The scene

What happened at Square Louise-Michel

Amélie sends Nino up the hill on a trail of blue arrows to give back his lost photo album. The carousel at the foot of the gardens is part of the chase.

The gardens climb the butte in terraces below the white domes of Sacré-Cœur, finished in 1914 and consecrated in 1919.

The carousel still turns at the bottom of the steps, and the gardens are one of the most photographed spots in Paris.

Line up the shot

Stand beside the carousel and shoot straight up the gardens so the basilica sits above it.
