The scene
What happened at Saint-Étienne-du-Mont steps
In Midnight in Paris, a lost Gil rests on these steps as the clock strikes twelve. An old Peugeot pulls up, and he’s swept off to a party with the Fitzgeralds.
The church, behind the Panthéon, holds the shrine of Saint Geneviève, patron saint of Paris, and the graves of Blaise Pascal and Jean Racine.
