Does anyone know if there's a list of the places where French in Action was filmed? I've
watched several of the episodes with my kids, and we're going to Paris for a day this
summer. I think they'd enjoy seeing some of the places where it was filmed. The
Sorbonne is obvious, but that would be boring. But where is the fountain with the big
lips? And the park? And any other interesting locations you could think of?
IMDB has a locations page, but the only location it mentions is France.

It has been a long time since I thought much about FIA but for years it was a huge and beloved part of my life.
These are a few memorable locations in the story that I can think of right off the top of my head:
The Medici Fountain in the Jardin du Luxembourg
Hotel Home Latin (Robert's hotel) on Rue du Sommerard in the 5th Arrondissement
The lion of Belfort statue in the Place Denfert-Rochereau
Fouquet's on the Champs-Elysees
La Closerie des Lilas
The Catacombs
La Samaritaine (now sadly closed)
I hope these might be helpful. If I think of any more, I will be back to post them.
