Observatory in Woody Allen film

I just watched Woody Allen's latest film,"Magic in the Moonlight", and there's a scene where Colin Firth and Emma Stone take shelter from a thunderstorm in an old observatory. They just walk in and push a button to open the dome. It's the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur in Nice with a dome designed by Gustave Eiffel. Beautiful 30" refractor dating from 1886. The movie hasn't had great reviews but it's worth seeing just for this.
