It’s a cliche to say, but Paris really is one of the main characters in Netflix’s smash hit series, Emily in Paris. Fans will be delighted to find that there are Emily in Paris filming locations all over Paris to visit, including Emily’s Apartment, Gabriel’s Restaurant, the Savoir offices and dozens of iconic Paris sights that were used as locations in the popular series. On my most recent trip to Paris, I couldn’t help but visit Emily’s Apartment, the restaurant and Emily’s office, as well as a few other Parisian locations that were used in the show. The best part is, that the filming locations offer a wonderful tour of some of Paris’ most beautiful sights. A win-win!

Map of Emily in Paris Film Locations

Where is Emily in Paris filmed?

Emily in Paris is filmed in Paris and its suburbs, with dozens of filming locations you can visit around the city. You can visit many of the Emily in Paris film locations, but some key sets like the interior of her apartment and the Savior offices are filmed on sets in the Paris suburbs. However, you can visit Gabriel’s restaurant, and see the exterior of her apartment and the Savoir Offices. The series also has several destination episodes set around France, including Versailles, St Tropez, Provence and the Loire Valley.

What Neighborhood Does Emily in Paris Live In?

Emily lives in the Latin Quarter, a neighbourhood in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. This is just a few streets away from the Pantheon, and she lives on the same street as Gabriel’s restaurant.

Emily’s Apartment

Emily’s Apartment is the new Carrie’s apartment. You can visit Emily’s apartment building in Paris, which is tucked away in a quiet, charming pocket of the Latin Quarter, the 5th arrondissement. Dreamy spot! The fountain in the square outside her apartment is also the setting for the dramatic scene when Camille accuses Emily of having an affair with Gabriel. Emily’s apartment is also a stone’s throw from Gabriel’s restaurant, so you can see two of the show’s most famous locations at once!

Address: 1 Pl. de l’Estrapade, 75005 Paris, France

Gabriel’s Restaurant

Gabriel’s restaurant is a real restaurant in Paris, Terra Nera. Located in the Latin Quarter, right by Emily’s Apartment, Terra Nera is a charming Italian restaurant. They’ve even added a dish in Emily’s honour to the menu! If you’re going to get a photo right outside the restaurant, consider stopping in and buying a meal or a drink at least – I was disappointed to see “influencers” crowding the facade of the restaurant while they posed for photos and videos, but not stopping in as a customer.

Address: 18 Rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques, 75005 Paris, France

Boulangerie Moderne by Thierry Rabineau

A minor filming location, this boulangerie is a filming location in the first season. Emily buys a pain au chocolat that blows her Francophile mind here – try them for yourself! It’s just a few doors down from Gabriel’s Restaurant.

Address:16 Rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques, 75005 Paris, France

Emily’s Office (Savoir Office)

The Savoir Office is an iconic Emily in Paris filming location, and while you can’t go inside, you can visit the facade of the building where dozens of shots are filmed. The office door is beside Galerie Patrick Fourtin, which is the easiest landmark to put into Google Maps. It’s tucked away in a chic, quiet courtyard, Place de Valois, in the elegant first arrondissement. It’s only a short walk from the Louvre, the Jardin des Tuileries and Palais-Royal, where Emily met Mindy.

Address: 9 Rue des Bons Enfants, 75001 

Bistro Valois: The Savoir Team’s Favourite Restaurant

I love that so many of the filming locations in Emily in Paris are genuinely as close together as they seem in the show. There is a restaurant and bar in the same Place de Valois as the Savoir office, where the team get together for drinks on more than one occasion.

Jardin du Palais-Royal

The Jardin du Palais-Royal are the filming location for Emily in Paris where Emily meets Mindy for the first time, and they continue to catch up here throughout the series. I love these gardens, they are small but quiet and peaceful, and hidden from street view by the surrounding Palais-Royal. Don’t miss the striking black and quite sculptural installation in the courtyard, at the front of the Palais-Royal. This is close to the Louvre, Jardin des Tuileries, the Savoir Office, and the charming second arrondissement.

Palais Garnier

Palais Garnier is one of the most opulent sights in Paris, and so it’s no surprise that it has been used as a filming location for Emily in Paris. In episode six of season one, Emily and Thomas were meant to go on a date to watch Swan Lake at Palais Garnier. Beyond its use as a filming location, Palais Garnier is a spectacle in its own right. The 19th century opera house is also the largest in Europe, and was the inspiration and setting for the novel Phantom of the Opera, which is now the longest running show on Broadway. To visiti Palais Garnier, book a self-guided tour, tickets to a show or a guided tour with an expert.

Galeries Lafayette

While you’re in the Opera neighbourhood, visit the spectacular Galeries Lafayette, Paris’ most beautiful department store. After you’ve done some shopping, head to the rooftop terrace for incredible views over Paris, as well as the setting for a brief lunch with Emily and Camille. Palais Garnier, also known as Opera Garnier, is located in Paris’ 9th arrondissement, Opera. 

Jardins du Luxembourg

The Jardins du Luxembourg is one of my favourite gardens in Paris, located on the left bank in St Germain (6th). The gardens are used as a filming location for Emily in Paris, where she takes her early morning jog through the beautiful gardens. What a scenic place for a morning run! 

Pont Alexandre III

The Pont Alexandre III is the most beautiful bridge in Paris, so it’s no surprise that it quickly became a film location for Emily in Paris. This is used in Episode 3 of Season 1, when Savoir are filming a regressive perfume advertisement with their client Maison Lavaux. The Beaux-Arts bridge is ornate and extravagant, with Beaux-Arts lamps, cherubs and nymphs adorning the pretty, pale blue and gold bridge. Pont Alexandre III connects the Champs-Elysee to Invalides and the Eiffel Tower, on the other side of the Seine.

Pont Neuf

Despite the name, which translates to New Bridge in old French, Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris. Pont Neuf was a filming location for the show in the final episode of Season 2, where Emily stands as she makes a big decision about whether to stay in Paris. Pont Neuf was completed in the 16th century, and connects Ile de Cite, the island in the middle of the Seine, to the left and right banks of Paris.

Bateaux Mouches

In Season 2, a party scene is filmed on one of the Bateaux Mouches, the riverboats that run up and down the Seine. These are typically tourist boats, and are very crowded, but genuinely offer some beautiful, alternative views of Paris from the Seine.

Rue de l’Abreuvoir in Montmartre

Mindy introduces Emily to a street in Montmartre which she calls “the prettiest street in Paris” on a night out. I personally wouldn’t wander the backstreets of Montmartre at night, but it is just as pretty during the day!

Le Maison Rose

Le Maison Rose, is, as the name suggests, a little pink house, tucked away in the backstreets of Montmartre. It’s somewhat of an Instagram hotspot, even moreso now that it’s featured on Emily in Paris. In Season 1, Episode 5, Emily and Mindy stop for a drink at Maison Rose. 

Place du Pantheon

The Pantheon is close to home for Emily, just a few streets away from her apartment. The Pantheon in the 5th arrondissement was the backdrop for the scene where Emily breaks up with her American boyfriend Doug, over the phone. The Pantheon has a storied history in Paris. It started as the church of Saint Genevieve, in the 6th century. St Genevieve was credited with saving Paris from Attila the Hun in the 6th century, and in the 8th century her relics were credited with warding off a Viking attack. In the 18th century, King Louis XV vowed to rebuild the church if he recovered from a severe illness, which had him on his deathbed. The Pantheon was built in its current form, in honour of St Genevieve but also as a symbol of Paris and the strength of the monarchy. After the revolution, it became a secular site dedicated to France’s heroes.

La Coupole

La Coupole is a glamorous art deco brasserie in Montparnasse, and a filming location for one of Emily & Alfie’s dates. La Coupole is a longstanding Parisian hotspot, and while you’ll find some foodie tourists, it’s not a tourist trap like Cafe de Flore or Les Deux Magots in St Germain. Montparnasse barely sees any tourists, in comparison to some of the more famous neighbourhoods of Paris, so it’s the perfect spot for a more genuine, Parisian experience.

Jardin des Tuileries

Another date spot for Emily & Alfie! The beautiful Jardin des Tuileries was the filming location for Episode 4 in Season 3, when Emily goes on date with Alfie which included a spin on the ferris wheel in the gardens. The Jardin des Tuileries is the most famous public park in Paris, and one of the most beautiful. It’s attached to the Louvre, so is a perfect spot for a pre or post museum stroll.

Cafe de Flore

Not far from the Jardins du Luxembourg is Cafe de Flore, a landmark Paris cafe that was used as a filming location for Emily in Paris in season one, episode two. It is here that Emily meets the intellectual Thomas. In reality, meeting a French person here seems quite unlikely, as it is a bit of a tourist trap – it is the famed hangout of Ernest Hemingway and other artists and intellectuals in the 1920s and 1930s, so it’s firmly on the tourist trail today.

Sacre Coeur

Sacre Coeur is my favourite building in Paris. The iconic white domes of Sacre Coeur makes two appearances in Season 4 of Emily in Paris, in episode 3 and episode 9, as well as featuring in Season 1 Episode 5 on a day spent sightseeing around Montmartre with Mindy. The basilica of Sacre Coeur was opened in 1875, which makes it one of Paris’ younger  historical monuments, but it’s dazzling mosaic interiors and views over Paris make it worth a visit. Entry to Sacre Coeur is free!

Le Moulin Rouge

The infamous Moulin Rouge cabaret theatre is also featured in Episode 5 of Season 1, as part of Emily & Mindy’s day sightseeing & taking selfies around Montmartre. You can take photos outside, but you can’t take photos during the shows. I’ve been to both the Moulin Rouge, and the Lido on the Champs-Elysee, and personally I think the latter is the better show, but the windmills of the Moulin Rouge are still an iconic Parisian sight! Be wary of pickpockets in this area.

Place des Vosges

Place des Vosges is the filming location for Emily in Paris, where Mindy and Benoit fall in love. Built in the 1612 under Henry IV, Place des Vosges is one of the most historic parks in Paris, and it’s my personal favourite for a picnic. The small square park is surrounded by arcades of high end cafes and art galleries, and historic homes that included residents like Victor Hugo.

Musee D’Orsay

The Musee D’Orsay is one of the most treasured museums in Paris. Unlike the Louvre, housed in a former palace, Musee D’Orsay is housed a former train station – fortunately, a 19th century Beaux-Arts train station makes a much more charming museum than a train station built today would! The collection at Musee D’Orsay focuses on French work between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. It’s here that Gabriel and Camille meet for a date, recreating their first meeting. Don’t miss Van Gogh’s Starry Night and works by Manet, Monet, Renoir and Morisot.
