Locations of places throughout the movie...

I've been to Paris a few times and I'm going back in a couple months, but I'm the furthest thing from an expert of the areas.

Can someone who is a local or a Paris expert please point out the possible addresses/general areas to some of the filming locations? IMDB has the location of the Le Grand Hotel (and is that Pizza Hut still there?), but I'm wondering about other places, such as:

GymTonic
Michelle's apartment
Dede's apartment
Blue Parrot
A Touch Of Class

Any other locations I might have forgotten would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I can't help you on any of that list but I can tell you that the Pizza Hut is gone! The Grand Hotel itself has undergone a bit of a facelift since the movie was shot and looks a hundred times better these days.

The final rendez-vous for the exchange takes place on Pont de Grenelle (Grenelle bridge over the Seine). In the first shot, we can see the circular Radio France building in the background, north-west of the bridge.

The Statue of Liberty replica is not far away, in the middle of the Seine.

The airport scene is Terminal 1 of the Charles de Gaulle airport in Roissy.

Beaubourg is the name the French mostly use for the Pompidou centre with modern art. The first rendez-vous takes place in an underground parking there.

When they steal the car from the Beaubourg and take off, they pass the Pavillion Cafe, which is at 65 boulevard de sébastopol. That's close to the Beaubourg.
