Doug Liman didn't want to shoot Paris the way most American films shoot Paris only showing the most beautiful parts and making sure to include all the familiar landmarks the city has to offer. The scene with Bourne and Marie on the banks of the Seine is the only moment Liman "shows us we're in Paris" as he states. You can see the Notre Dame Cathedral in the background of this shot. The rest of the movie he wanted to shoot the city from the viewpoint of a local, not a tourist. This was done to add to the authenticity of the film. "When you speak French, if there's something not understood, you're the one not understanding it, and you know it, whereas, if you speak English, out of a sign of respect they'll mostly say, 'Yes' like they understood, and maybe they didn't." - Liman explaining his reasons for speaking French while filming with the European crew. Liman also mentions Damon's way of perfecting his accents as Bourne jumps between different languages throughout the film. Damon would listen to recordings in his trailer until he had the accent down perfect before shooting a scene. Just like that great Bawston accent he pulled off in Will Hunting - Genio ribelle (1997).
