Overview

This self-guided walking tour uses Emily in Paris, yes, Netflix's massive hit series, as our ultimate backstage pass into the real city. We are talking the deep history behind the buildings Emily walks past, the gorgeous neighborhoods that shaped the show's look, and the incredible stories hidden in these streets. Seriously, Paris is going to look so familiar, you'll feel like you've been here for years! I'm Mathilde Leroy. I was born in Nantes, but I spent most of my twenties right here in Paris working as an architect, so the buildings here, they are what I know best. And I've packed this tour with the absolute best mix of filming secrets, deep history, and a real taste of the Parisian lifestyle. Our route kicks off right at the Place de l'Estrapade in the Latin Quarter, Emily's fictional home. From there, we'll head southwest through the stunning Luxembourg Gardens, turn toward Saint-Germain, cross the beautiful River Seine, and wrap things up at the iconic Palais-Royal. Check out some of our key stops: • First, the Panthéon, where Emily dramatically ends things with Doug over the phone. • Next, the Jardin du Luxembourg, commissioned by an Italian queen who was totally homesick for Florence, and the exact spot where Emily goes for her jogs. • Then, Café de Flore, where Emily meets the charming Professor Thomas. • Plus, the Monnaie de Paris. That's the Paris Mint, operating since, get this, 864 AD! It's also the location of Pierre Cadault's legendary, guerrilla fashion show comeback. • And finally, Pont Neuf, the absolute oldest standing bridge in Paris, and Emily's ultimate go-to spot whenever life gets complicated enough to require dramatic river views. If you love the show, this tour fills in everything you need to know behind the best spots of the series. You are going to discover: • Why the chambre de bonne Emily lives in would cost a total fortune in real life. • What Gabriel's restaurant actually looks like when it's not dressed up as a French bistro. • And what really happened at La Samaritaine before Petra's wild shoplifting spree. So many of these locations have completely embraced their new fanbase. The shopkeepers, the bakers, the café owners, they love it. Just remember, a quick 'bonjour' goes a long, long way. Emily eventually worked that out, and you can too. And the best part? This audio tour works completely at your pace. Pause for a quick espresso at Café de la Nouvelle Mairie, relax in the Luxembourg Gardens, or stop for world-class macarons at Ladurée. There is no group, no guide waiting at the corner, and absolutely no fixed schedule. Just hit resume whenever you are ready. Quick tip: morning is the absolute best time to start, especially on weekdays. That's when the Latin Quarter is nice and quiet, and the morning light hitting that gorgeous Haussmannian stone is just perfect before the midday crowds roll in. 👉 Now, a few important ticket tips before we go. Going inside any of these attractions is totally up to you. The Panthéon requires a ticket, but you don't need to book it ahead of time. The Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the Musée Delacroix both need tickets, so definitely check those online during peak season. La Samaritaine is completely free to enter and explore. The Jardin du Luxembourg and Palais-Royal gardens are also free and open every single day. Oh, and Le Grand Véfour? You will definitely need a reservation well in advance if you plan to dine there. Alright, are you ready?
