The series made us want to hop on the next plane to Paris and explore all the picturesque streets and Parisian neighborhoods Emily Cooper visited, fueling our growing wanderlust since the time international travel was put on pause. Now that we're all finally able to fly over to the French capital in just a few clicks, here are a handful of dreamy Emily in Paris filming locations featured throughout the show that you can add to your Paris itinerary right now!

From charming boulangeries to a century-old opera house, these 12 filming spots will make you wish you were Emily in Paris.

Elegantly spanning the Seine and linking some of Paris's most popular spots, the Pont Alexandre III is widely regarded as Paris's most striking and grandiose bridge and one of the most beautiful river crossings in the world. In the show, the bridge forms one of the Emily in Paris locations and serves as the iconic backdrop for the controversial perfume ad, where the model walks down undressed while the gazes of a line of men in suits follow her as she goes.

We're definitely not the only ones who gasped when Emily appeared in this scene - everything from her dress to the set location was filled to the brim with elegance and beauty! 🤩

The spot where Thomas and Emily were supposed to watch the Swan Lake performance together is the dazzling Palais Garnier, one of the Emily In Paris filming locations and Paris's iconic 1,979-seat opera house. Be sure to add this to your checklist the next time you're in Paris, this masterpiece of the 19th century will blow you away.

This is definitely one of our favorite scenes in the series! The digital exhibition that Emily, Gabriel, and Camille visited in one of the Emily In Paris filming locations is the stunning L'Atelier des Lumières, a digital art space that presents classic pieces in immersive formats, just like the one we saw in the series featuring Vincent Von Gogh's Starry Night artwork. 🎨

Unfortunately, the exhibition changes from time to time and it isn't guaranteed that you would be able to watch the same Van Gogh exhibition. Tickets also get sold out pretty fast, so if you're unlucky in this location, you can check out some hop-on hop-off tours where you can easily get to a number of Emily in Paris locations! This Tootbus Paris Hop-On Hop-Off Tour has an Emily in Paris self-guided audio tour that you can easily access with their app.

One of the Emily In Paris filming locations that attracted multitudes of fans is the restaurant where Gabriel works at it. Though known as Les Deux Compères in the series, in reality, the restaurant is a charming little Italian bistro named Terra Nera.

Fun fact: the restaurant even rolled out a new dish in tribute to the show—fans who visit Terra Nera can dig into "Tagliata di manzo Emily," a sliced beef tenderloin served with arugula, cheese shavings, and vinegar sauce. 🤤 We hope it'll still be on the menu when we visit Paris!

But if you want to do more than just eat, how about learning to bake bread like the French? This French bread-making class will make you a Parisian baker in no time!

The little bakery where Emily bought a Pain au Chocolat that tasted too good to be true is Boulangerie Moderne by Thierry Rabineau, an artisanal bakery that serves up a variety of humble French pastries and fresh bread. 🥐

Interestingly, La Boulangerie Moderne from the Emily in Paris filming location is literally next door to Gabriel's Restaurant in real life! How about spending your lunch break at Terra Nera and then grabbing a pastry of your choice to go?

In the show, Mindy Chen introduces Emily to "the prettiest street in Paris" after a fun night out. This street looked pretty in the series but is even prettier in real life. We didn't catch a clear look in the series as the scene was filmed at night, but the street is extremely picturesque in the daylight.

Dotted with cute French buildings and ivy-covered homes while also paved with rustic cobblestones, Rue de l'Abreuvoir is picture-perfect and oh-so-charming. As one of the most popular cobblestone streets in Paris, it can get quite busy during the day. So, if you'd like to avoid the crowds, head over early in the morning or late at night, just like Lily Collins did! This way, you can truly appreciate this Emily In Paris filming location’s allure.

Emily's early morning routine included jogs along the perfectly landscaped paths of Jardin du Luxembourg (also known as Luxembourg Gardens in English). The 23-hectare park is filled with amazing gardens, sprawling lawns, tree-lined promenades, ponds, and even a picturesque fountain built in 1620. ⛲ Pack a picnic spread and head to this Emily in Paris location for a lovely afternoon out in the sun.

The Jardin Du Palais Royal, another one of the Emily in Paris filming locations, is the picturesque park where Emily and Mindy’s adorable friendship began.

The park offers a peaceful vibe and many sprawling spaces to sit, people-watch, and even have picnics—perfect for a double date if you're traveling with couples. Make sure you leave some breathing space in your travel itinerary to just head over, find a bench, and watch the day go by for a bit. Who knows? You might even find a romantic interest or a new friend like Emily did. 😉

But if you want to take in the sights that Paris has to offer, this French walking tour is definitely for you! Go at your own pace as you explore Paris and experience the Parisian lifestyle. Expect a day full of restaurants, cafes, markets, and art studios.

Known as one of the oldest coffeehouses in Paris, Café de Flore is famous for being the 'hangout spot' of high-profile writers, artists, and philosophers in the past. Their famous clientele included Pablo Picasso, Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, and Ernest Hemingway.

Situated at the corner of Boulevard Saint-Germain, this Emily In Paris filming location is where Emily finds her intellectual love interest, Thomas. 📚 Pop by for a cup of coffee, a flute of champagne, or a croissant and people-watch from a seat by the sidewalk!

Remember the Michelin-starred restaurant that Emily tried to make a dinner reservation for? 🍽️ Le Grand Véfour is one of the oldest and most distinguished restaurants in Paris and an Emily In Paris filming location that will leave you in awe! With two proud Michelin stars, a sophisticated menu, and an impressive interior, Le Grand Véfour is definitely very grand.

We're not sure whether it's really that hard to make a reservation like shown in the series, but you can try doing so on the restaurant's official website if you're up for a fancy dinner when in Paris!

You may have missed this Emily in Paris filming location in the series due to all the emotions of the scene, but Emily ends her relationship with her boyfriend back in America in front of The Panthéon, a historical structure built in 1758.

The building is the resting place of some of France's most notable figures, and you can explore its history with skip-the-line tickets available on Klook. 🎫 You can also book a Paris Museum Pass and enjoy access to over 50 museums and attractions in and around Paris, including entry to The Panthéon! Psst, you may want to bookmark this for your next trip.

It may not be Emily's apartment, but if you've got cash to spare, like movie star Brooklyn, you can book a stay at this luxury hotel in Paris. 💸 The exact room Brooklyn stayed in is the Haute Couture Eiffel Suite, well-known for offering incredible views of the Eiffel Tower from its wide windows and balcony.

Located on the prestigious avenue Montaigne, you're definitely in for a glamorous stay at Hôtel Plaza Athénée. So, if you’re looking to immerse yourself in a world of sophistication and enjoy magnificent views, this Emily in Paris location is an excellent choice.

Even if you haven't watched the series yet, it is clear from this list alone that Emily definitely had a blast in Paris. And guess what? You can, too! But don't worry, it won't require you to join a French marketing firm like she did.
