L2TC is the only source that links this scene to the square; Film France and MovieSceneMap merely mention the location among those in the film. On the L2TC forum, a contributor also suggests it but is cautious: the Panthéon does not appear when the car leaves, and he assumes a montage between two places, one for the arrival, the other for the departure. Another contributor mentions the steps of the Saint-Étienne-du-Mont church, about forty meters from here, which has its own entry.
