The vintage photobooth of Montmartre

Welcome to FotoAutomat Studio!
Ensconced in our solid oak and glass shop window, this real analog photobooth from the 60s is both inside and out, polished mirror and entrance.

The place was designed for it, and it is now an obligatory passage, a must-see of the Montmartre’s neighbourhood.

People squeeze in, shoulder to shoulder, on Saturday afternoons. It’s said that this is the vintage photobooth from the movie “The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain”, and that tiktokkers lacking popularity meet here at the full moon to sell their souls to Satan. Maybe he could even play the accordion!
