Emily in Paris: The Instagram-worthy spots you can recreate

British tourists heading to France this festive season are retracing the footsteps of a Netflix character in a new social media craze.

The success of Netflix show Emily in Paris has sparked a new trend as tourists visit the locations featured in the programme and recreate their own Instagram posts.

Now photo experts from ParrotPrint.com have revealed six of the most stunning locations featured in the hit show and told tourists how they can walk in Emily’s famous footsteps.

Emily in Paris follows Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins, a twenty-something American girl who starts a new life in Paris after transferring for work.

She starts an Instagram account to document her time in the French capital and becomes a successful social media influencer, and now fans of the show can visit Paris for themselves to follow Emily’s footsteps.

From a 13th century castle in the French countryside to the iconic Sacré-Cœur in the heart of Paris, there are lots of spots all over where visitors can explore and recreate some of her best Instagram snaps on the show.

The Netflix show also features beautiful Parisian architecture along the Place de l’Estrapade and the majestic historical fairground museum where fans can also explore and post their own Instagram pictures.

Matt Dahan from ParrotPrint said: “Netflix’s hit series, Emily in Paris, has highlighted the beauty of the French capital and has encouraged fans to explore Paris as one of the most Instagram-worthy cities in the world.

“Fans of the show can now follow in Emily’s footsteps as they wander around Paris to visit the same destinations she captures on her Instagram for themselves.

“No trip to France is complete without some buttery pastries – and tourists can visit the very bakery Emily frequents in the series. It’s opposite her apartment in the Place de l’Estrapade, an attractive street which Emily often captures on her Instagram feed.

“Historic attractions also feature in the show, like the 13th century castle, now a winery, in the heart of the French countryside, as well as the famous Sacré-Cœur in the capital city.

“Emily in Paris fans can now explore these spots across Paris and recreate their own Emily Cooper style Instagram feed with beautiful locations all over the French capital to visit.”

1. Place de l’Estrapade
After arriving in Paris, Emily uploads her first Instagram post – a selfie in her new apartment with the view out the window. Captioning it #roomwithaview the pretty street below, Place de l’Estrapade is where Emily lives. Charming buildings line the square with gorgeous architecture, fountain features and greenery for fans of the show to watch the world go by at Emily’s Parisian home.

2. Palais Royal
The Palais Royal gardens is where Emily first meets her new best friend, Mindy. She uploads a picture of the two children Mindy is nannying playing in the gardens. This former royal palace has its gardens open for the public all year round. The Palais Royal is a peaceful escape in the heart of the French capital featuring over 500 trees and thousands of pretty, colourful flowers.

3. Boulangerie Moderne Bakery
With her Instagram followers now steadily racking up, Emily snaps a pic with the owner of Boulangerie Moderne, the bakery she regularly buys delicious Parisian pastries from. Just over the road from her apartment, the bakery exists in real life and is a popular tourist hotspot for yummy bakes and fresh breads. Right across the street is also Gabriel’s restaurant – the Terra Nera Italian restaurant in real life also hosts Emily in Paris fans regularly.

4. The Sacré-Cœur
Emily and Mindy enjoy a night out visiting spots across the Montmartre area of Paris. Definitely one of the most Instagrammable neighbourhoods in the city, pretty Parisian architecture and delicious restaurants line the streets. Fans of the show can eat at La Maison Rose and visit the Sacré-Cœur too, just like Emily and Mindy do. This second most popular tourist destination in Paris is well worth a visit – the Sacré-Cœur is a magnificent looking church and is free to look around.

5. Les Pavillons de Bercy
The fairground museum features on Emily’s Instagram stories as herself and friends having a party night out. By day it’s a majestic museum showing off to the public historic and restored fairground rides and attractions. In the evening, the space can be hired out for events, just like in Emily in Paris. The series of rooms invites visitors to learn about the 19th century French circus and fairgrounds and marvel at the glamorous-looking historic attractions.

6. La Château de Sonnay
A three hour drive from Paris, Champagne is the filming location for Emily’s marketing campaign for Champère Champagne. She snaps plenty of Instagram photos whilst staying in Camille’s mansion in the French countryside. This stunning mansion is actually a historic castle from the 13th century, and now operates as a winery. Fans of the show can enjoy a tour of the ground and wine cellar, as well as wandering around the beautiful Champagne region.
