Seven captions.

The series keeps telling you which city you are in. Often it is lying. The very first scene’s Vienna is a town square near Siena. Pick a caption and spray it until the cover story is gone.

Hornsey Town Hall

1st arrondissement · the pink dress

Paris, honestly.

Villanelle meets Konstantin here in a pink tulle dress, after her psychiatric assessment. One guide puts it in series one, episode two; another in series two.

A public square in the 1st arrondissement, north of the Tuileries. Jules Hardouin-Mansart’s regular fronts and cut corners make the rectangle read as an octagon.

Napoleon raised the column for Austerlitz. The Paris Commune pulled it down on 16 May 1871; it was put back up later.

A public square, open at all hours. The column stands in the middle.

Where we read it

Villanelle walks home along Rue Guénégaud and Rue Mazarine in the 6th arrondissement. The flat she walks into is a set in a London studio, so no door there is hers.
