Cafe des Deux Moulins, Paris

Cafe des Deux Moulins, Paris

Situated in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris, the Café des Deux Moulins derives its name from the two historical windmills nearby, the Moulin Rouge and the Moulin de la Galette. Thanks to its appearance in the 2001 film "Amélie", where it served as the workplace of the title character, the café has gained considerable fame and has become a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can expect the interior of the café to be exactly as it was in the movie, with Amelie memorabilia decorating the window on the side street and photos of lead actress Audrey Tautou smiling at them from behind the glass. Although the original owner has sold the café (under the condition that the interior remains intact), the quality/price ratio is still remarkable, with the vegetarian dishes being particularly impressive.
