Finding Emily in Paris Filming Locations

Updated: Apr 25, 2023



If you're a fan of the hit Netflix series Emily in Paris, chances are you're also curious about where the show was filmed. The romantic comedy-drama series, which follows the adventures of a young American woman named Emily as she moves to Paris for work, is set in the iconic city of love and features some of the most beautiful and iconic locations in the city.



Here are some of the filming locations we visited that are regularly used for Emily in Paris:

  1. Emily's Apartment: 5 Pl. De L'Estrapade - Introduced to us in Episode 1, Emily finds her home away from home as she arrived off the plane from Chicago. Don't be fooled, the inside shots of Emily's apartment were filmed in a studio.

  2. Gabriel's Restaurant: 18 Rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques - Just a couple steps down from Emily's apartment you will see Gabriel's restaurant. In reality, it is an Italian restaurant called Terra Nera.

  3. Bakery: 16 Rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques - Just like it's called in the show La Boulangerie Moderne will serve you up a sinful pain au chocolat croissant. Unfortunately, we were there during their summer months so the bakery was closed.

  4. Savoir: 6 Place de Valois - This is where they filmed the exterior shots of Savior as Emily makes her way to work. Right beside Savoir is a cute little cafe, Bistrot Valois, and that is where her coworkers would each lunch.

  5. Pont Alexandre III: The Pont Alexandre III is a bridge that spans the Seine River and is one of the most iconic landmarks in Paris. If you remember they filmed the controversial perfume commercial for Maison Lavaux there.

  6. Jardin du Palais Royal: 2 Galerie de Montpensier - If you walk a block down from Savoir you will find the spot where Emily meets Mindy for the first time in Episode 1. Emily has it right! This is the best spot to sit down enjoy a Parisian lunch and soak up the beauty around you.

  7. Canal St Martin: We were doing a food tour when we realized as we were walking that this looks familiar. Then it hit us! This is where Emily, Thomas, Gabriel, and Camille are walking during their double date. Honestly, this is such a perfect place to picnic along the canal.

Emily in Paris is a show that will transport you to the enchanting streets of Paris, the City of Love. As you watch Emily's adventures unfold, you'll be taken on a tour of some of the most stunning and iconic locations in the city. From quaint cafes to historic landmarks, each scene is beautifully filmed and captures the essence of Paris.


And the best part? You can visit many of these filming locations yourself! Whether you're a fan of the show or simply want to experience the magic of Paris, these spots are definitely worth a visit. Immerse yourself in the world of Emily in Paris and feel like you're part of the story.


We've even compiled a video showcasing even more locations from the show. So sit back, relax, and let us take you on a virtual journey to Paris. Who knows, it might just inspire your next adventure!
