Paris à la Emily in Paris | railtour travel blog
The French capital has been the backdrop for countless films over the decades, but few series have shaped the Paris hype of recent years as strongly as Emily in Paris. Colourful fashion, charming old town streets, elegant boulevards and plenty of French savoir‑vivre – the series has become a true inspiration for future trips.
For fans who want to experience Emily’s story up close, Paris is the perfect destination for a set‑jetting journey – conveniently and sustainably reachable by train.
Immerse yourself in the world of Emily Cooper and discover the most iconic filming locations, just as enchanting in real life as they are on screen.
Place de l’Estrapade
One of the most iconic filming locations is the small, charming Place de l’Estrapade in the Latin Quarter. This is where Emily lives, where the café for her morning coffee is located, and where the famous bakery from the series can be found just a few steps away. Between pretty facades, French flair and a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to step right into Emily’s everyday life - a must‑see for any fan.
Montmartre – Artistic flair and series romance
Montmartre is one of the most frequently featured areas in the series - and for good reason. The charming streets, artist studios and the impressive Sacré‑Cœur Basilica bring a romantic touch to every scene. Whether enjoying a picnic on the steps, strolling to Place du Tertre or stopping by one of the small bars: here you truly feel like you’re in the middle of Emily’s Paris adventure.
Galerie Patrick Fourtin – the office of the marketing agency
Emily’s workplace, the marketing agency, also has a real-life counterpart. In the series, the office is located in an elegant building near Place de Valois. In reality, it is Galerie Patrick Fourtin, an art gallery with refined Parisian ambience.
A walk through this neighbourhood instantly evokes the atmosphere of the series: stylish, urban and unmistakably parisien.
Pont Alexandre III – a bridge like a dream
Pont Alexandre III is not only one of the most beautiful bridges in Paris, but also a highlight in several seasons of the series. It is especially known for the scene in which Emily takes part in a major advertising campaign filmed here.
With its gilded sculptures, elegant arches and views of the Eiffel Tower, it is one of the most glamorous filming locations in the city.
Romantic stay just like in the series
To round off your Emily in Paris set‑jetting trip in style, the charming Hôtel Les Dames du Panthéon is the perfect choice. This boutique hotel is located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, just steps away from Emily’s fictional everyday surroundings near Place de l’Estrapade. After a day full of filming‑location discoveries, this is the perfect place to return to, feeling just as enchantingly Parisian as Emily's world.
