Emily in Paris Film Locations (Seasons 1, 2 + 3)

Love or hate the Emily in Paris series, there is little argument that it offers an escape for many Francophiles and romantics as well! It didn’t take long for Emily in Paris to become one of the most-watched series of 2020, and it took even less time for it to start being compared to the legendary series Sex and the City. In fact, the comparisons started before it even aired, thanks to Darren Star (the creator of SATC) being the show’s creator.

The show follows twenty-something Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins) as she explores Paris after landing the job of a lifetime and moving from Chicago. Alone, in a strange land, and quite the fashionista as was Carrie Bradshaw in SATC, it’s not hard to fall in love (or at least “like”) with the character in the storylines all the same.

No, there’s no Samantha, no Miranda, and no Charlotte to back Emily up – though Mindy is great and Camille plays her part – the show definitely has a very [young] Sex in the City vibe to it. And with season 3, even the “older” characters are dressed to the nines. Through the first season, Emily definitely finds her style and it’s not hard to imagine [a young] Carrie wearing some of the same looks herself.

Of course, Paris played a big part in Carrie’s life – at least her love life. And it’s not a stretch to assume this city will have a bigger impact on Emily. Carrie may have loved Paris, but she WAS New York City through and through.

We saw that while Emily is from Chicago, she’s shed that cocoon and embraced all that Paris brings to the table.

The Main Sites We See Throughout Seasons 1, 2 + 3

Emily's Apartment: 1 Place de l'Estrapade

Situated smack dab in the center of the Latin Quarter, right in the heart of Paris itself, this is the address for Emily’s apartment that sits on the fifth floor. Despite the fact that her apartment looks to be about 2-3x times the size of what an actual apartment on the top floor would look like, we do get a great look at the architecture and design of a typically Parisian building in almost every single episode – but we also get peeks of the Pantheon, the Sorbonne, and Le Jardin du Luxembourg, not necessarily realistic, but nice to see.

Just know that this building that houses Emily’s apartment is an existing actual apartment building, so visits to Paris to see this filming location is unlikely to include a sneak peek behind these doors.

Interior shots of Emily’s place are done on a soundstage, anyway – but that doesn’t mean that you can’t snap photos of the iconic building and imagine spending time on the fifth floor yourself!

Location: 1 Place de l'Estrapade, 5th arrondissement.

Savoir Office/Agence Grateau Office: Place de Valois

Emily decides to leave Chicago in the first place for a chance to work at the world-renowned Savoir organization, a legendary French luxury marketing operation (in the television program, anyway). Another beautiful example of Parisian architecture, the offices that Emily visits every day for work – and inevitably runs afoul with Sylvie over and over again – is a must-visit destination for any fan visiting the city.

The Galerie Patrick Fourtin is a real antique shop that visitors can browse, picking up a memento of their visit to this iconic filming location. Visitors can also walk just two blocks and visit the Louvre, a destination that belongs on every Paris itinerary whether you are visiting as a fan of Emily in Paris or not!

Location: Between Rue de Valois and Rue des Bon Enfants (along Passage Vérité) in the 1st arrondissement.

Where Emily and Mindy Hang Out: Jardin du Palais Royal

Emily starts to build a tight-knit crew (the way that Carrie did in Sex and the City) – she makes a brand-new best friend that she meets on the grounds of this 17th-century palace turned cultural center and café hotspot. This is the location where Emily meets Mindy while they are both on their lunch break, both of them (relatively) new to Paris, and both of them from different corners of the globe.

And it is where we continue to see the two of them meet for chats and advice.

Plenty of cafés are located in this part of Paris (essentially the center of the city), so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a place to grab some coffee and a bit to eat. Including the Grand Vefour where Emily tried to make last-minute dinner reservations (I personally love this spot for lunch).

You’ll also have no trouble finding the Louvre from this filming location, either – it’s located nearby! If your visit to Paris doesn’t have a tremendous amount of time carved out to visit filming locations, do try to combine this one, the Savoir offices, and Emily’s apartment all in one block of time. These three are located so close to one another that you can save time without missing anything important!

Location: 43 Rue de Valois in the 1st arrondissement.

Gabriel's Restaurant: Deux Compères/Chez Lavaux/L'Esprit de Gigi

The restaurant where Emily first has dinner with Mindy and subsequently meets Gabriel at work is called Deux Compères but in reality, is a restaurant called Terra Nera. It then changes to Chez Lavaux once Antoine invests in it and the “gang” is there practically every night (or so it seems!). And then it evolves into L'Esprit de Gigi when Gabrielle becomes a partner and changes the name in hopes of garnering a Michelin star with his Grandmother's traditional Norman recipes.

Location: 18 Rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques in the 5th arrondissement.

• Later that day, Emily has dinner with Mindy at La Maison Rose, the insta-famous pink building in Montmartre!

To be clear none of these spots are near each other and they would actually be zig-zagging all over the city in a really weird way!
• And it is on the last street, Rue de l’Abreuvoir at the Place Dalida where Emily ends up doing her Hästens bed installation.

  • Address: 67 Rue de Lancry in the 10th arrondiseement.

  • Address: Pl. de l'Opéra in the 9th arrondissement.
