Love it or love to hate it, Emily in Paris has made millions of viewers fall for the French capital. The show's real star is the city itself, from a picture-perfect square in the Latin Quarter to a glamorous rooftop pool. If you have ever wondered where Emily in Paris was filmed, here are the top 10 Emily in Paris filming locations you can visit, and how to add them to your own Paris itinerary.
1. Place de Valois: The Savoir Office
Where: Place de Valois, 1st arrondissement, near the Louvre.
This quiet square doubles as the exterior of Savoir, the marketing agency where Emily works, and it appears from the very first episode. The real shop below is an art gallery, but the doorway is instantly recognizable to fans.
2. Place de l'Estrapade: Emily's Apartment
Where: Place de l'Estrapade, 5th arrondissement, in the Latin Quarter.
This pretty square, with its fountain, trees, and benches, is home to Emily's apartment building. The corner restaurant, Terra Nera, a real Italian restaurant, plays Gabriel's restaurant in the series. It is one of the most popular spots for fan photos, so come early for a quieter visit, and remember that people really live here.
3. Jardin du Palais-Royal: Where Emily Meets Mindy
Where: Jardin du Palais-Royal, 1st arrondissement.
Emily meets her best friend, Mindy, in this elegant garden in the first season. Its tree-lined paths and fountain make it a peaceful escape from the city. Don't miss the striped columns of the Colonnes de Buren in the courtyard next door.
4. Palais Garnier: A Night at the Opera
Where: Place de l'Opéra, 9th arrondissement.
Paris's lavish 19th-century opera house is the setting for Emily's disastrous date at the ballet in season one. You can see a ballet or opera here yourself, or take a self-guided tour of the grand staircase and gilded foyer. See the program on the Paris Opera website.
5. L'Atelier des Lumières: An Immersive Art Show
Where: 38 Rue Saint-Maur, 11th arrondissement.
In season one, Emily, Gabriel, and Camille wander through an immersive Van Gogh exhibition at L'Atelier des Lumières. This former 19th-century foundry is now a digital art center, with famous paintings projected across its walls and floors. The shows change regularly.
6. Café de Flore: A Literary Café
Where: 172 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 6th arrondissement.
Emily meets a date at Café de Flore, one of the oldest and most famous cafés in Paris. It was a favorite of writers and philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Albert Camus. A coffee on the terrace is pricey, but it is a classic Paris experience.
7. Bouillon Chartier: An After-Hours Dinner
Where: 7 Rue du Faubourg-Montmartre, 9th arrondissement.
In season four, Gabriel and Emily slip into Bouillon Chartier after closing to share drinks with his chef friends. Open since 1896, this grand Belle Époque dining hall serves classic French dishes at low prices. It is hugely popular, so expect a queue at peak times.
8. Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen: Flea Market Shopping
Where: Saint-Ouen, just north of the 18th arrondissement.
Camille and Sofia go furniture shopping at the Paris flea market in season four. With well over a thousand dealers selling antiques, vintage clothes, and curiosities, it is one of the largest antiques markets in the world. Most stalls open from Saturday to Monday.
9. Hôtel Molitor: A Rooftop Pool Party
Where: 13 Rue Nungesser et Coli, 16th arrondissement.
In season three, Emily and Mindy crash a party at the Hôtel Molitor. Its Art Deco swimming pool opened in 1929 and was a legendary hangout before it was restored as a luxury hotel. The pools are mainly for hotel guests and members, but you can visit the restaurant and rooftop bar.
10. La Nouvelle Ève: Mindy's Big Stage
Where: 25 Rue Pierre Fontaine, 9th arrondissement, in Pigalle.
This historic cabaret near Montmartre stands in for the club where Mindy performs in season three. La Nouvelle Ève hosts cabaret dinner shows, so you can enjoy your own night of Parisian glamour.
