Cafe "Two Mills"

“Two Mills” ( French 2 moulins ) - cafe - brasserie in Paris , which became famous in 2001 thanks to the film “ Jean-Pierre Jeunet “ Amelie ” , which takes place, in particular, in the walls of this establishment, where the main character works as a waitress. The name indicates two nearby mills - the Moulin Rouge and the Moulin de la Galette ^[1] .

The cafe is located in Montmartre , at 15 Lepic Street in the 18th arrondissement of Paris (the closest metro station is Blanche ). After the success of the film, the cafe became one of the attractions of the city ^[2] . A movie poster was installed in the cafe hall. The tobacco counter, behind which Georgette, the heroine Isabelle Nanti , worked in the film, was dismantled in 2002, when the establishment changed its owner ^{[3] [4]} .

The cafe was opened at the beginning of the 20th century, but the current name received no earlier than the 1950s. The interior also has not changed since the 50s ^[5] . The institution has already been used for filming two other films before becoming a film set for a number of scenes in Amelie ^[6] . In reality, the room is much smaller than it looks on the movie screen ^[7] .
