The Cine-Tourist
a map of Out 1

Picture
The known Paris locations of Jacques Rivette's 13-hour, 8-episode serial or series (not a film, despite the persistent legend) are plotted on the map above. The more important locations are marked with a star. (For all of the maps in Out 1 see here.)

Below, the locations on the map above are identified, grouped according to general area.


cafés on the Champs Elysées

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
In episodes 1 and 2 Colin (Jean-Pierre Léaud) hands out sealed envelopes in Le Deauville (75 avenue des Champs Elysées), Le Longchamp (no. 39) and a café at no. 33 the name of which at the time  I haven't yet found (it's now a Pizza Pino). Colin retuns to Le Deauville in episode 8.

theatres near the boulevard de Clichy

Picture
The rehearsal space used by the troupe led by Thomas (Michael Lonsdale)  is, as we see in episode 5, just off the rue Caulaincourt. Possibly it is part of the Gaumont Palace, still functioning as a cinema but soon to be demolished.
Picture
Picture
The space used by the troupe led by Lili (Michèle Moretti) is the Théâtre Ouvert, cité Véron, just behind the Moulin Rouge on the boulevard de Clichy. We see membres of the troupe go down into the métro at the Place de Clichy station.

The roof of the theatre is where Frédérique (Juliet Berto) meets Lucie (Françoise Fabian). It is also where Frédérique is killed by Renaud (Alain Libolt).

place de la Bastille

Picture
In the first four episodes Frédérique is repeatedly seen near the place de la Bastille, either in nearby cafés or restaurants (mostly the Dupont-Bastille at 1 boulevard Beaumarchais) or on the street.
In episode 2 there are three inserts of views from the place de la Bastille:
Picture
Picture
Picture
The last time Frédérique is on the place de la Bastille she goes down the boulevard Bourdon, alongside the canal. Here she is accosted by a man who looks very much like Jean Eustache:
Picture

le quartier Latin

Picture
Frédérique lives in at 9 rue Blainville, near the place de la Contrescarpe. We don't see the exterior of her building, but the exact location can be determined by cross-referencing the views from her three windows:
In episode 5 Lili had enquired after Renaud at an antiques shop at 102 rue Mouffetard. In episode 6 Frédérique meets Renaud in a café at 283 rue Saint Jacques:
Picture
Picture

1e + 2e arrondissements

In episode 4 Colin is ejected three times from the offices of Paris Jour, 37 rue du Louvre, top left on the map:
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Colin is seen reading or reciting on three different streets in these two arrondissements, the rue d'Argout, 2e (twice, episode 4), the rue de la Grande Truanderie, 1e (episode 4) and the rue Tiquetonne, 2e (episode 5):
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
In episode 3 Colin had deciphered an address he should go to, 2 place Sainte Opportune, 1e:
Picture
Picture

Montparnasse

Picture
The location for the shop that is supposed to be at 2 place Sainte Opportune is in Montparnasse, at 7 rue du Maine:
Picture
Picture
This is next to the square Gaston-Baty, which is where, in episode 5, Pauline (Bulle Ogier), on leaving the shop, meets Warok (Jean Bouisse):
Picture
Picture
Warok is again in Montparnasse in episode 6 when, at the terrace of La Coupole, he is approached by Frédérique:
Picture
Picture
East of Montparnasse, near the Sèvres-Lecourbe métro station, Colin makes a phone call to his parents (episode 3):
Picture
Picture
Frédérique meets Renaud in the parc Montsouris, south of Montparnasse (episode 7):
Picture
Picture

palais de Chaillot + l'île aux Cygnes

Picture
Béatrice (Edwine Moatti) meets the ethnologist (Michel Delahaye) twice on the roof of the Palais de Chaillot, the first time (episode 2) they are on the south side, overlooking the Eiffel Tower, the second (episode 7) on the north side, overlooking the Passy cemetery:
Picture
Picture
Thomas meets Etienne (Jacques Doniol-Valcroze) on the île aux Cygnes (episode 6) and then (episode 7) the two of them meet Lucie:
Picture
Picture
Though I haven't been able to locate Etienne's home, the area code for his telephone number  - Mirabeau - situates it narratively in the vicinity of this meeting place, in that part of the 16th arrondissement just west of the île aux Cygnes. Etienne lives in a house behind a small square:
Picture
Picture

l'île Saint Louis + l'île de la Cité

Picture
According to a letter stolen from Etienne by Frédérique, Lucie lives on the île Saint Louis, at 13 rue Saint-Louis-en-l'île. At the end of episode 2 Lili drives to the île de la Cité to meet Lucie on the rue de Harlay, behind the Palais de Justice where Lucie works:
Picture
Picture
In episode 7 Lucie meets Elaine (Karen Puig)  by the river's edge, with behind them views of the Pont Neuf and the Théâtre de la Ville on the place de Châtelet:
Picture
Picture

portes de Paris

Picture
Members of Lili's troupe try to find Renaud by showing his photograph to people at various gates into Paris. We see them at eight of these (Champerret, Chapelle, Lilas, Dorée, Gare, Choisy, Italie, Orléans), and according to Quentin his daughter Max has been to the porte de Vanves.

unidentified cafés

Two cafés are still unidentified (though perhaps this is the same place, inside and out):
Picture
Picture

unidentified homes

The homes of Colin, Emilie 9i.e. Pauline), the Balzacian, Quentin, Thomas and Warok are real places but they are seen only from the inside, so identification is unlikely:

Obade

Picture
Out 1's one location outside of Paris is a house at Hermanville-sur-Mer, on the Normandy coast between Cherbourg and Le Havre, just north of Caen.
Picture
Picture
The house has since been demolished.
