The bulk of the movie is set in Paris, France, but the majority of it is filmed in Budapest, Hungary. With the exception of stock footage of the inter-scenes, the only time notable Paris landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and Sacre Coeur, are seen are in scenes with Brooke D'Orsay, Gilles Marini, and/or Paloma Coquant, thus they're the only three of the cast that probably ever stepped foot in Paris for filming.
