📍 Place Valois, 75001 Paris
Place Dalida, Montmartre

Emily in Paris, the places not to be missed : La Maison rose, Montmartre
The Maison Rose is one of the most emblematic places in the Cité du Sacré-Coeur. This is where Emily and Mindy go for dinner and a drink, seated in the prettiest way possible under the picturesque green-shuttered windows of the Maison Rose de Montmartre.
📍 La Maison Rose, Montmartre – 2 rue de l’Abreuvoir, 75018 Paris
Alexandre III bridge shooting Lavaux
What more emblematic place to shoot a perfume advert for Maison Lavaux than the Pont Alexandre III in Paris? In this episode, we are particularly reminded of Emily’s famous line: ” Sexy or… Sexist?”
📍 Pont Alexandre III, 75 008 Paris
La Boulangerie Moderne for “a” pain au chocolat
It was at the Boulangerie Moderne, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, that Emily experienced her first Parisian culinary orgasm. If we remember the scene where Emily orders “a pain au chocolat” from a baker who’s quite annoyed, we’re delighted to know that the Boulangerie Moderne is far from fictional. Run to rue des fossés Saint-Jacques for croissants and pains au chocolats galore!
📍 Boulangerie Moderne, 16 rue des fossés Saint-Jacques, 75005 Paris
L’Atelier des Lumières
At Paris Secret, we’re always singing the praises of Atelier des Lumières and its phantasmagorical novelties. It’s in this same Parisian landmark that Emily, Gabriel and Camille come to indulge in Rêverie during the immersive exhibition dedicated to Van Gogh, on a beautiful ‘starry night’. .. Follow in Emily’s footsteps at the Atelier des Lumières with “The Last Sentinels” or at the exceptional “Gustav Klimt” nocturnes , which are making a comeback.
📍 L’Atelier des Lumières, 38 Rue Saint-Maur, 75011 Paris
Evening at the Musée des Arts Forains
In the 7th episode of Emily in Paris, “Savoir” organizes a lavish evening at the Musée des Arts Forains. At the heart of this museum-show, dedicated to highlighting the beauty of our fairground heritage, you’ll be captivated by the century-old rides, ancient attractions and phantasmagorical curiosities. Despite the health crisis, the Musée des Arts forains keeps its magic alive by organizing private events (such as the Savoir Emily in Paris evening) and splendid guided tours for individuals, which should be booked as a matter of urgency.
📍 Musée des Arts Forains, 53 Avenue des Terroirs de France, 75012 Paris
The legendary Café de Flore
It’s one of the capital’s most popular spots. A bit of a cliché, le Flore is nonetheless endowed with that incandescent charm that takes us back in time, to the Paris of yesteryear… A place steeped in art, history and memories where literary icons never die… It’s only natural that we find Emily there during many of the scenes in season 1.
📍 Café de Flore, 172 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris
Hôtel Plaza Athénée – Suite Haute Couture Eiffel
In the series, Emily meets the colorful American actress Brooklyn Clark at the Plaza Athénée, the famous Parisian luxury hotel on Avenue Montaigne. During these scenes, we have the pleasure of immersing ourselves in the splendid Suite Haute Couture Eiffel. By featuring the Hôtel Plaza Athénée in “Emily in Paris”, Darren Star no doubt wanted to give a nod to his flagship series “Sex & the City”, where the luxury French hotel appears in the final season of Carrie Bradshaw’s adventures…
📍 Hôtel Plaza Athénée, 25 Avenue Montaigne, 75008 Paris
Café de la Nouvelle Mairie
For drinks and coffee with girlfriends, there’s the Café de la Nouvelle Mairie, which is actually just across the street from the Boulangerie Moderne, where Emily takes selfies with the gruff baker, and the “Deux Compères”, Gabriel’s famous restaurant (actually Terra Nera). Shall we go?
📍 Café de la Nouvelle Mairie, 69 rue des Pit, 75008 Paris
Cult locations from the Emily in Paris series : The Montmartre town house
The Hôtel Particulier Montmartre is a haven of peace in the heart of the capital. Within it, five splendid suites have been designed by renowned artists and visual artists. Its bar ” Le Très Particulier “ resembles a green bower, its restaurant ” Le Grand Salon “, its chic and bohemian events and its vast garden also contribute to its crazy, almost indefinable charm. And Emily understands that! Looking for a bucolic lunch?
📍 Pavillon, 23 Avenue Junot D, 75018 Paris
Maison Lavaux evening at the Musée de l’Homme with a view of the Eiffel Tower
This is one of the most beautiful images from Emily in Paris, one of the ones that made us want to discover the new series from Netflix giant. That evening, Emily went to the Musée de l’Homme for an event for Maison Lavaux. Champagne cocktails, a breathtaking view of the glittering Eiffel Tower, a little black dress… Parisian class!
📍 Café de l’Homme, 17 Place du Trocadéro et du 11 Novembre, 75016 Paris
Palais Royal Garden
Ah… The Garden of the Palais Royal! At Paris Secret, it’s one of our favorite Parisian gardens. So much so that, not so long ago, we told you about the romantic story of the poem-benches, placed in what is commonly known as “Le Jardin des belles lettres”. It’s in this very place, on the bend of a poem-bench, that Emily has a chance encounter with the eccentric Mindy. A place where they can debrief or have lunch with their girlfriends.
📍 Jardin du Palais Royal, 2 Galerie de Montpensier, 75001 Paris
Gabriel’s restaurant: Off to the Terra Nera restaurant
Did you think we’d forgotten about him? No way! “Les Deux Compères” is the go-to restaurant for Gabriel, Emily’s crush. Just a few days ago, we told you about Terra Nera, the real restaurant set up in place of Les Deux Compères, which has been snapped up by fans of the series. We tell you all about it here.
📍 Terra Nera, 18 Rue des Pités Saint-Jacques, 75005 Paris
Emily’s maid’s room, place de l’Estrapade
This is one of the most striking images in the first episode of Emily in Paris! Our charming American arrives in Paris and discovers her maid’s room on the Place de l’Estrapade in the 5th arrondissement, right next to the Pantheon and the Sorbonne. Opening the window to her new Parisian home, Emily is overwhelmed by the view. It deserved a little selfie, didn’t it?
📍 1 place de l’Estrapade, 75005 Paris
The Palais Garnier
It was at the Café de Flore that Emily met Thomas, with whom she has an appointment at the Palais Garnier. She may realize what a cad he is this very evening, but that doesn’t mean she won’t enjoy the grandiose spectacle of the Palais Garnier in all its magnificence.
📍 Palais Garnier, Place de l’Opéra, 75009 Paris
Le Grand Véfour
In the 1st arrondissement of Paris, we find the legendary Le Grand Véfour restaurant, where Emily is doing her best to book a table. After getting the date wrong, if Emily and all her troupe end up at Les Deux Compères, let’s remember that Le Grand Véfour is Paris’ first Grand restaurant, a gourmet restaurant where excellence is the watchword.
📍 Le Grand Véfour, 17 Rue de Beaujolais, 75001 Paris
Fashion Week at La Monnaie de Paris
Emily in Paris features Pierre Cadault’s Fashion Week show at La Monnaie de Paris. We at Paris Secret literally loved the character of Pierre Cadault (pronounced Pierre Cadowwww!) Let’s pause it there.
📍 11 Quai de Conti, 75006 Paris
Bistrot Valois
Why look too far when there’s a little nugget right next door? Located right next to “Savoir” on the Place Valois, the Valois bistro is a great place to have lunch. Floral frontage, bistronomic dishes, large glass roof overlooking the square… We love it!
📍 1 Place de Valois, 75001 Paris
Restaurant Ralph’s Paris
In the 8th episode of Emily in Paris, Emily has lunch with Judith Robertson at Ralph’s, where she seems delighted to be back with American gastronomy. So much so, that she even Instagrams her neighbor’s cheeseburger. Emily, are you sure this equals “la pain au chocolat”?
📍 Ralph’s, 173 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris
Emily in Paris cult locations:the break-up scene in front of the Pantheon
If we may say so, Emily got over her break-up with her American boyfriend very (very) quickly (what a naughty girl Emily is!) And what better backdrop than the Pantheon for a break-up? A breakup with a Chanel bag, we have to say, is a classy touch!
📍 Place du Panthéon, 75005 Paris
Restaurant Le Flore en l’Ile
Located on the Ile-Saint-Louis and not far from Notre Dame de Paris, the Flore en l’Ile is an essential part of the Parisian landscape. A typically Parisian-looking restaurant/brasserie where Emily sits down with her colleague who just happened to be passing by on his scooter. (What a coincidence!)
📍 Le Flore en l’Ile, 42 Quai d’Orléans, 75004 Paris
Crêperie Lulu la Nantaise, Paris
And an embarrassing double date for Emily in Paris, one! With her furtive crush Thomas, Emily runs into Gabriel and Camille at Place de l’Estrapade, getting ready to go to a romantic restaurant. After a proposition from Camille, our four protagonists end up at the crêperie Lulu la Nantaise for a most awkward double date. But that didn’t stop us from going to Lulu la Nantaise, a charming crêperie near the Canal Saint-Martin!
📍 Lulu la Nantaise, 67 Rue de Lancry, 75010 Paris
Emily in Paris cult locations: Karaoke at Roxie’s
Throughout the episodes of Emily in Paris, we’ve followed Mindy’s journey, including her panic-stricken fear of going back on stage to sing. For a bachelorette party weekend, Mindy and her overexcited friends head to Roxie’s in Paris, where they make a big splash with their rendition of Sia’s “Chandelier”. Wild show, guitars, drums, singers, musical dinner show… Roxie is an unmissable Parisian party venue, all decked out in crimson, with the sweet scent of Prohibition…
📍 Roxie, 23 Rue de Ponthieu, 75008 Paris
