  1. Férolles-Attilly, France

    The zoo occupies about twenty hectares of forest park in Férolles-Attilly, in Seine-et-Marne, and features over five hundred animals from a hundred species.

    The scene : The wildlife park hosted filming for the movie, although no source specifies which of the sequences featuring the seal was shot there.

  2. Roissy-en-France, France

    Inaugurated on March 8, 1974, the airport covers 3,257 hectares and six municipalities spread across Val-d'Oise, Seine-Saint-Denis, and Seine-et-Marne. Its Terminal 1, designed by architect Paul Andreu, is a circular building surrounded by seven satellites, nicknamed "the camembert" and labeled 20th-century Heritage.

    The scene : Upon her return to France, Agathe waits in a customs booth at the airport.

  3. Montreuil, France

    The scene : Agathe's home occupies this building on Place de la Fraternité. The house transforms into a refuge: Anna and Ulfur move in, and friendship as well as love intertwine there.

  4. Montreuil, France

    The scene : Agathe, Anna, and Ulfur all enter a narrow passage that opens onto the Place de la Fraternité.

  5. Paris, France

    The market has been held informally since 1860, and officially since a prefectural decree by Eugène Poubelle in 1885 prohibiting the deposit of garbage at the gates of Paris. It has settled on the Zone, this unbuildable strip of 250 meters that surrounded the Thiers fortifications, and now occupies the avenue du Professeur-André-Lemierre, in the 20th arrondissement, beyond the périphérique. It opens on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays.

    The scene : Agathe leads Anna and Ulfur between the stalls of the flea market, where the trio strolls among the antique items.

  6. Montreuil, France

    The scene : Ulfur strolls down this street during his walks in Montreuil, a somewhat strange Icelandic silhouette in the city's backdrop.

  7. Montreuil, France

    The scene : Anna stops at the entrance of this street, uncertain: she hesitates between this one and the nearby Rue de l'Égalité.

  8. Bagnolet, France

    The scene : The other branch of Anna's hesitation, who doesn't know which of the two streets to take.

  9. Paris, France

    Paris Zoological Park, located in the Bois de Vincennes, recognizable by its Grand Artificial Rock, inaugurated in 1934.

    The scene : The now disused zoo serves as a wandering ground: Agathe walks through its empty paths while Ulfur prowls along its edges.

  10. Montreuil, France

    The scene : In the midst of the market stalls, Agathe comes face to face with the woman who stole her wedding dress.

  11. Montreuil, France

    The scene : It is at the foot of this street that Agathe rummages through her trash.

  12. Vattetot-sur-Mer, France

    The beach opens at the foot of the Vaucottes valley, one of those dry valleys that cut into the cliffs of the Côte d'Albâtre and provide access to the sea; the valley, once guarded by a lookout, leads to a relatively sheltered beach.

    The scene : It is here, facing the sea, that the seal is returned to its natural habitat.
