In September 2022, I had the opportunity to visit the Café des 2 Moulins in Paris, also known as the Amélie Cafe. This iconic café is located in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris and is famous for its appearance in the 2001 film Amélie.
I was excited to visit the café and see for myself where Amélie worked and spent her time. When I arrived, I was immediately struck by the café's charm. The interior is small and cozy, with a long bar and a few tables. The walls are decorated with posters and artwork, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
I ordered a cup of hot chocolate and sat at a table to people-watch. The café was busy, but it was a pleasant kind of busy. There were locals and tourists alike, all enjoying a cup of coffee or a pastry.
After I finished my coffee, I took a walk back to Gard du Nord, through Montmartre, which is a beautiful area of Paris, with narrow streets, quaint shops, and stunning views of the city. It was about a 20 minute walk, taking in the sights and sounds.
I had a wonderful time at the Café des 2 Moulins. It was a truly magical experience to step into the world of Amélie and to experience Paris through her eyes.
If you are ever in Paris, I highly recommend visiting the Café des 2 Moulins. It is a must-see for any fan of Amélie or anyone who loves Paris.
