Cinema can make a person fly

Amelie

I don't deny that I often grow my travel inspirations from movies and look for its vestige once I landed the place. I personally believe that this way I can add more joy to a simple sightseeing and just walking on anonymous streets can even turn into extraordinary experience.

Monmartre was no exception; a town of Amélie♥

Montmartre

Indeed real Monmartre was a town of great charms which we can't find in the rest of Paris. Time flows with peace and I noticed that people walk much slower than what we they normally do in Paris downtown.

Place du Tertre

One of my goal at Monmartre was to get my self-portrait from those street painters. While some of the artists offered pretty crazy price just for a casual self-portrait I was lucky to find a nice lady painter who even had a student deal.

getting self portrait

Being a model was much tougher than I expected!;P Hope the painter wasn't too anoyed of my bad modeling.

Les Deux Moulins

Amyone noticed where it is? Yes, Café des 2 Moulins, Amélie's worklplace;).

Hi Mihiro, it doesn't matter that you take inspiration from movies or books. In my view, it matters that you visit lovely places. I must say that road side cafes in Paris are really good.
