If you are a fan of fashion and travel, and a true lady, then you certainly cannot take your eyes off the beautiful Paris scenes appearing in the movie.Emily in Paris. This is the latest work from the writer of the once-popular TV series.Sex and the City.
In the film, viewers follow the fashionable Emily on her journey to explore the glamorous Paris when she moves to work at a PR company in this city. The film once again captivates the audience with its beautiful French setting and costumes and a series of famous actors.
Place de l'Estrapade, 5th Arrondissement
This is the first place Emily stops when arriving in Paris. Her apartment address is right near Place de l'Estrapade in the 5th arrondissement, on the left bank of the Seine. From her apartment, you just need to "open the window and see the Eiffel Tower". It is the dream room of many French tourists, of course, renting it is not easy.
This square was created in the most Latin part of Paris in 1885, after the demolition of the Boucherie Bridge. In the overall design, the Place de l'Estrapade is cut through by a small stream; connecting the Cathedral Square and Little Venice. At the center of the square is a Vosges sandstone fountain, with a statue of Schwendi created by Auguste Bartholdi in 1898.
Another “specialty” of Paris is Emily’s neighbor, Gabriel, who lives right below her apartment. In the movie, Emily once had to use Gabriel’s bathroom when her faucet broke and the repairman couldn’t replace it right away because her apartment’s plumbing system was too old.
Place de Valois Square, District 1
On her way to her office in District 1, Emily passed by Place de Valois, a beautiful Parisian sight that not everyone notices.
This is the oldest square in Paris in the city center, completely separate from the bustling world outside with a park covered with trees and houses from the 17th century.
Pont des Arts Bridge
Tourists in Paris know this bridge as the “love lock bridge” rather than its original name, Pont des Arts. In fact, this was the first iron bridge in Paris, built in 1800 with a 9-span design.
The reason the bridge is called “love lock bridge” is because this is the place that witnessed the love of thousands of couples, the witness of the promises of lovers placed on the locks attached to the bridge. However, currently the locks have been removed to protect the structure of the bridge.
In the movie, Emily stood at this bridge to call her boyfriend, who was in Chicago at the time and would come visit Emily soon with his newly obtained passport.
Boulangerie Moderne Rabineau Bakery, District 5
Not only famous for its architecture, art and fashion, Paris is also the mecca of baguettes, so it is not surprising that this famous bakery appears in the movie. Not only is the bread delicious, but the outdoor space here is also worth enjoying, which is why it is included in the list of famous beautiful Parisian scenes.
This is a long-standing homemade bakery in Paris, which sells “magical” sweets, especially a cake called Pain Au Chocolat - a cousin of the croissant - which is the shop's bestseller.
Emily cut short her morning jog to stop by Boulangerie Moderne Rabineau, a charming French woman who also appears in the series.
Royal Palais Gardens
Jardin du Palais Royal - the flower garden of the Royal Palace, located next to the Louvre Museum, is a beautiful Parisian sight that any tourist must visit and check-in. This is where Emily met Mindy, who later became her best friend in Paris.
Sitting on a bench in the garden, the two girls' conversation then began with an American girl like Emily living and working in Paris with a lot of the most boring things about a true French person.
The garden, surrounded by many large old trees, is also a favorite of many visitors. True Parisians often stop on the benches under the trees to read a book or simply relax and admire the fountain in the center of the garden after a tour of the palace.
Île Saint-Louis Restaurant
One of the most recognizable Parisian locations in the film is a small island of two natural islands that rise up in the middle of the Seine River, one of which overlooks Notre Dame Cathedral.
In the film, while Emily is enjoying an Aperol Spritz, her co-worker Luc passes by and stops to chat with her about the “American style” that Emily stubbornly brought with her to France.
Luxembourg Gardens
Although it is called a garden, Luxembourg is actually a park, and one of the most beautiful parks in Paris, bearing the Italian style. Visitors will not be able to miss this beautiful Parisian scene during their visit.
The garden is most beautiful in the summer, when you can rent some cute little toy boats and float them on the fountain pond or lie down and read a book in the garden. Or imagine those autumn mornings, you plug in your headphones to listen to your favorite music while jogging under the yellow-leafed trees in Luxembourg, what could be more wonderful? That is also Emily's favorite morning activity in the movie.
This famous landmark in Paris covers an area of up to 25 hectares, with many miniatures such as a fountain, a large lake and a gazebo, which is a summer picnic spot for local people.
Trocadéro Square, 16th Arrondissement
Located on top of Chaillot hill in the 16th arrondissement is Trocadéro square, this beautiful Parisian sight is one of the best places to see the Eiffel Tower.
Located in the city's most luxurious neighborhood, from Trocadéro square, visitors can easily move to Palais de Chaillot to visit the Museum of Man and the Maritime Museum.
This is also the location of a lavish party for a client of the company Emily is in charge of. This party is for a high-end perfume client whose brand Emily is promoting. Although the interior of the building is usually closed to visitors, the film captures the glittering Eiffel Tower in the distance while the perfume boss tries to flirt with Emily at the party. The lavishness of the party combined with the glitter of the square makes it impossible for visitors to take their eyes off.
Terra Nera Restaurant, District 5
Located right next to Emily’s apartment, Terra Nera restaurant appears in episode 2 when Emily and Mindy are gossiping about the various reasons that brought them to Paris. In the show, the restaurant is renamed “Les Deux Compères”.
This is a mid-range restaurant, which is actually quite well-reviewed. One surprise the movie brings is the detail when Emily tried to return the steak that was not as well-done as she wanted and was refused by the restaurant's chef. The chef came out, none other than the cute neighbor from Normandy, Gabriel.
Place du Panthéon, District 5
In the film, Emily was standing right in front of Place du Panthéon when she received a breakup call from her boyfriend in Chicago.
Elysee Palace
A beautiful sight in Paris that tourists cannot miss on their tour of France is the Élysée Palace. This is the official residence of the French President and is only open to visitors on European Union Heritage Days.
This palace has a special structure with a main building and two wing buildings on an area of over 1,500 m2. The special feature of the Élysée Palace is the surrounding garden of 1.5 hectares with hundreds of ancient trees, such as the 40m-high ancient plane tree planted before the French Bourgeois Revolution of 1789.
The Élysée Palace appears in the film in the scene where First Lady Brigitte Macron discovers Emily's latest marketing campaign.
Pont Alexandre III Bridge
Among the beautiful sights of Paris, this is perhaps the most beautiful place, the most beautiful bridge in the world in terms of architecture and location. Pont Alexandre III is located next to the Champs-Élysées and crosses the poetic Seine River.
Almost every tourist who visits Paris has at least one photo taken at this bridge. And even if you have never been to Paris, you can easily see the image of Pont Alexandre III in books, photos, and magazines. It is the symbol of the beauty of the magnificent Paris.
Because of its poetic beauty, this place became the setting for the perfume advertising campaign in episode 3 of the movie Emily in Paris.
Le Grand Véfour Restaurant
Le Grand Véfour restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Paris. No need to waitEmily in Paris, this restaurant has appeared in countless previous films, such as the movieMidnight in Paris.
The consistent neoclassical décor of this restaurant is a highlight for architecture and food lovers. Not only that, this restaurant has won three Michelin stars (lost one in 2008) and it is considered a “historic citadel of French cuisine”.
In the film, Sylvia, the boss, challenges Emily to book a table for 6 people quickly. As expected, with such a great reputation, booking a table just a few hours in advance is impossible, so Emily and her colleagues have to go to Terra Nera restaurant where Gabriel is the head chef. However, if you have time to spare and want to invest in a quality dinner, Le Grand Véfour is a restaurant not to be missed. The restaurant has existed since the 18th century with a space covered in red carpets, gold leaf in the dishes, and of course, the famous French foie gras.
Paris Opera House
One of the most memorable locations in the film is the Paris Opera House, where Emily decides to attend a performance of Swan Lake in an attempt to attract the attention of a major client. She arrives at the performance in a glamorous black dress and elegant high heels, looking like a regal princess walking up the stairs of her own magnificent palace.
