Where Was Emily In Paris Filmed?

Location 01

Place de l’Estrapade

Île-de-France, Paris Free to see

Filmed here: Emily's apartment building exterior and neighborhood scenes across all seasons

This square in the 5th arrondissement served as the exterior for Emily's apartment building and appears throughout the series for neighborhood scenes. Today it is a popular, public spot near the Panthéon, but it remains a residential area. Visitors can walk past the doorway and surrounding streets. Public access means no ticket is needed, though respectful behavior is expected. The location is central and easy to combine with nearby Saint-Germain or Jardin du Luxembourg.

Location 02

Place de Valois

Île-de-France, Paris Free to see

Filmed here: Savoir/Agence Grateau office exterior in Season 1 and later

A pedestrian square near Palais-Royal, this is the exterior used for the Savoir office, later Agence Grateau. Scenes show characters arriving for work throughout Season 1 and beyond. Visitors can enter the square freely as it is a public space. The area is quieter than major boulevards, with historic arcades nearby. No ticket is required. It is a short walk from the Louvre and Palais Royal gardens, making it an easy stop between larger sights.

Location 03

Pont Alexandre III

Île-de-France, Paris Free to see

Filmed here: Perfume commercial shoot scene in Season 1

The ornate bridge appears in a Season 1 perfume commercial shoot. It spans the Seine and offers open pedestrian access with views toward the Eiffel Tower and Grand Palais. Visitors can walk across at any time without a ticket. The gilded statues and lamps are often photographed, and the bridge links the Invalides area to the Champs-Élysées. It remains a public landmark rather than a controlled set.

Location 04

Jardin du Palais Royal

Île-de-France, Paris Free to see

Filmed here: Lunch scenes and meetings with Mindy in Season 1

These historic gardens were used for lunch scenes and meetings with Mindy in Season 1. Entry is free, and visitors can sit on the benches or walk among the tree-lined paths. The colonnaded arcades and striped columns sit just behind the garden, beside the Conseil d'État. It is a public green space near Place de Valois, so the two stops pair naturally. No timed ticket is needed for the garden itself.

Location 05

Palais Garnier

Île-de-France, Paris Ticketed

Filmed here: Opera house date and Swan Lake scene in Season 1

The opera house appears in a date scene and the Swan Lake sequence in Season 1. Unlike the open squares, entry is ticketed. Visitors can book guided tours or attend performances, and demand is steady, so planning ahead helps. The grand staircase and auditorium are part of the standard visitor route, but access depends on performance schedules. The building is a working opera house, not a film set.

Location 06

Musée d'Orsay

Île-de-France, Paris Ticketed

Filmed here: Date scenes with Gabriel and Camille

The museum appears in date scenes with Gabriel and Camille. It occupies a former railway station and holds major Impressionist collections. A standard ticket is required to enter the galleries. Visitors typically spend a few hours inside, but the scenes used public exhibition spaces. It is located on the Left Bank along the Seine, a short walk from the Tuileries and Pont Royal. No special filming access is offered.

Location 07

Gabriel's Restaurant (Terra Nera / Bistro)

Île-de-France, Paris Free to see

Filmed here: Restaurant exteriors opposite Emily's apartment

Real Italian bistro at 18 Rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques, opposite Emily's apartment location. It served as the exterior for Gabriel's restaurant across the series. Visitors can dine there like any guest, since it operates as a normal bistro. The address is on a residential corner steps from Place de l'Estrapade. Reservations are not mentioned in the filming notes, but standard restaurant practice applies. No ticket is needed to view the exterior.

Location 08

Château de Montpoupon

Centre-Val de Loire, Céré-la-Ronde Ticketed

Filmed here: Provence château scenes in Season 2

A historic castle in Céré-la-Ronde, Centre-Val de Loire, used for the Provence château scenes in Season 2. It is open to visitors with ticketed entry, and current hours should be checked before travel. The castle stands well outside Paris, so it requires a separate day trip or stop on a Loire Valley route. Exhibits include period interiors and a hunting museum. It is not a Paris site.
