Emily in Paris Tour
Emily in Paris, the Golden Globe-nominated series, is now for real! Come and discover Paris with the eyes and in the footsteps of Emily Cooper, the young American fascinated with the French capital. We will walk through the cult places of the series, from the charming Place de l’Estrapade, in the famous Latin Quarter where the tiny “chambre de bonne” of Emily is located, to the gardens of the Palais Royal, making a stop at her marketing agency’s address.
Each step of this initiatory journey will allow us to revisit the great moments of the scenes lived by Emily: her office at the social media agency Savoir, the famous “Pâtisserie Moderne” where she buys everyday her "Pain au chocolat”, the restaurant of the handsome Gabriel and so on. The itinerary is a remarkable best of architectural gems in the heart of Paris. (Meet at Place de la Contrescarpe, 5th arrondissement)
12h00-15h00: LUNCH IN A PARISIAN RESTAURANT
15h00-18h00: A guided visit of Pigalle: Representations of Pigalle, from fiction to reality - the sexualized district of Paris By Allison Strickland (EIREST, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne)
Meet at Place Blanche. As we traverse through the streets of this storied neighborhood, we'll explore its portrayal in literature, film, and art, delving into the dichotomy between its romanticized depictions and the gritty realities of its reputation as a hub of sensuality and vice. Pigalle's allure has long fascinated writers, filmmakers, and artists, serving as a canvas upon which to project fantasies and unravel societal taboos. Join us on this journey as we peel back the layers of Pigalle's mythology, uncovering the truth behind its seductive facade and shedding light on the complex interplay between imagination and reality in one of Paris's most intriguing districts.
(The visit fee includes one morning visit, the lunch, and the afternoon visit)
