Amélie



The Draw: A love letter to Montmartre, Paris' art/bohemian district, as told through the eyes of one of cinema's most bewitching ingénues.The Fact: Yes, the views from the top of Sacré-Coeur really are that spectacular — even without Jean-Pierre Jeunet's ambitious color correction. The Fiction: The new owners of Café des Deux Moulins have done some remodeling. So you can still dig into crème brûlée, but don't plan on buying a packet of smokes on the way out.

A noted tax haven, the cost of living in Monaco is not for the faint of heart. The Fiction: In one of the world's most beautiful principalities, who takes that long to fall in love with Romain Duris?
