For more than a hundred years, Paris has served as a primary inspiration for filmmakers, with its iconic landscapes and streets featuring in countless cinematic productions. To capture this extensive legacy, author Ruby Boukabou has released a new publication titled ‘The Movie Lovers’ Guide to Paris,’ which compiles these notable scenes into a single comprehensive resource.
In the latest episode of France 24’s ‘Entre Nous,’ Boukabou joined the program to discuss her work. She detailed the movie-themed walking tours featured in her book, guiding viewers through some of the capital’s most visually striking and historically significant neighborhoods for cinema.
The segment highlights how the French capital continues to attract directors and productions, cementing its status as one of the world’s most cinematic cities.
Paris really does look better on screen. This guide seems perfect for anyone wanting to walk in the footsteps of their favorite movie characters.
Does it include Montmartre scenes from classic black-and-white films, or is the focus mostly on contemporary productions? Would love more details.
I wish I knew about this book before my trip! Those walking tours sound like a dream for any cinephile visiting the city.
