Café Le Dome is not located near the Champ de Mars and the Eiffel Tower. It is on the Boulevard Du Montparnasse. I can recommend this brasserie. Not cheap but not expensive. Famous for seafood and oysters.

This is another Café Le Dome. The one used as exterior for the movie is on Rue Saint-Dominique. But thank you for the recommendation!

The shot of the car stopped with the car next to it taking pictures looks like it was filmed in Hapeville, GA, at the corner of Dogwood and King Arnold. A picturesque mountain was placed in the background.
