• Netflix has called on professional guides to offer a tour of Paris that combines history and filming locations from

    Lupin

    and

    Emily in Paris

    .

  • Jardin du Luxembourg, Place de l'Estrapade, Panthéon, Louvre and many other emblematic sites reveal themselves to visitors in a whole new light.

  • Netflix's initiative is free… and fun.

In the footsteps of Omar Sy or Lily Collins in Paris.

Or if you prefer Assane Diop and Emily Cooper.

Until Sunday, Netflix offers a tour of the iconic filming locations of its hit series in the capital

Lupin

and

Emily in Paris

.

“We realized that fans tended to come and visit the cities of their favorite series,” explains the streaming platform.

So she called on professional guides, capable of mixing French culture and Netflix myth.

After the original experiences of the

Stranger Things

festival or its pop-up store, a free tour of Paris in three languages ​​(French, English and Spanish) is offered.

“What we want is to please our fans.

François is the guide of this stroll in the decor of

Lupin

and

Emily in Paris.

With his background in arts and history, he admits it from the start: “I'm going to draw dubious parallels with the series to talk to you about Paris.

He didn't lie.

First stop: Medici Fountain in Luxembourg Park.

Place in front of which Emily passes, who will experience a “love” triangle like the one represented between Acis, Galatea and Polyphemus.

Yes, the parallel is doubtful.

All you have to do is turn around so that the garden stretches out in front of you, a symbolic place in the

Lupin

series where Omar Sy, disguised as a delivery man on a bicycle, escapes after a chase.

"I discovered the trick on Instagram, and a friend told me about it," says Sarah, on her way to the second stage.

The 21-year-old Brazilian "loves both series", and takes advantage of her three weeks in Paris to discover the capital and its filming secrets.

François does not hesitate to stop, even when the series do not invite him to do so, to explain certain architectural details or unusual anecdotes about the history of Paris.

“As a Parisian, I learned a lot of things,” confides Audrey.

A few minutes walk, and here we are, place de l'Estrapade.

The site, which until then had been jealously guarded by the inhabitants of the 5th arrondissement, has become a must for fans of

Emily in Paris

.

The bakery, the Italian restaurant, the florist (which is actually a Brazilian library), each corner of the square echoes the adventure of the American.

A hundred meters further, the group stops at the Pantheon.

Site of a crucial scene in the series, the building is above all an essential place of history in the capital.

The church transformed into a mausoleum of the Republic is an opportunity for our guide to take a tour of the great female figures who rest there.

Then towards Le Champo.

On the road to independent arthouse cinema stand La Sorbonne, its chapel, or the Abbey of Cluny, which François does not fail to praise.

The cinema, a moment of respite in Emily's story, is also for visitors who can enjoy the shade.

The Louvre, final bouquet of the visit

Before joining the Louvre Palace, François takes his group for a stroll along the banks of the Seine.

The quays are rich in filming anecdotes.

On the Pont Neuf, he even offers participants a Polaroid photo copying that of Emily, at the end of season 2. Seen on the Notre-Dame cathedral, the guide slips that soon, it will no longer be two, but three series which will put the capital in the spotlight.

After the photo session, we cross the Cour Carrée to discover the Cour Napoléon.

Opposite stands the famous pyramid, which gives off a special flavor for

Lupine

fans .

Emily

's audience

is not left out, as the Louvre Palace is a stone's throw from the heroine's workplace.

The tour ends in front of the “Savoir” fashion agency.

“It's a good opportunity to see Paris from a new angle,” says Martin.

The mix of pop culture and history is successful!
