Movie Tourist

For two decades, I've had a passion for film locations and film-related travel. Now I'd like to share this passion and its fruits through this blog. I've amassed vast image archives that still need to be converted into posts, and there are many new findings that are still waiting to be photographed, so please be patient.

While some of these locations have been covered elsewhere, many others represent my own research and appear here for the first time. I hope you'll enjoy the site.

Love in the Afternoon (1957)

dir. Billy Wilder

Private detective Claude Chavasse (Maurice Chevalier) spying from the top of the Vendôme Column – Place Vendôme, Paris, France

Frank Flannagan's (Gary Cooper) hotel – The Ritz, 15 Place Vendôme, Paris, France. Audrey Hepburn revisited the Ritz in How to Steal a Million, only this time to see Peter O'Toole there. The legendary hotel was closed in 2012, and reopened in June 2016 after extensive renovations.

Chavasse's apartment where he lives with his daughter Ariane (Audrey Hepburn) – 17 Rue Malebranche, Paris, France. The same section of the street has since appeared in Bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers and Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.
