Emily in Paris · Filming location

Jardin du Palais Royal

In the story · S1E1, S2E6

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.

In the garden, stand by the central fountain and shoot south down the rows of clipped lime trees. For the striped columns, walk through the Galerie d'Orléans into the cour d'honneur and shoot low across the columns.
