If you have watched a few episodes of Emily in Paris, or if you have literally devoured the 3 seasons of this series in a few days, you have probably fallen for the magical setting in which the young American evolves. Take advantage of your stay in Paris to walk in the footsteps of the actress, discovering all the emblematic places of Emily in Paris .
Place de l’Estrapade
Let’s start our escapade in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, and more precisely at number 1 of the place de l’Estrapade . This is where young Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) and her charming neighbor Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) live. At the foot of the building, we find the fountain and the benches on which the actors often meet to discuss. You can also discover the Boulangerie Moderne , a mythical place where Emily buys her first pain au chocolat, and the Café de la Nouvelle Mairie.
On Place de l’Estrapade, there is also Gabriel’s restaurant. If in the series, it bears the name of ” Deux Compères “, in real life, it is the “Terra Nova” which invites you to feast.
Valois Square
Let’s continue to follow Emily Cooper in her daily life, heading to number 6 Place de Valois , in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. This is the address of the Savoir marketing agency for which the ambitious young American works.
In the heart of Paris, this square is very close to the Louvre Museum, but also to Place Colette. This famous square is home to the Bistrot Valois , where Savoir’s collaborators meet on several occasions in different episodes, but it is also here that the Grand Hôtel du Palais Royal is located.
The garden of the Royal Palace
From the first episode, Emily goes close to her workplace, in the garden of the Palais Royal , still in the 1st arrondissement. It is here that she will regularly take her lunch break, near the fountain, but it is also the place of her meeting with her new friend, Mindy Chen (Ashley Park). Many moments of complicity between the two friends will be filmed here, and in particular the legendary photo shoot, near the Deux Plateaux (or Colonnes de Buren).
Wanting to take full advantage of her Parisian experience, Emily will try several times, in vain, to have a reservation for the starred restaurant Le Grand Véfour , in this same park. Maybe you’ll have better luck than her?
The man’s cafe
Rich in chic and trendy events, the Emily in Paris series introduces us to the French way of life. The launch of the perfume “De l’heure”, imagined by Maison Lavaux, is one of those moments that put stars in Emily’s eyes. It must be said that the party took place in a breathtaking space, at the Trocadero. Inside the Palais de Chaillot, it is at the Café de l’Homme that you can discover the dazzling setting that amazed the protagonist.
And if you have time, the 16th arrondissement and its surroundings are also home to many tourist sites: Guimet museum, Palais Galliera, Musée de l’Homme…
The Alexander III Bridge
If you are a true fan of the Netflix series which has won over millions of viewers, you have surely noticed that the director is very fond of the bridges of Paris. The Alexandre III bridge , in the 7th arrondissement, is also at the heart of several scenes. The advertisement for the perfume “De l’heure” is thus shot on this historic monument dating from 1900. But this is not the only moment when it appears on the screen, since it is also in the background when the actors meet at the Bistrot Alexandre III , on the banks of the Seine.
Here, Emily’s boss, Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) and her client Antoine (William Abadie), come to chat after the interruption of the shooting of the advertisement for the Maison Lavaux perfume.
The Evreux hotel
Among the many events in which the young Emily participates, there is the reception of influencers, organized by the cosmetics brand Duration. This event takes place in the 1st arrondissement, on the famous Place Vendôme , and more precisely in the Hôtel d’Evreux .
Recognized for its luxury boutiques and jewelry stores, Place Vendôme appears many times in the series, but also in many films shot in Paris.
The Workshop of Lights
Spectators from all over the world have the chance to discover part of the immersive exhibition around the works of Van Gogh. For that, just watch the episode where Emily, Gabriel and Camille (Gabriel’s girlfriend) meet at the Atelier des Lumières . We then see the actors strolling through the digital exhibition, and soaking up the many paintings of the artist, in particular La Nuit Étoilée .
Do you want to discover this digital art center? Meet at 38, rue Saint-Maur, in the 11th arrondissement.
The watering hole street
See you now in the 18th, in what Mindy Chen considers “the most beautiful street in Paris”: the rue de l’abreuvoir . Nestled in the Montmartre district, this cobbled alley will host Emily Cooper’s marketing campaign for Hästen beds, but we will also find it in the fifth episode of the first season, since it is at the Maison Rose, restaurant of Rue de l’Abreuvoir, where Emily and Mindy dine together.
Flore’s cafe
Café de Flore is probably one of the must-see sites that the Emily in Paris series could not ignore. We therefore find the actress Lily Collins several times over the different seasons, sometimes accompanied by Mindy (Ashley Park), Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), or even Luc (Bruno Gouery) and Sylvie (Philippine Leroy–Beaulieu ). Seated on the terrace, the actors perfectly represent the Parisian way of life in this trendy café in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district .
This café on boulevard Saint-Germain, in the 16th arrondissement, has seen great personalities, such as Boris Vian, Ernest Hemingway, Yves Saint-Laurent, and Albert Camus.
The Fairground Arts Museum
Among all the sumptuous evenings organized by the Savoir agency, one of them takes place at the Musée des Arts Forains , in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. And if in the Emily in Paris series, this episode 7 is rather tense, the atmosphere of the place remains magical and fairground arts are honored through sublime installations.
The other emblematic places of Emily in Paris
Listing all the Parisian high places visible in the Emily in Paris series would take far too long, and over the episodes, you will recognize many emblematic sites of the capital :
- The Palais Garnier , in episode 6;
- The Hotel Plaza Athénée , where Brooklyn Clark (Carlson Young) resides, in episode 7;
- The Pont des Arts , in episode 3;
- La Monnaie de Paris , where Pierre Cadault’s Fashion Week show takes place;
