Paris Right Bank Movie Location: Rue des Barres in le Marais
Rue des Barres in le Marais. Photo: ©Mikki Ansin 2012 Mikki says: This Paris scene on rue des Barres (behind Chez Julien) in le Marais, as captured, looks so perfectly authentic that you might think it was a movie set decorated by a professional. But ah, it is Paris, and it is the real thing. The location is one of my favorite corners of Paris, just across from the Pont Louis-Philippe on the Right Bank. This exact scene was used as a location in filming the The Pink Panther—not the original 1963 version with Peter Sellers, though it may have been in it—but the 2006 version with Steve Martin (which I saw in Paris at a midnight showing). Rue des Barres in movie still for “The Pink Panther” (2006 remake) starring Steve Martin. Movie still ©20th Century Fox. Right around the corner on rue du Pont Louis-Phillipe is the famous stationer Papier Plus: paper, pencils, and blank books in gorgeous colors and stark modern design. Next to that is the Galerie Agathe Gaillard, which specializes in photography. And it’s where I want to be!   Mikki Ansin is a photojournalist and Francophile who loves the colors of France.
