The Café des 2 Moulins (translated as "Café of the Two Windmills") is situated in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris, specifically at 15, rue Lepic. It lies close to the iconic windmills, including the Moulin Rouge and Moulin de la Galette. Inside, patrons will find a bar accompanied by several intimate tables.
This establishment rose to global prominence after being featured in the 2001 movie Amélie, where it was depicted as the workplace of the film’s protagonist. The cinematic appearance significantly increased its appeal among visitors. Nearby, another filming site is the convenience store located on rue des Trois-Frères. Notably, the tobacco counter shown in the movie was removed in 2002 when ownership changed hands.
The café has been officially registered in the Registre du commerce et des sociétés since 1964. Although it began operations in the early 1900s, it took on its present name during the 1950s. Prior to its role in Amélie, it had been featured in two additional films. The current proprietor is Marc Fougedoire.
