Where Was Home Alone Filmed?

Home Alone jumps back and forth from Kevin McCallister fighting for his life at his home near Chicago to his whole family stranded in Paris, but neither of these cities really provided any filming locations for the holiday classic. In the movie, the very large extended McCallister family is getting ready to spend Christmas together in Paris. After sleeping in on the morning of their flight, they depart in a panic, leaving poor Kevin behind. It’s not until they’ve all boarded the plane that Kevin’s mother realizes they forgot him at home, while Kevin believes his wish for his family to disappear has come true.
