    ‘Murder Mystery 2’ Takes Paris by Storm

    The new sequel brings Nick and Audrey Spitz to the City of Love.

🤐 SPOILER ALERT 🤐

“Are you literally hitting everything?” Nick Spitz (Adam Sandler) yells at his wife Audrey (Jennifer Aniston) as they careen in a commandeered van through the streets of Paris. Over the course of Murder Mystery 2, the comic duo find themselves once again wreaking havoc throughout Europe — and ringing up some pricey damages. “I think [it’s] got to be a hundred million dollars,” director Jeremy Garelick tells Tudum, before revising his estimate a moment later. “Well, no. We destroy a lot of landmarks. It’s got to be over a billion dollars.”  

One thing’s for sure: when the mystery is solved, that’s going to be some lawsuit. Fortunately, for the Spitzes’ fledgling detective agency, this case is the kind of publicity money can’t buy. Besides, they got a pretty nice vacation out of it. Follow along with us on our tour of the many locations of Murder Mystery 2. Some of them are still in one piece!

The Arc, alongside other Paris landmarks like the Moulin Rouge, the Louvre, Sacré Coeur and the July Column, heralds Nick and Audrey’s arrival in the City of Love. The Arc is where the Spitzes meet the kidnappers who hold their friend, the Maharajah, captive. When they’re pulled into the kidnappers’ van, the chase is on.

Café Le Beau

In the course of an out-of-control van ride through the boulevards of Paris and along the banks of the Seine, Nick and Audrey dispatch the kidnappers only to smash through the wall of “the oldest café in Paris.” Don’t be too sad: in reality, Café Le Beau is a set built at the corner of Rue Alphand, Rue des Cinq Diamants and Rue de la Butte aux Cailles in Paris’ 13th Arrondissement. If you look closely, you can also see the Café Le Beau exterior earlier in the evening, as Miller (Mark Strong) drives the Spitzes to their rendezvous with the kidnappers.

Fresh off of destroying the oldest café in Paris, Nick and Audrey head out for a night, or at least a scene or two, at the opera. This isn’t for their own entertainment, but to catch up with an old friend — Inspector de la Croix (Dany Boon). The long-suffering Interpol officer is soon all tied up (literally) and aiding the Spitzes in their race through France.

On the trail of Countess Sekou (Jodie Turner-Smith), Nick and Audrey find their way to her lavish mansion, the gorgeous Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, located in the commune of Maincy, southeast of Paris. Of course, in true Spitz fashion, the lovely locale soon goes up in flames (again, literally).

The Eiffel Tower

All roads lead back to the most iconic Parisian landmark, the Eiffel Tower, where Nick and Audrey find themselves once again unraveling a case in a room full of potentially hostile suspects. This time, they hit up Le Jules Verne restaurant on the tower’s second floor — a huge thrill for Garelick, who says, “My favorite part about filming in Paris was shutting down the Eiffel Tower and being able to shoot on the Eiffel Tower.” And we do mean on it: Soon enough, they’re not just inside the tower; Audrey is rappelling down the side of it. All in a day’s work.

Before they head off on their next adventure, Nick and Audrey stop by one of Paris’ famously love-locked bridges, where tourist lovers have locked away their hearts in padlocks on the railings. Nick and Audrey add their own on the bridge connecting the Tuileries to the Musée d’Orsay, in defiance of the city’s “No Love Locks” campaign. (The extra metal added 45 tons of weight to the most iconic love-locked bridge, the nearby Pont des Arts, where the locks were removed after part of a railing collapsed.) Hey, as Garelick tells us, the Spitzes have already cost France between a hundred million and a billion dollars — what’s one more padlock?
