Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris film set

At the museum

Do you remember the scene in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” when Marion Cotillard’s character Adriana shows a bycicle carousel to Gil during a wild party thrown by the Fitzgeralds ?

Well, it was shot in the Musée des Arts Forains. Some of the actors actually got to ride our bycicle carousel.

So, if you feel like traveling back to the 1900’ and smell the atmosphere of the film, you are in the right place in the Musée des Arts Forains.

Some outside views were also shot in our private street.
