Emily's Paris, at a glance

Start where Emily lives: Place de l'Estrapade, a small square behind the Panthéon in the Latin Quarter, with the bakery she loves on the corner. Café de Flore in Saint-Germain, where she meets Thomas, a literature professor, is about 20 minutes away on foot. Around the corner, Emily ends things with her boyfriend on the phone in front of the Panthéon in episode 2, and the Luxembourg Gardens, where she goes running, are about 10 minutes away on foot. Just off the square, Café de la Nouvelle Mairie is where Emily and Mindy meet for brunch and gossip; it is closed at weekends.

In Paris, the rest is spread across the city: the Palais Royal arcades where she walks in slow motion, Pont Alexandre III where she interrupts the shooting of a perfume ad, the footbridge on Canal Saint-Martin where she has her heart-to-hearts. Give it two days, or one area per morning.

Later seasons also take Emily to Italy. In Rome her flat looks onto Piazza Mattei, close to the Theatre of Marcellus, and the series returns to the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps and Piazza Mincio. The Square Colosseum is in the EUR district, a metro ride south, and Ostia Antica is a half-day trip by train. In Venice the scenes are around the Hotel Danieli and on the Rio Marin. In the Plan section, choose Rome or Venice to plan that part on its own.

Two restaurants are among the most searched places of the series. La Maison Rose, the small pink restaurant where Mindy takes Emily for dinner after a bad day, is on a corner of Montmartre at 2 rue de l'Abreuvoir. Terra Nera, the real Italian restaurant that plays Gabriel's, is on Emily's own square.

Emily's square is 100 metres from the room where the young Hemingway went to write: A Moveable Feast walks the same streets a century earlier.

  • Place de l'Estrapade

    The square where Emily's apartment building stands: a leafy little place with a fountain that becomes her morning view in every season.

    • best morning
    • Métro Place Monge (L7)
    Stay nearby
  • La Boulangerie Moderne

    The bakery where Emily has her first pain au chocolat epiphany, now a pilgrimage site for fans. It is still a working neighbourhood boulangerie, so respect the morning queue of locals.

    • best morning
    • Métro Cardinal Lemoine (L10)
    Stay nearby
  • Panthéon

    In episode 2 Emily is on the phone in front of the Panthéon steps with Doug, her boyfriend back in Chicago, who was supposed to join her in Paris. He tells her he is not coming, and Emily ends their relationship. The domed monument, where Voltaire, Victor Hugo and Marie Curie are buried, is around the corner from Emily's square.

    • best golden hour
    • Métro Luxembourg (RER B)
    Stay nearby
  • Jardin du Luxembourg

    Emily's running spot: season 1, episode 2 opens with her morning run through the Luxembourg Gardens, where she stops by one of the statues, before heading back to her flat. The Senate's garden, with its lawns, statues and the Luxembourg Palace, is about 10 minutes on foot from Emily's square.

    • best morning
    • Métro Luxembourg (RER B)
    Stay nearby
  • Café de Flore

    The 1887 literary café, Sartre's old haunt, where Emily meets Thomas, the literature professor. Red awnings, wicker chairs and more than a century of literary history.

    • best afternoon
    • Métro Saint-Germain-des-Prés (L4)
    Stay nearby
  • Palais Royal (Galerie de Montpensier)

    The arcade where Emily strolls in slow motion more than once. Symmetrical columns and soft light through the arches make it the closest thing Paris has to a natural runway.

    • best golden hour
    • Métro Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre (L1/L7)
    Stay nearby
  • Le Grand Véfour

    A two-century-old restaurant facing the Palais Royal gardens, all red velvet and gilded mirrors. In the first season it is the restaurant of a reservation mix-up.

    • best blue hour
    • Métro Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre (L1/L7)
    Stay nearby
  • Canal Saint-Martin (Passerelle Bichat)

    The pedestrian iron footbridge over the canal where Emily has more than one candid heart-to-heart. Plane trees, moored barges and the easy rhythm of the canal.

    • best golden hour
    • Métro Jacques Bonsergent (L5)
    Stay nearby
  • Atelier des Lumières

    An immersive digital-art space where Emily has an emotional art-as-therapy moment. It works best if you time your visit to the current exhibition.

    • best night
    • Métro Saint-Ambroise (L9)
    Stay nearby
  • Café de l'Homme

    The restaurant terrace with the most directly framed Eiffel Tower view in the city. In episode 2 Emily attends her first work evening here, a party for the perfume house Maison Lavaux.

    Stay nearby
  • Musée des Arts Forains

    A private museum of antique fairground rides and the jewel-box setting for the Fourtier watch party, where Emily looks after the actress Brooklyn Clark. Few interiors in the city photograph better.

    • best night
    • Métro Cour Saint-Émilion (L14)
    Stay nearby
  • Pont Alexandre III

    The gilded Beaux-Arts bridge where the De l'Heure perfume commercial is being shot until Emily interrupts the filming. Gold cherubs and Seine views both ways make it one of the most cinematic spots in Paris.

    • best golden hour
    • Métro Invalides (L8/L13)
    Stay nearby
  • Jardin du Palais Royal

    The Palais-Royal garden is Emily's lunch spot near the office: on a lunch break in the first episode she meets Mindy here, a Chinese nanny who once dreamed of being a pop star. Later in the series Sylvie and Emily also come here for confidential lunchtime talks. Buren's striped columns are not in the garden: they stand in the cour d'honneur just south of it, a separate courtyard.

    • best afternoon
    • Métro Palais Royal (L1/L7)
    Stay nearby
  • Ladurée Champs-Élysées

    The pastel pastry house where Emily negotiates macaron partnerships. The pistachio-and-gold storefront is a character in its own right.

    • best midday
    • Métro George V (L1)
    Stay nearby
  • Le Train Bleu (Gare de Lyon)

    The Belle Epoque restaurant inside Gare de Lyon, all gilded ceilings and frescoes, frames Emily's grand return to Paris in season five.

    • best late morning
    • Métro Gare de Lyon (1, 14)
    Stay nearby
  • Pont Neuf

    Paris's oldest bridge becomes the backdrop for season five's late-night walks across the Seine, the Louvre glowing on the Right Bank.

    • best blue hour
    • Métro Pont Neuf (7)
    Stay nearby
  • Le Bateau Lavoir

    The Montmartre atelier where Picasso and Modigliani worked. Luc brings Emily here in episode nine for a lesson in bohemian Paris.

    • best early morning
    • Métro Abbesses (12)
    Stay nearby
  • Maxim's

    The Art Nouveau institution on rue Royale, a temple of Parisian nightlife since 1893, returns to the spotlight in season five.

    • best evening

    • best night
    • Métro Alma-Marceau (9)
    Stay nearby
  • Parvis Notre-Dame (Point Zero)

    Emily crosses the cathedral square in season five. The bronze Point Zero marker underfoot is the official centre of Paris, and of her story.

    • best golden hour
    • Métro Cite (4)
    Stay nearby
  • Place de Valois

    The quiet courtyard where Savoir, the marketing agency Emily Cooper joins from Chicago, has its office (later Agence Grateau, run by her boss Sylvie). The building appears in every season. It sits just east of the Palais-Royal, a different spot from the garden and the arcades.

    • best morning
    • Métro Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre (L1/L7)
    Stay nearby
  • Terra Nera

    A real Italian restaurant on Place de l'Estrapade that plays the restaurant of Gabriel, the chef who lives downstairs from Emily. In the show its name changes with the story: Les Deux Compères in season 1, Chez Lavaux in season 2, and later L'Esprit de Gigi.

    • best evening
    • Métro Cardinal Lemoine (L10)
    Stay nearby
  • Palais Garnier

    Paris's 19th-century opera house. Emily comes here for a ballet night with Thomas, a professor she met at Café de Flore and has been dating; when he sneers at the show she walks away from him and, on the grand staircase, ends up talking with the fashion designer Pierre Cadault.

    • best afternoon
    • Métro Opéra (L3/L7/L8)
    Stay nearby
  • Lulu la Nantaise

    In episode 6 Emily brings Thomas, the professor she is dating, on a double date with Gabriel and his girlfriend Camille. Gabriel calls it a great little tapas place in the 10th; in real life it is a Breton crêperie a few steps from Canal Saint-Martin, and it still serves galettes and cider.

    • best evening
    • Métro Jacques Bonsergent (L5)
    Stay nearby
  • Ralph's

    In episode 9 a fellow American takes Emily to lunch here, at what she calls the only restaurant in Paris where they're not allowed to speak French. It is the restaurant inside the Ralph Lauren store, with an American menu, burgers included, in a 17th-century townhouse with a courtyard garden.

    • best afternoon
    • Métro Saint-Germain-des-Prés (L4)
    Stay nearby

    • best sunset
    • Métro Pont Neuf (L7)
    Stay nearby
  • Monnaie de Paris

    In episode 10 the designer Pierre Cadault stages his fashion show outdoors, in front of the Monnaie de Paris. The 18th-century building on the Seine is the home of the French mint, and today also a museum about coins and the people who make them.

    • best afternoon
    • Métro Pont Neuf (L7)
    Stay nearby
  • Les Deux Stations

    In episode 10, with Paris Fashion Week in full swing, Emily and Mindy go for drinks at this brasserie, crowded with fashion week visitors. It is a real neighbourhood brasserie on the western edge of the city, by Porte d'Auteuil, far from the other places of the series.

    • best evening
    • Métro Porte d'Auteuil (L10)
    Stay nearby
  • La Maison Rose

    The small pink restaurant on a Montmartre corner. After a bad day at work, Emily's friend Mindy, a singer working as a nanny in Paris, takes her here for dinner.

    Fewer crowds: Quieter early in the morning, before the photographers arrive.

    • best morning
    • Métro Lamarck–Caulaincourt (L12)
    Stay nearby
  • Place Dalida

    In episode 5 Emily stages the photo shoot for the Hästens bed campaign on this little Montmartre square, a spot she found the night before on an evening out with her friend Mindy. It is at the other end of Rue de l'Abreuvoir from La Maison Rose, where three streets meet, with a bronze bust of the singer Dalida, who lived in the neighbourhood.

    • best morning
    • Métro Lamarck–Caulaincourt (L12)
    Stay nearby
  • Café de la Nouvelle Mairie

    The café just off Emily's square where she and Mindy meet for brunch and gossip. In episode 5 Emily tells Mindy here that she kissed Gabriel, her downstairs neighbour, moments before his girlfriend Camille comes to join them. It is still a neighbourhood café and wine bar today.

    • best morning
    • Métro Cardinal Lemoine (L10)
    Stay nearby
  • Hôtel Plaza Athénée

    The palace hotel on Avenue Montaigne, known for its red awnings. In season 1 the American actress Brooklyn Clark stays here while Emily looks after her for a watch campaign; in season 4 the hotel's courtyard is dressed as a winter chalet for the agency's holiday party.

    • best evening
    • Métro Alma-Marceau (L9)
    Stay nearby
  • Château de Versailles

    The palace's Hall of Mirrors is the setting of the season 2 finale: the fashion show of Grégory Elliot Dupree, a young designer, where the veteran designer Pierre Cadault makes a grand entrance.

    Fewer crowds: Quieter after 3 pm, when the tour groups leave.

Before you go: quick answers

Where is Emily's apartment in Paris?
How do I get there from London or from the airport?
  • The Eurostar from London St Pancras arrives at Paris Gare du Nord in about 2 hours 20 minutes.

  • From Gare du Nord, and from Charles de Gaulle airport, the RER B train goes straight to Luxembourg station, about 10 minutes on foot from Emily's square.

How many days do I need for the Emily in Paris locations?
  • Two days are enough for Paris: one for the Latin Quarter, Café de Flore and the Palais Royal, one for the bridges and the rest of the city.

  • Versailles is a half day by RER C train.

  • In the Plan section, Roseo turns the places into days, with times and distances.

Where should I stay to be close to Emily's places?
  • In the Latin Quarter or Saint-Germain: Emily's square, Café de Flore and the Seine are all within walking distance.

  • In the Book section, Roseo shows hotels near the places at the partner's own prices, with nothing added.

Can I eat where Emily eats?
  • Yes.

  • Café de Flore is open every day.

  • Terra Nera, Gabriel's restaurant in the series, is small: book ahead for dinner.

  • Le Grand Véfour in the Palais Royal is a historic, expensive restaurant that needs a booking well in advance.

Where are the Rome and Venice scenes?
  • From the end of season 4 Emily works in Rome: her flat is on Piazza Mattei, and she visits the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.

  • Season 5 ends in Venice.

  • In the Plan section, choose Rome or Venice to plan each city on its own.
