The amount of movies set in Paris is too damn high

Help me find a romantic movie set in Paris, further details are fuzzy.
A friend of mine is looking for a specific movie and our combined google fu has failed us, there's just too many Paris based romances. Browsing through this list didn't help either.
What he remembers: It's (maybe partly) set in Paris, released in the 90s/00s, male lead is a photographer or artist. There might be a scene in it, where the male lead takes pictures of the female lead from a balcony or window which kicks off the relationship. More of an artistic movie / drama than a romantic comedy. He said that some of these details may be wrong though.
Any ideas despite the rather generic clues?

The Science of Sleep is about a creative/artist guy who falls in love with his neighbor. Dreamscapes ensue.

Maaaaaaaybe Russian Dolls? Definitely has some scenes in Paris, male lead is a writer, two love interests, the one in Paris is a model, maybe? The balcony thing is ringing a faint bell but I haven't seen this movie in years. A romantic comedy, but with some touches that keep it from feeling formulaic.

Probably not Amélie, but photographs do play a large role in the plot and it sure is artsy.

Response by poster: None of these unfortunately, Before Sunrise was one of my guesses as well.

Maybe 2 Days in Paris?
Funny culture clash/romance vegicle for (yes, again) Julie Delpy and Adam Goldberg. Photographs do play a role... ;)

IMDB Keyword search might help here:
Paris / Photographer
Paris / Balcony / Photographer
You can add or remove keywords to narrow or widen the list.

Total long shot, but was it the 1995 version of Sabrina? The lead (Harrison Ford) at one point took a picture of Sabrina (Julia Ormond) out on a balcony/terrace. It is partly set in Paris, as well.

Response by poster: Nope, not Sabrina (1995) either, sadly.
We'll keep searching, thanks for the idea with the keywords on imdb.
