnone the Seine |
 lamarck.jpg | We start our Journey from Lamarck Metro Station it is here that Amelie leads the Blindman "The drum major's widow! She's worn his coat since the day he died. The horse's head has lost an ear! That's the florist laughing. He has crinkly eyes. In the bakery window, lollipops. Smell that! They're giving out melon slices. Sugarplum ice cream! We're passing the park butcher. Ham, 79 francs. Spareribs, 45! Now the cheese shop. Picadors are 12.90. Cabecaus 23.50. A baby's watching a dog that's watching the chickens. Now we're at the kiosk by the Lamarck Caulaincourt. metro. I'll leave you here. Bye!" |
 stvincent.jpg | Around the back of the Sacre Coure we find find Rue St.Martin where the story starts "On September 3, 1973 at 6.28pm and 32 sec a blue fly of the Calliphorides species, capable of flapping 14.670 beats a minute landed on St.Vincent Street Montmartre" |
 view.jpg | Walk onward to the steps in front of the Sacre Coure where "Amelie amuses herself with silly questions about the world below" |
 carousel.jpg | Walking down the steps and paths along which Nino chases the Mystery Woman. At the bottom of the Hill we find the Carousel "5pm tomorrow, Montmartre carousel. Bring 5 francs" |
 MrCollignon.jpg | Wind your way through the back streets until you find Rue Des Trios Freres, here you will find Mr Collignons shop "Hello, Amelie-mellow! A fig and three nuts, as usual?" |
 abbesses.jpg | Now take the steps down through to Rue Des Abbesses first turn left to visit Abbesses Metro where Amelie sees Nino for the first time "Groping under the photo booth we see Nino Quincampoix. When Amelie lacked playmates, Nino had too many" |
 2moulins.jpg | Double back on Rue Des Abbesses and then turn left down the Hill into Rue Lepic and visit the two Moulins "Five years later, she's a waitress in Montmartre at the Two Windmills" |
 palace.jpg | After stopping for a Coffee and a Creme Brulee, continue down the hill to Rue des Clichy on the right is the Moulin Rouge but thats the wrong film! so turn left along the red light district. On your right is Palace Video where Nino works. Continue on to Pigalle Metro where you can catch a ride to the see the rest of Amelies world |
 eaststation.jpg | Here we are at East Station, in the ticket hall where the Mystery is finally solved |
 photo.jpg | Don't forget to get your picture taken at the Photobooth! |
 steps.jpg | To the left of the East Station are the steps up which Nino chases the mystery man and Amelie chases Nino |
 sidesteps.jpg | It is here on the side steps of East Station that Amelie sits and looks at the Photo Album. I recommend you Don't sit here, as it is used as a Toilet by the local tramps! |
 stmartin.jpg | Cross over and through the park and you will reach Canal St. Martin where Amelie likes to skim stones. There are lots of locks, this is not the one at wich Amelie skims the stones, thats a little further down where the Canal disappears into the tunnel. Disappointingly you cannot stand on the locks |
 notredame.jpg | Back downtown we visited Notre Dame where Amelies Mother is killed by a Tourist from Quebec intent on Suicide |
 pontdesarts.jpg | "a strange feeling of absolute harmony. It's a perfect moment. Soft light a scent in the air, the quiet murmur of the city. She breathes deeply. Life is simple and clear. A surge of love, an urge to help mankind comes over her" |
