Darren Star’s hit Netflix series “Emily in Paris,” which stars Lily Collins as Emily Cooper<\/a>, is set in the French capital, but does it film on location in Paris? Yes, it does \u2014 though it took a little trip over to Italy\u00a0during its fifth season. We can mostly set aside the whole “Emily in Rome” ordeal (in which Emily briefly relocates to one of Italy’s most famous and ancient cities to start an offshoot of a French marketing firm) because, based on the ending of Season 5, that whole excursion is over. The season ends with Emily firmly back in Paris and awaiting her next adventure. So, what about the Parisian locations in the show? How real are they?<\/p>\n

Very real, actually. In the first season alone, Emily visits tourist hotspots like Caf\u00e9 de Flore (famously frequented by luminaries such as Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway during its long history), and she also\u00a0almost attends a show at the Palais Garnier, the city’s stunning opera house. Though the show occasionally sends Emily to other French locales, like Saint-Tropez, the palace of Versailles, the ski resort Meg\u00e9ve, and the lavender fields of Provence, Paris is her home base \u2014 specifically, Emily’s inexplicably large attic apartment is located at\u00a01 Place de l’Estrapade in the fifth\u00a0arrondissement\u00a0of Paris, or the 5\u00e9me. But\u00a0where else did the show film?<\/p>\n

The only authentic thing about Emily in Paris is that it’s filmed on location in Paris<\/p>\n

For anyone who’s ever perused pictures of Paris or has traveled to the French capital themselves, some of the sights shown in “Emily in Paris” will definitely feel familiar. The Pont Alexandre III, one of the city’s most iconic bridges adorned with many fabulous golden sculptures, has a cameo early in Season 1 when Emily’s French marketing firm films an ad there. Elsewhere, in the gardens of the Palais-Royal, in the 1\u00e9me (near the Louvre and other major attractions right on the Seine), Emily meets her new bestie\u00a0Mindy (played by Ashley Park)<\/a> while they share a bench. Once the two bond, the girls have lunch at La Maison Rose, a highly photogenic caf\u00e9 in the hilltop neighborhood of Montmartre (which was once an independent commune before Paris annexed it in 1860). Some of the other famous bridges in Paris, like the Pont des Arts \u2014 once known as the “love lock bridge” \u2014 can frequently be spotted in episodes, as well.<\/p>\n

Some spots featured in “Emily in Paris”\u00a0are a little more off the beaten path. In one memorable scene from Season 1, Emily goes to the Atelier des Lumi\u00e8res in the city’s 11th\u00a0arrondissement with her handsome neighbor\u00a0Gabriel (Lucas Bravo, who isn’t just a chef on TV)<\/a>, and his girlfriend at the time, Camille (Camille Razat). This is a very real\u00a0digital art center where you can experience large-scale light installations that depict art by everyone from Vincent van Gogh to Salvador Dal\u00ed. We also get to see Camille explore the famed March\u00e9 aux Puces de Saint-Ouen (a massive outdoor flea market) in Season 4, establishing Camille’s bonafides as a born and bred Parisienne. Still, this doesn’t make the show fully authentic.<\/p>\n

Emily in Paris takes a lot of liberties when it comes to Parisian geography<\/p>\n

TV shows and movies take liberties with geography\u00a0all the time, but sometimes, the way “Emily in Paris” does it feels egregious. Take, for example, a scene in Season 4 where Emily, a seasoned runner, takes a selfie atop the steps of Montmartre’s famous church the Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur during a jog before work. One problem: the distance from her apartment to the Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur,\u00a0one way, is more than 5 kilometers, and the walk takes\u00a0well over an hour. Nobody would ever do this for a casual morning run, but that doesn’t stop Emily, apparently.<\/p>\n

Nothing stops Emily, if we’re all being honest. This cultural assassin rampages through Paris refusing to learn an iota of French and insisting that her workaholic American ideals are better than the\u00a0laissez-faire attitude held by many real French people. Worst of all, when it comes to the “locations” depicted in the show, the way Emily gets around is strangely unclear when you consider Paris’s robust M\u00e9tro system, which Emily never takes. Anyone who’s ever spent time in Paris knows that the\u00a0M\u00e9tro is a must; it’s used by 4 million visitors and Parisians a day on average.<\/p>\n

That being said, you can absolutely visit the locations that Emily does \u2014 just don’t expect it to be as simple as the show makes out. It’s best to plan ahead and tick off the sites based on how close they are to one another rather than the order in which Emily does them. The Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur isn’t far from La Maison Rose, for example, and\u00a0Le Champo cinema\u00a0(where Luc takes Emily to see a French movie about a m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois) is just a five minute walk from\u00a0the Jardin du Luxembourg (where Emily goes for a job in the second episode).<\/p>\n
