1. Superb Montmartre Flat (Paris, France) (from USD 171)
The film Amelie makes exquisite use of Paris as a delightful playground for the iconic main character’s pursuits of kindness and mercy.

The space may appear as a typical Parisian flat but is adorned with real-life conveniences including ultra-fast WiFi, television, and a modern kitchen for gratifying overnight stays. Its location allows guests to explore significant cultural and trendy places, much like how Amelie did in the movie.
