The day after the national holiday of July 14, we offer you a quiz on THE showcase monument of France: the Eiffel Tower. Indeed, she was entitled to her hours of glory at the cinema but will you be able to find these 9 films where we see her?
The city of Paris is often honored in the cinema, and with it some of its most emblematic monuments, whether it is the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Sacré-Coeur or of course the most emblematic and known to all, the Eiffel Tower.
We remember, for example, the small tourist visit of Ethan Hunt on a motorcycle through Paris, in Mission Impossible: Fallout. A chase that had taken him – in a rather improbable route – from the Paris Opera to La Cité de la Mode, passing through the roundabout of the Place de l’Etoile, which Tom Cruise took against meaning, for more pleasure.
The Louvre has also been often visited in the cinema, and not only in Da Vinci Code, the example that might come to mind at first glance. Indeed, many renowned directors have decided to set up their camera for a scene in one of the most prestigious museums in the world, whether it is Martin Scorsese in The Time of Innocence, Woody Allen in Midnight in Paris, or François Ozon in Frantz.
Tom Cruise – again him – had also had the opportunity to visit this museum, flooded in this case, alongside Emily Blunt in Edge of Tomorrow.
Another monument, certainly less known and less famous, had even served as the main setting for a film released in 2001. We are of course talking about the film by Charles Nemes with Éric and Ramzy, La Tour Montparnasse indernale. Comedic and parodic film which took up the title of one of the classic disaster films of the 70s, The Infernal Tower by John Guillermin and Irwin Allen.
As for the Eiffel Tower, the examples are of course numerous, but we have kept them for this quiz which is entirely dedicated to it. Nine film shots to recognize, in which you can see the famous Parisian monument. Will you make it to the top?
