El Dorado

कहते हैं कि सुमेरु पर्वत सोने का बना है। तो आज के आधुनिक समय में सोने की चिड़िया कहा जा सकता है, या वह कथित स्थान जहाँ सोना-ही-सोना है, अर्थात्, वह स्थान जहाँ खूब धन कमाया जा सकता है।

अंग्रेज़ी El Dorado का भी यही अर्थ है :

यह नाम एक चलचित्र का भी है, जो इसी विषय से संबंधित है।

Watershed

This term means that the picture on either side of the dividing line (the watershed) are totally different. Seems to fit the context you have given about the life of the protagonist changing completely after moving into Paris.
