Midnight in Paris

Midnight in Paris movie tour, a cinematic journey through time in the heart of the Latin Quarter

In the streets of the Latin Quarter, rediscover the settings of the film that pays tribute to the capital, and soak up the magic and whimsy of its story. Like the film’s protagonist, Ciné-Balade invites you to travel back in time and rediscover 1920s Paris.

We’ll meet legendary writers and artists who once found refuge in the city, and mention a few other films shot in the same streets. A clever mix of local history and cinematic magic, with photos and clips on a tablet.

  • Truly magical

    Truly magical Midnight in Paris tour.
    My husband and I took the Midnight in Paris tour on Sunday 4th January with Juliette. It truly was the best thing we did during our short stay. Juliette was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about this wonderful film; Woody Allen’s love letter to Paris. Juliette showed us amazing locations and fascinating places all accompanied by her warmth and friendliness.
    We would have no hesitation in recommending Cine-Balade.

  • A great outing idea

    Juliette smiles—and so do we! Anecdotes, film clips and soundtracks: we really enjoyed rediscovering the Latin Quarter through Woody Allen with the ‘Midnight in Paris’ tour alongside Juliette, who clearly loves what she does. A really great time that we’ll certainly repeat in another neighborhood next time. Don’t hesitate—it’s a great outing to share.

  • A lovely experience

    Juliette impressed us with her speaking skills: very pleasant to listen to, she is a friendly guide who speaks well and knows her subject perfectly. The “Midnight in Paris” walk? A wonderful romantic experience retracing the characters’ steps, sometimes giving the feeling of truly going back in time! For Parisians, it’s an original way to rediscover their city and the thousand fascinating details we overlook every day… a breath of fresh air!

  • An enchantment

    I had already enjoyed the Lumière tour, and it was a delight to discover the ‘Midnight in Paris’ route! You rediscover the magic of the film and Woody Allen’s humor in a charming old Parisian neighborhood. The guide remains just as knowledgeable and friendly, answering all our questions. With good weather, I highly recommend taking a Ciné-Balade!
