Scene-to-Street maps
Every pin is a scene. Every scene has coordinates.
Exact GPS for every spot, plus the thing most guides forget: whether you can actually get in. Public square, set opening hours, ticket required, private door or long gone.
Then & Now
Drag the frame. Watch the decades fall away.
Our sliders line up the movie frame with a photograph taken from the same angle today, so you can see what the production dressed, hid or invented, and what never changed.

Fan-Sourced Field Notes
Written by fans who were just there
Fences go up, cafés change hands, doors get repainted. Our community keeps every pin honest with fresh photos, access updates and local trivia.
“Police were enforcing the no-sitting rule at 9 a.m. on a Tuesday. Stand on the landing halfway up for the best angle without getting whistled at.”
“Got the bar shot at 10 a.m. with nobody in it. The staff were lovely and pointed out where Amélie stood.”
“The crew was out front washing the truck and happily posed with the sign. Bring a patch if you have one: they collect them.”
