All of the scenes that are supposed to take place in Paris, were shot in Old Montreal. The building seen from almost all angles is actually City Hall, and the fountain is located in the small Place Vauquelin just beside it. Ironically, for something that is supposed to be in France, seen in the background is a column erected to Lord Nelson in 1809. Even Mark Twain, when visiting Montreal in 1881, noticed it and declared with his habitual humor: ''I have observed here with emotion, in your city, the monument which makes forever memorable the exact place where Horatio Nelson did not stand when he fell."
