The Emily in Paris locations are all in Paris, and you can see 4 of the main ones on foot in 3 to 4 hours: the apartment building on Place de l’Estrapade (5th arrondissement), the Palais-Royal, the Pont Alexandre III and Café de Flore. The Palais-Royal and the bridge are free; Emily’s building is a residence, so you look from outside. Café de l’Homme, with its view of the Eiffel Tower, requires a reservation.

Where was Emily in Paris filmed, and are the locations real?
They are real: the series uses Paris streets, squares, cafés and monuments, starting with Place de l’Estrapade, in the 5th arrondissement, where Emily’s building stands, and many of the settings can be visited without a ticket. What changes is the geography, since the series jumps from neighbourhood to neighbourhood without caring about distance.

Here the locations are grouped by proximity, with address, metro and what is open to the public. Keep in mind that the series shows an edited Paris: the exterior scenes are real places, but the interiors of several settings (the Savoir office, the apartments) do not exist for visitors.
If your trip is only a few days long, fit the locations into a bigger plan: the first-trip France itinerary shows where Paris fits in, and the Eiffel Tower guide helps you combine it with the Trocadéro, which also appears in the series.
Where is Emily’s apartment, and can you go inside?
The apartment is at 1 Place de l’Estrapade, in the 5th arrondissement, a few steps from the Panthéon; it is a residential building with no visits, so you only see the facade and the square. The square has a fountain, trees and cafés, and is one of the quietest corners of the Latin Quarter.
Arrive by metro at Cardinal Lemoine (line 10) or Place Monge (line 7) and walk up rue Mouffetard or rue Lhomond. Before taking your photo, remember that real residents live there: don’t block the door and keep your voice down, especially at night. The Panthéon ticket, just a few steps away, gets you inside on the same outing. In the series, the apartment is on the top floor, in a maid’s room (chambre de bonne), with a number that does not exist in French floor numbering, a joke in the script.
Which locations can you actually visit?
Almost everything is open to the public: only Emily’s apartment and the Savoir building, on Place de Valois, can be seen from outside only. The table shows the address, metro and what you can enter at each place, as of Nov 2026.
| Location | Address and metro | Can you go in? |
|---|---|---|
| Palais-Royal and Buren’s Columns | 8 rue de Montpensier, 1st; metro Palais Royal (lines 1 and 7) | Yes, free, 8 am to 8:30 pm (October to March) |
| Place de Valois (Savoir office) | Place de Valois, 1st; 2 min from the Palais-Royal | Outside only; the building holds offices |
| Le Grand Véfour | 17 rue de Beaujolais, 1st; in the Palais-Royal garden | Yes, as a restaurant, by reservation |
| Place Vendôme | 1st; metro Tuileries (line 1) or Opéra (3, 7 and 8) | Open square; the hotels and shops have their own rules |
| Pont Alexandre III | Between Invalides and the Champs-Élysées; metro Invalides (8 and 13) | Yes, free, at any time |
| Café de l’Homme and Musée de l’Homme | 17 place du Trocadéro, 16th; metro Trocadéro (6 and 9) | Yes, with a restaurant reservation |
| Café de Flore | 172 boulevard Saint-Germain, 6th; metro Saint-Germain-des-Prés (4) | Yes, no reservation |
| Palais Garnier | Place de l’Opéra, 9th; metro Opéra (3, 7 and 8) | Yes, with an online ticket |
| La Maison Rose | 2 rue de l’Abreuvoir, 18th; metro Lamarck-Caulaincourt (12) | Yes, as a café-restaurant |
| Atelier des Lumières | 38 rue Saint-Maur, 11th; metro Rue Saint-Maur (3) or Voltaire (9) | Yes, with a ticket (immersive exhibition) |
The Palais-Royal deserves more time than the photos suggest: the garden is free and open every day, and the Domaine national du Palais-Royal publishes opening hours of 8 am to 8:30 pm from October 1 to March 31. Daniel Buren’s striped columns, in the courtyard, are the most requested photo spot.
In the series, the garden is where Emily meets her friend Mindy; Le Grand Véfour, the historic restaurant under the arcades, appears in the episode about the mixed-up reservation. To see both sides of the Louvre in the same morning, check the ticket prices in Paris before deciding whether to go into any museum.
Where are Gabriel’s restaurant and the cafés from the series?
Gabriel’s restaurant is Terra Nera, a genuine Italian at number 18 rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques, a few steps from the apartment. The bakery where Emily tries her first pain au chocolat is the Boulangerie Moderne, on the same street, and the café Nouvelle Mairie is right across from it.
For the café that looks like the series, Café de Flore (172 boulevard Saint-Germain) is the easiest: it opens every day, 7:30 am to 1:30 am, takes no reservations and charged €5.50 for an espresso and €7.00 for a café crème in Nov 2026, according to the café’s official menu. In the series, it is where Emily meets a professor who explains the rivalry with Les Deux Magots, a few metres away.
In Montmartre, the pink house that appears in Emily and Mindy’s dinner is La Maison Rose, on the corner of rue de l’Abreuvoir and rue des Saules (2 rue de l’Abreuvoir). The café has been running since 1909, according to Bonjour Paris, and the painter Maurice Utrillo depicted it in 1916. The outdoor mattress scene was filmed further along the same street, with the Sacré-Cœur in the background.
For the Eiffel Tower view that opens the series, Café de l’Homme, on the terrace of the Musée de l’Homme, is the setting of the perfume party; a terrace table with a reservation costs from €60 per person (includes a glass of champagne, no meal; official website, Nov 2026). If you only want the photo of the Tower, you can go to the Trocadéro for free: see also Paris viewpoints, free and paid.
What is the best half-day walking route?
The best half-day route is the Left Bank one, about 2.5 km: Place de l’Estrapade, Panthéon, Jardin du Luxembourg and Café de Flore. If you prefer fashionable, palatial Paris, take the central route, about 3 km, from the Palais-Royal to the Pont Alexandre III. Approximate distances, on the map.
| Route | Stops, in order | Time and effort |
|---|---|---|
| Left Bank (Latin Quarter) | Place de l’Estrapade, rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques (Terra Nera, bakery), Panthéon from outside, Jardin du Luxembourg, Café de Flore | 3 hours, with a coffee; flat terrain; best for those staying with Emily at home |
| Centre (1st arrondissement) | Palais-Royal and Colonnes de Buren, Place de Valois, Place Vendôme, Tuileries garden, Pont Alexandre III | 3 to 4 hours; more touristy; ends at sunset on the bridge |
| Just the essentials (2 hours) | Palais-Royal, Pont Alexandre III, Café de Flore | Use the metro between stops |
Start early: the Palais-Royal opens at 8 am and the garden is still empty, and Café de Flore fills up at lunchtime. If you are building a full day, our guide on where to stay in Paris shows which neighbourhoods put these stops a few minutes away.
If you prefer a guided walk, you can book a free walking tour of Paris, in English.
What is a facade, and what doesn’t exist as in the series?
Three things in the series do not exist as shown: the Savoir office, Camille’s family château and the restaurant Les Deux Compères. Savoir is a real office address on Place de Valois, with no visits; the “Champagne” château was filmed at the Château de Sonnay, in the Loire region near Chinon, not in Champagne; and the restaurant is, in real life, Terra Nera, with a different name over the door.
- The apartment number. The series puts Emily on the “fifth floor” of a building that the French would count as the sixth or seventh floor: the number, 501, does not exist in French numbering.
- The distances. In the series, Emily walks from Place de l’Estrapade to Montmartre in minutes; on the map, it is more than 5 km. Use the metro.
- The parties. The perfume party and the fashion show are production events, not open to the public; only the venue (Café de l’Homme, Pont Alexandre III) can be visited.
How much does it cost to visit the locations?
In torreeiffel.com.br’s Nov 2026 survey, almost everything is free or costs the price of a coffee: what weighs on the budget are the Palais Garnier, at €25 for an adult from outside the European Economic Area (Opéra de Paris, 2026), and the Musée de l’Homme, at €12 to €15 (official website). The Café de l’Homme terrace starts at €60 per person.
| Item | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Palais-Royal and garden | Free | Domaine national du Palais-Royal |
| Pont Alexandre III, Place Vendôme, Estrapade | Free (streets and bridges) | – |
| Espresso / café crème at Café de Flore | €5.50 / €7.00 (Nov 2026) | Café de Flore official menu |
| Palais Garnier (adult, non-EEA) | €25 (Nov 2026) | Opéra de Paris |
| Musée de l’Homme | €12 to €15 (Nov 2026) | Museum website |
| Café de l’Homme terrace | From €60 per person, no meal (Nov 2026) | Restaurant website |
A café crème at the Flore plus a visit to the Garnier add up to €32 per person in Nov 2026, not counting the metro. If you plan to enter several museums, compare with the Paris Museum Pass. The Atelier des Lumières has its own programme; see the ticket and the current exhibition on the official website.
For the Garnier, book your ticket online for a set time slot, because tickets are not sold at the door.
Three precautions save you a headache on the day:
- Take your photo without disturbing anyone. Emily’s building is a residence: don’t ring the bell and don’t enter the hall.
- Le Grand Véfour is not a snack bar. It is a starred restaurant; book ahead and check the menu on the official website.
- Café de Flore, no reservations. Arrive before 10 am or after 3 pm to get a table.
Where to stay near the locations?
Stay in the Latin Quarter (5th) if you want to sleep a few steps from the series’ apartment and the Panthéon; the 1st arrondissement is the best base for the central route, but pricier. The Left Bank has smaller hotels and restaurants within walking distance, and the metro links the two sides in 15 to 20 minutes.
To compare prices and see what is still available on your dates, see hotels in the Latin Quarter on Booking. If your budget is tight, our guide to cheap hotels in Paris shows price ranges per night.
Frequently asked questions
Was Emily in Paris really filmed in Paris?
Emily in Paris was filmed in Paris, with exterior scenes at real places such as the Palais-Royal, the Pont Alexandre III and Café de Flore. Some scenes, like Camille’s château, use settings outside the capital, in the Loire Valley.
What is the address of Emily’s apartment in Paris?
Emily’s apartment in Paris is at number 1 Place de l’Estrapade, in the 5th arrondissement, near the Panthéon. It is a residential building, so you can only see the facade.
Does Gabriel’s restaurant exist?
Gabriel’s restaurant exists as Terra Nera, an Italian at number 18 rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. In the series, it appears under another name, Les Deux Compères.
Can you enter Café de l’Homme without a reservation?
Café de l’Homme, at the Trocadéro, works on online reservations, especially for the terrace with a view of the Eiffel Tower, which starts at €60 per person in Nov 2026. For the view without paying, go to the Trocadéro itself.
Which metro should you take to see the Emily in Paris locations?
For the central Paris route, get off at Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre (lines 1 and 7) and finish at Invalides (lines 8 and 13). For the Left Bank, use Cardinal Lemoine (line 10) and Saint-Germain-des-Prés (line 4).
Conclusion
If you only have half a day, do the Left Bank route: Estrapade in the morning, Luxembourg and a coffee at the Flore, unhurried and for a few euros. If you already know Paris and want the classic photos, go to the Palais-Royal at opening time and finish at the Pont Alexandre III. Book only Café de l’Homme and the Palais Garnier.
