Emily in Paris is filmed largely on location in Paris, which is why so many of the streets, cafés, gardens, bridges, and restaurants in the series are places you can actually visit.

The most recognizable Emily in Paris filming locations include Emily's apartment at Place de l'Estrapade, Gabriel's restaurant at Terra Nera, the Savoir and Agence Grateau office at Place de Valois, Café de Flore, Pont Alexandre III, the Palais Royal gardens, La Maison Rose in Montmartre, and several museums and restaurants around the city.

The series has also filmed outside Paris in later seasons, but this guide focuses on the real Paris locations you can add to your own trip.

If you want to follow Emily's route through Paris, these are the 15 filming locations worth adding to your trip:

Most of these places are spread across central Paris, but several sit very close together. The Latin Quarter alone gives you Emily's apartment, the bakery, Gabriel's restaurant, the Panthéon, and Luxembourg Gardens within an easy walk.

1. Place de l'Estrapade: Emily's apartment

An elevated view over a quiet tree-lined Paris square, stone and brick townhouses with steep mansard roofs on three sides under a blue sky with broken cloud

Address: 1 Place de l'Estrapade, 75005 Paris

Seen in the show: Emily and Gabriel's apartment building

This small square in the 5th arrondissement is probably the most important Emily in Paris filming location. Emily arrives here at the beginning of the series, moves into her tiny top-floor apartment, and quickly discovers that Gabriel lives downstairs.

The exterior is real, and the square is easy to visit. There is a fountain in the middle, benches, and a quiet neighborhood feel that makes it much less dramatic than it looks on screen.

The best part is that several other filming locations are only a few steps away. La Boulangerie Moderne and Terra Nera are on Rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques, while the Panthéon is just around the corner.

Remember that the apartment building is residential. Take your photos from the square and avoid blocking the entrance or disturbing the people who actually live there.

2. La Boulangerie Moderne: Emily's bakery

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

Seen in the show: Emily's local bakery and the place where she buys her first pain au chocolat

La Boulangerie Moderne is one of the easiest filming locations to turn into an actual experience rather than just a photo stop.

In the first season, Emily walks into the bakery near her apartment, struggles a little with French, orders a pain au chocolat, and immediately becomes obsessed with it. The bakery is real and still sits beside Place de l'Estrapade.

Go in the morning, pick up a pastry, and eat it on the square. It is a simple stop, but it feels much more connected to the series than standing outside a random façade for a picture.

3. Terra Nera: Gabriel's restaurant

An empty restaurant courtyard terrace laid with classic cane-backed bistro chairs and round white tables, under an olive tree strung with fairy lights and surrounded by potted greenery

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

Seen in the show: Gabriel's restaurant, known at different points as Les Deux Compères, Chez Lavaux, and L'Esprit de Gigi

Gabriel's restaurant is not a studio set. The exterior belongs to Terra Nera, a real Italian restaurant just a couple of doors from La Boulangerie Moderne.

The restaurant appears constantly throughout the series, so this is one of the most recognizable locations for fans. The fictional name changes as Gabriel's career develops, but the real-life address stays the same.

You can book a table and eat here, although the real menu is Italian rather than the exact French restaurant concept shown on screen. If you are planning an Emily in Paris themed day, this is the most obvious place for lunch or dinner.

4. Place de Valois: Savoir and Agence Grateau

Address: Place de Valois, 75001 Paris

Seen in the show: the exterior of Savoir and later Agence Grateau

Emily's office is hidden in one of the prettiest little squares near the Louvre. In the series, the fictional marketing agency Savoir is based at 6 Place de Valois. Later, the same area becomes associated with Agence Grateau.

This location is especially convenient because it sits beside the Palais Royal and only a short walk from the Louvre. You can see the office exterior, walk through the square, and then continue directly into the Jardin du Palais Royal.

Place de Valois is one of those locations that feels very "Emily in Paris" even without the show: elegant façades, cafés, galleries, and a quiet courtyard tucked away from much busier streets.

5. Jardin du Palais Royal: where Emily meets Mindy

The arcaded stone colonnade running around the wide inner courtyard of the Palais-Royal in Paris under a blue sky

Address: 43 Rue de Valois, 75001 Paris

Seen in the show: Emily and Mindy's first meeting and several workday scenes

The Jardin du Palais Royal is one of the best filming locations to visit even if you are only casually interested in the series.

Emily comes here for lunch because it is close to her office, and it is where she first meets Mindy. The garden has tree-lined paths, benches, arcades, cafés, and the famous black-and-white Buren Columns nearby.

It is also an easy place to slow down during a sightseeing day. Visit Place de Valois first, walk into the gardens, then continue toward the Louvre or Café Marly.

6. Jardin du Luxembourg: Emily's running route

The Medici Fountain in the Luxembourg Garden reflected the length of its long rectangular basin, framed by plane trees, stone urns and ivy garlands in early spring sunlight

Address: Rue de Médicis / Rue de Vaugirard, 75006 Paris

Seen in the show: Emily's morning jogging scenes

Emily may wear far more glamorous running clothes than most people in Paris, but the park itself is completely real.

The Jardin du Luxembourg appears as one of her regular jogging spots, and it is also one of the most beautiful public gardens in the city. You can walk past the palace, fountains, statues, formal flowerbeds, and rows of classic green chairs.

It is close to the Latin Quarter filming locations, so there is no need to plan a separate journey. Walk here from Place de l'Estrapade or the Panthéon and continue toward Saint-Germain-des-Prés afterward.

7. Panthéon: Emily's breakup scene

The dome and colonnaded drum of the Pantheon in Paris rising behind the monument's garlanded flank wall, with an ornate cast-iron street lamp in the foreground and a clear blue sky

Address: Place du Panthéon, 75005 Paris

Seen in the show: Emily's phone breakup with Doug

One of Emily's early "I really live in Paris now" moments happens in front of the Panthéon.

She stands outside the monument while speaking to her boyfriend Doug back in Chicago, and the conversation ends with their relationship falling apart. It is a dramatic scene in a very grand setting.

The Panthéon is only a few minutes from Emily's apartment. You can simply stop outside for the filming location, or go inside to see the monument and its crypt if you want to make it a proper sightseeing stop.

8. Café de l'Homme: the Eiffel Tower party

Gilded statues along the Palais de Chaillot terrace at Trocadero, backlit by low sun, with the Eiffel Tower standing across the river behind them

Address: 17 Place du Trocadéro et du 11 Novembre, 75016 Paris

Seen in the show: the Maison Lavaux fragrance party

If you remember the early party scene where Emily suddenly gets one of those impossibly perfect Eiffel Tower views, this is the place.

Café de l'Homme sits at the Trocadéro, directly across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. The series uses it for the Maison Lavaux event, giving Emily one of her first big luxury-marketing moments in Paris.

This is not a quick neighborhood stop like the Latin Quarter locations. Come here because you want the view, ideally around sunset or in the evening. Reservations are a good idea if you plan to eat or drink rather than simply explore Trocadéro.

9. Pont Alexandre III: the perfume campaign bridge

The gilded swags and white stone arch of Pont Alexandre III in warm evening light, its ornate lamp posts and two golden winged statues on their columns above the Seine

Address: Pont Alexandre III, 75007 Paris

Seen in the show: Maison Lavaux's provocative perfume campaign

Pont Alexandre III is one of the most cinematic bridges in Paris, so it makes perfect sense that the series used it for a luxury fragrance campaign.

The bridge is decorated with gilded statues, ornate lamps, and sweeping views toward the Grand Palais and Les Invalides. In Emily in Paris, it becomes the setting for a glamorous but controversial Maison Lavaux advertisement.

You do not need a ticket or reservation. Walk across the bridge, enjoy the Seine views, and combine it with the Champs-Élysées, Grand Palais, Invalides, or the Eiffel Tower area.

10. La Maison Rose: Emily and Mindy in Montmartre

A cobbled Montmartre street climbing between a large pink house with pale green shutters, an ivy-covered stone wall and creeper-clad buildings further down the hill

Address: 2 Rue de l'Abreuvoir, 75018 Paris

Seen in the show: Emily and Mindy's dinner in Montmartre

The little pink restaurant on Rue de l'Abreuvoir looks almost too perfect to be real, but it is.

La Maison Rose appears when Mindy takes Emily out in Montmartre. The surrounding street is also part of the show, including the area around Place Dalida where Emily works on the Hästens bed campaign.

This is one of the busiest photo spots on the list. Come early in the morning if you want the street to feel quieter, or book a meal if you want more than a quick exterior photo.

While you are here, continue uphill through Montmartre toward Sacré-Cœur. The neighborhood is full of steep streets, small squares, cafés, and viewpoints, so it is worth giving it more time than a single filming stop.

11. Café de Flore: Emily's Saint-Germain café

A cappuccino with leaf latte art in a white cup and saucer on a veined marble cafe table, a woven bistro chair just behind it

Address: 172 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris

Seen in the show: the café where Emily meets Thomas

Café de Flore was famous long before Emily in Paris, and that is exactly why it works so well in the series.

Emily meets Thomas here, and the scene leans into the café's literary, intellectual Saint-Germain image. In real life, Café de Flore is one of Paris's best-known historic cafés and has been associated with writers, artists, designers, and philosophers for decades.

Expect it to be busy and more expensive than a neighborhood café. You are paying for the location and the history as much as the coffee. If that sounds worth it, sit on the terrace and enjoy the people-watching.

12. Atelier des Lumières: the immersive art date

Two visitors silhouetted against a wall-sized projection of swirling yellow and pink brushstrokes in a darkened immersive-art hall

Address: 38 Rue Saint-Maur, 75011 Paris

Seen in the show: Emily, Camille, and Gabriel's immersive Van Gogh experience

Atelier des Lumières is one of the few Emily in Paris locations where the activity itself is the reason to visit.

The immersive digital art center fills a huge former industrial space with moving projections, music, and large-scale visual exhibitions. In the series, Emily, Camille, and Gabriel walk through a Van Gogh-themed exhibition together.

The program changes, so do not expect to see the same exhibition shown on screen. Check what is running during your trip and book if it appeals to you. This is a good choice for a rainy day or when you want a break from traditional museums.

13. Musée des Arts Forains: the magical party venue

An ornate Belle Epoque carousel with gilded panels, bevelled mirrors and rows of painted horses wearing tall pink ostrich plumes, standing in front of a classical arcaded building

Address: 53 Avenue des Terroirs de France, 75012 Paris

Seen in the show: the Fourtier party

The Musée des Arts Forains is one of the strangest and most memorable filming locations in the series.

It is a private museum dedicated to historic fairground culture, with antique carousels, carnival games, theatrical sets, and Belle Époque decoration. Emily in Paris uses the museum for the Fourtier event, which gives the whole scene a dreamlike atmosphere.

Unlike a normal museum, access can be limited and visits are often organized through guided tours or special opening periods. Check the official schedule before building your day around it.

It is farther from most of the central filming locations, so treat this as a destination rather than a quick stop between two sights.

14. Palais Garnier: Emily's opera night

The gilded auditorium of the Palais Garnier seen from below: tiers of red velvet boxes, carved gold balcony fronts, and the great crystal chandelier under the painted Chagall ceiling

Address: Place de l'Opéra, 75009 Paris

Seen in the show: Emily's Swan Lake evening

Few locations fit the visual world of Emily in Paris better than the Palais Garnier.

The historic opera house appears during Emily's glamorous night at Swan Lake. Its grand staircase, gold decoration, red velvet, chandeliers, and painted ceilings look exactly like the kind of Paris the series loves to show.

You do not need to attend a performance to see the building. Day visits are available when the schedule allows, and the area around Opéra is easy to combine with Galeries Lafayette, Place Vendôme, and central Paris shopping.

15. Le Café Marly: lunch beside the Louvre

The glass pyramid and the wings of the Louvre framed between two stone columns of the palace arcade, under a blue sky with billowing white cloud

Address: 93 Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris

Seen in the show: Emily, Camille, and Sylvie's lunch in season 2

Le Café Marly sits directly beside the Louvre, with a terrace looking toward the museum's famous glass pyramid.

In the series, Emily has an awkward lunch here with Camille and Sylvie. In real life, the location is just as polished as it looks on screen and works well for a coffee, lunch, or drink when you are already visiting the Louvre and Palais Royal area.

It is not a budget café, and you do not need to eat here to enjoy the area. But if your goal is to recreate one of the more glamorous Emily in Paris moments, this is one of the best places to do it.

How to visit the Emily in Paris filming locations

A high view over Paris at dusk: the Seine curving past a footbridge and museum roofs, dense zinc rooftops beyond, and Sacre-Coeur on the far horizon in pale pink light

Trying to see all 15 locations in one day will turn a fun themed trip into a transport challenge. A better plan is to group them by neighborhood.

Day 1: Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain

Start at Place de l'Estrapade, then visit La Boulangerie Moderne and Terra Nera. Walk to the Panthéon, continue through Jardin du Luxembourg, and finish around Saint-Germain at Café de Flore.

This is the easiest Emily in Paris filming route because several major locations are genuinely close together.

Day 2: Palais Royal, Louvre, Opéra, and the Seine

Start at Place de Valois and Jardin du Palais Royal, then walk toward Le Café Marly and the Louvre. Continue to Palais Garnier, then use the metro or a longer walk to reach Pont Alexandre III. Finish around Trocadéro at Café de l'Homme for an Eiffel Tower view.

Day 3: Montmartre and the eastern locations

Visit La Maison Rose and Rue de l'Abreuvoir early, before Montmartre becomes very busy. Later, head east to Atelier des Lumières. If the schedule works, continue to Musée des Arts Forains for a guided visit.

You can also spread these locations across a normal Paris trip instead of dedicating entire days to the series. Many of them sit beside major sights you would probably visit anyway.

Plan your Emily in Paris trip with EasyMiles

The fun part is choosing the places you want to see. The annoying part is figuring out how to fit Emily's apartment, the Louvre, Montmartre, a museum, dinner, and an Eiffel Tower view into the same trip without spending half your day crossing Paris.

EasyMiles builds a complete itinerary around your destination, travel dates, interests, food preferences, and preferred pace. You can make Emily in Paris filming locations part of your must-see list, then build realistic days around them with nearby sights, restaurants, and local experiences.

Instead of jumping between saved pins, maps, restaurant tabs, and opening-hour searches, you get one trip plan that makes sense geographically and fits the way you actually want to travel.

So yes, go take the photo outside Emily's apartment. But also leave enough time to sit in a garden, eat something good, walk through a neighborhood you did not plan to visit, and enjoy Paris beyond the screen.
