Emily in Paris Filming Locations: Must-Visit Landmarks in the French Capital

Emily in Paris is returning after a two-year break, greeting fans with its fourth season of chic clichés on Netflix. As anticipation builds, Parisian wanderlust among viewers has reached its peak.

The series stars Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, a marketing executive who leaves Chicago for an influencer’s life in Paris, the city of love and lights.

Emily’s escapades feature love interests and glamorous events against iconic landmarks, such as the Arc de Triomphe, Nôtre Dame, and the Jardin du Luxembourg, often with the Eiffel Tower gracefully looming in the background.

Paris’s amorous arrondissements, sultry suburbs, and scenic areas in glamorous French regions like Provence and Saint-Tropez serve as picturesque backdrops for the show.

Adding to the excitement, the fourth season will also see Emily visit Rome, with the Eternal City weaved heavily into its episodes.

Dharma, an experiential travel start-up, partnered with the series’ producers to create an official Emily in Paris itinerary. This unique experience allows fans to immerse themselves in baking pain au chocolats and exploring designer ateliers.

As season four starts streaming on 15 August, here are some exquisite spots where fans can indulge in food, wine, and romance, celebrating Parisian culture just like Emily.

Season One

Emily’s journey begins in a 5th arrondissement apartment in the Latin Quarter’s Place de l’Estrapade square, an ideal spot for a pastry and coffee break.

The marketing executive’s ‘Savoir’ office is nestled in Place de Valois in the 1st arrondissement, near the Palais Royal and Louvre Museum.

Season one also showcases landmarks like the Panthéon, Rue de l’Abreuvoir in Montmarte, and the Jardin du Luxembourg, along with the Seine River, Pont Alexandre III Bridge, and Sacre-Coure basilica.

Season two departs from Paris for the French Riviera, but Parisian moments like shopping at La Samaritaine and visiting Pere Lachaise Cemetery add to the city’s allure.

Landmarks such as the Palace of Versailles, La Fontaine Saint Michel, Eglise Saint Eustache, and Pont des Arts bridge enrich Emily’s love-filled Parisian experiences.
