Is it still necessary to present the Café des Deux Moulins, world-famous since a certain Amélie worked there as a waitress?
The memory of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s heroine is, here, omnipresent: a poster of the film still stands inside the café-brasserie, whose name refers to the Moulin-Rouge and the Galette, a photo of the character played by Audrey Tautou is displayed behind the counter, and a display case related to the film – where you can see the pig lamp from the feature film – decorates the corridor leading to the toilets. The menu, too, remembers the filming, so you can enjoy an Amélie bowl and Amélie’s famous crème brûlée. No colt steak, however: so much the better.
