We always say if it is:
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.
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.

Showing 33 of 55
The square where Emily's apartment building stands: a leafy little place with a fountain that becomes her morning view in every season.
Access · Public square, free. Emily's building is a real home: photograph the square and the fountain, not the front door, and keep your voice down.
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.
Access · Open during shop hours
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.
Access · The square and the steps are free. Inside the monument you need a ticket: open every day from 10 am to 6:30 pm April to September and to 6 pm October to March, last entry 45 minutes before closing, closed 1 January, 1 May and 25 December. Check paris-pantheon.fr before you go.
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.
Access · Free entry. The gates open between 7:30 and 8:15 am and close between 4:30 and 9:30 pm, depending on the season: in winter the garden closes in the late afternoon.
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.
Access · Open to all (order something)
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.
Access · Public space
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.
Access · Restaurant: reservation required
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.
Access · Public space
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.
Access · Ticket required
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.
Access · Restaurant: reservation recommended
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.
Access · Ticket required (limited visits)
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.
Access · Public space
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.
Access · Public space
The pastel pastry house where Emily negotiates macaron partnerships. The pistachio-and-gold storefront is a character in its own right.
Access · Public space
The Belle Epoque restaurant inside Gare de Lyon, all gilded ceilings and frescoes, frames Emily's grand return to Paris in season five.
Access · Restaurant: book a table to go in
Paris's oldest bridge becomes the backdrop for season five's late-night walks across the Seine, the Louvre glowing on the Right Bank.
Access · Public space
The Montmartre atelier where Picasso and Modigliani worked. Luc brings Emily here in episode nine for a lesson in bohemian Paris.
Access · Outside only: the artists' studios open only by appointment
The Art Nouveau institution on rue Royale, a temple of Parisian nightlife since 1893, returns to the spotlight in season five.
Access · Restaurant: book to go in; the façade is free to see
Mindy returns to the stage of the famed avenue George V cabaret in season five, closing the loop on her Paris story.
Access · Cabaret: ticket for the evening show; the façade is free to see
Emily crosses the cathedral square in season five. The bronze Point Zero marker underfoot is the official centre of Paris, and of her story.
Access · Public space (cathedral square)
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.
Access · Public courtyard, free. The offices themselves are private.
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.
Access · Working restaurant: book a table to eat inside; the front is free to see from the square.
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.
Access · Ticket needed to go inside (visits or a performance): check times before you go. The facade and steps are free.
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.
Access · Working crêperie, open every day; book for dinner. Opening times found online do not agree, so check before you go. The front is free to see.
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.
Access · Restaurant inside the Ralph Lauren store, open every day for lunch (12 pm to 4:30 pm) and dinner (6:30 pm to 10:30 pm); booking advised. The courtyard tables are for summer.
The iron footbridge between the Louvre and the Institut de France. Emily and her boss Sylvie walk across it while they puzzle over where to stage designer Pierre Cadault's fashion show.
Access · Public footbridge, free, open at all hours.
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.
Access · The facade on the quay is free to see at any time. The museum inside needs a ticket (€12, free under 26 and on the first Sunday of the month): open Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm, to 9 pm on Wednesdays, last entry 30 minutes before closing; closed on Mondays, 1 January, 1 May and 25 December. Step-free throughout.
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.
Access · Working brasserie, open every day from 10 am to midnight (to 12:30 am Thursday to Saturday). It is in the 16th arrondissement, a long way west of the other places: pair it with a visit to that side of Paris.
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.
Access · Working restaurant; the outside is free to see. Busy with photographers from late morning.
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.
Access · Public square, free, open at all hours. Montmartre is hilly: from the metro it is an uphill walk of about 10 minutes.
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.
Access · Working café and wine bar, open Monday to Friday from 8 am to midnight, closed at weekends. The terrace is small and popular with locals: book or come early. One step at the entrance.
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.
Access · Hotel: the courtyard and bars are for guests and customers; the facade is free to see.
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.
Access · Ticket required; book a time slot and check opening days before you go.
In the series this is the home of the family of Camille, Gabriel's girlfriend: a Champagne house near Épernay. It was really filmed at this wine estate in the Chinon area of the Loire Valley, far from Champagne.
Access · Private family home and working wine estate. Tastings and cellar visits only by arrangement. Ask the estate before you go, and don't enter the grounds without an invitation.
The episode about a weekend in Saint-Tropez opens at this little seaside station. The story says Saint-Tropez, but Emily actually steps off the train here, about 120 km to the east.
Access · Public station, free.
The luxury hotel at the tip of Cap Ferrat plays Emily's hotel in "Saint-Tropez". She checks in here for the weekend with her friends Mindy and Camille.
Access · Hotel: grounds and restaurants for guests and customers; check booking before you go. The coastal path nearby is public.
A small pebble cove on Cap Ferrat facing the bay. In the episode it is the beach club where Emily and her friends spend a sunny day with champagne on the restaurant terrace.
Access · Public beach; the beach restaurant and loungers are paid: check before you go.
A small fishermen's chapel on the harbour, painted inside by the artist Jean Cocteau from 1957. In the "Saint-Tropez" episode Camille, Gabriel's girlfriend, has an early-morning moment here with Emily.
Access · Small chapel with limited opening; check times before you go.
Rome's best-known fountain. Marcello, the Italian heir Emily is falling for, explains the coin-toss tradition here: how many coins you throw decides what you wish for.
Fewer crowds: Quieter very early in the morning, before 9 am.
Access · The square is free. The area in front of the basin needs a €2 ticket for non-residents (since 2 February 2026): 09:00 to 22:00, from 11:30 on Mondays and Fridays, free after 22:00. Rome residents, children under 6 and disabled visitors with a companion go in free. Tickets online at fontanaditrevi.roma.it or at the entrance. Bathing in the fountain is forbidden and fined. Check the times before you go.
Emily and Marcello ride past the Colosseum on his Vespa during their tour of Rome, and he tells her to put her phone down and simply look.
Access · Outside free; ticket needed to go in: book ahead.
The famous keyhole in the gate of the Knights of Malta priory frames the dome of St Peter's at the end of a garden path. Marcello brings Emily here and tells her she can see three countries at once.
Access · Public square, free. Queues at the keyhole can be long later in the day.
A small square in the old Jewish quarter with the Turtle Fountain. In season 4 Mindy, Emily's best friend and a singer, plays a song here after a breakup; in season 5 Emily's Rome flat is in the building facing the fountain, on the Piazza Costaguti side.
Access · Public square, free. The palazzo is private. People live here: keep your voice down and don't ring the bells.
The historic hotel on the lagoon front, next to St Mark's. In the season 5 finale the agency and the Muratori family celebrate the fashion show here, and Marcello asks Emily to run his brand's marketing.
Access · Hotel: interiors for guests and customers; the waterfront is free.
Venice's main square, with the basilica and the bell tower. In season 5 it is where Julien, Emily's colleague, buys up a street seller's whole stock of rain ponchos.
Fewer crowds: Quieter around 7 am and in the evening, after the day visitors have left.
Access · Public square, free.
The Alpine ski village where the group spends a mountain weekend at the chalet of Camille's family. The crew filmed in the village centre, on the Mont d'Arbois slopes and at a chalet hotel.
Access · Village square free; ski lifts and restaurants paid.
A real filming location. At the end of their first day together in Rome, Emily sits on the famous steps with Marcello, the charming heir of an Italian cashmere family she has just met. A photo of the two of them is how Sylvie, her boss in Paris, finds out who Emily really spent the day with.
Fewer crowds: Quieter early in the morning, around 7 to 9 am.
Access · Public, free. Sitting on the steps is forbidden and can be fined, so stand or keep walking.
A real filming location. This white 1930s building covered in rows of arches, nicknamed the Square Colosseum, is the Rome headquarters of the fashion house Fendi. In season 5 Emily pitches to Fendi here and loses the brand's anniversary campaign after showing off her grandmother's Fendi bag, which turns out to be a fake.
Access · The outside is free to see. Inside are Fendi's offices; the ground floor sometimes hosts exhibitions: check before you go.
A real filming location. Marcello takes Emily up the Janiculum hill on his Vespa, past the great Acqua Paola fountain, to this terrace where a cannon is fired every day at noon, with the whole of Rome spread out below.
Access · Public square, free.
A real filming location. Built in the 2nd century next to the Roman Forum, Trajan's Market is one of the oldest shopping complexes in the world. Emily and Marcello stroll here in season 5, and she opens up to him about the pressure she feels to succeed.
Access · Free to see from the street; ticket needed for the museum inside: check before you go.
A real filming location. In season 5 Sylvie, Emily's boss, opens a Rome branch of her marketing agency, Agence Grateau, and puts it in the fairytale Coppedè district. The Palazzo Senza Nome on this square plays the agency's entrance; in the middle stands the Fountain of the Frogs.
Access · Public square, free. The buildings are private homes. People live here: keep your voice down and don't ring the bells.
A real filming location. An ancient Roman theatre from the time of Augustus, with homes later built on top of its arches. After a rooftop party in season 4, Emily and Marcello say goodnight here with the old arches behind them.
Access · Free to see from the street; the walkway around it is usually open by day: check before you go. The upper floors are private homes.
A real filming location. The little medieval village of Ostia Antica, around the castle of Pope Julius II, plays Solitano, Marcello's fictional hometown. In the season 4 finale Emily comes here looking for him and meets his mother, Antonia; in season 5 the agency throws the launch of the family's new perfume, Muratori Paradiso, here. It is the old village, not the famous Roman excavations next door.
Access · Public streets, free. The castle and the excavations nearby have their own tickets and hours: check before you go.
