Where the Heck is Emily Now?
Emily in Paris has done it again, with their fifth season releasing on the 18th of December worldwide. The first few episodes find our star in Rome, as opposed to her usual Parisian backdrop—but worry not, she returns to the City of Lights halfway through the season. For this article, we visited our favorite spots from the new season to present them to you.
Episode 5 - Bonjour Paris!
Emily Neighborhood’s square - 0:15
The one and only Parisian square that we all know since season one is back once again in season 5. This quaint Parisian square with a small fountain surrounded by trees and well-maintained bushes is walked through daily by the stars of the show, as it happens to be right outside of her apartment’s building.

L’Esprit de Gigi - 16:20
📍18 Rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques
In the show, this restaurant serves as a familiar setting, with Emily’s friend and downstairs neighbor Gabriel at its head. Like in the show, it sits just across the Place de l’Estrapade, a few steps from Emily’s apartment. In real life, the restaurant looks quite alike, though instead of L’esprit de Gigi, the restaurant is called Terra Nera, offering Italian cuisine.

Episode 9 - La Belle Epoque
Stroll with Luc in Montmartre - 8:30
Here, Emily is taking a walk with Luc in Montmartre, in the square Emile Goudeau. It was after Émile Goudeau (1849–1906), a poet and founder of the Hydropathes, an early literary club that prefigured the Montmartre cabaret movement.

Luc presents the Bateau Lavoir - 9:00
The Bateau-Lavoir (laundry-boat) was a former piano factory turned into cheap, makeshift studios that became one of the most influential artistic hubs in early 20th-century Paris, nurturing a generation of radical artists and writers. Its name comes from its creaky resemblance to Seine laundry boats. As Luc said “Matisse, Cocteau, Modigliani, they all gathered here.”
If you want a deep dive into the rich history of Montmartre and all the artists who emerged from it, book our tour here!
