Paris: Emily in Paris Walking Tour UPDATED + Photos

Emily in Paris, but make it real Paris. This walking tour strings together Season 5 filming stops with classic Paris sights, guided in English or Spanish by Elena Valtierra Fouz. I like that it is a small group format, so the route stays friendly and you actually have time to look closely.

Two things I especially like: first, the guide helps you connect what you see on the street to what you remember on screen, using pictures and quick questions so the scenes click faster. Second, you get more than show-only spots, with stops around the Jardin du Luxembourg, Pont des Arts, and the Louvre esplanade that feel like Paris even if you are only half a fan.

One consideration: it is a 150-minute walk, and it is not set up for mobility impairments or wheelchair users. Comfortable shoes matter, and you should plan for uneven sidewalks and lots of standing in popular areas.

Quick take before you book

• Season 5 updates include new filming locations tied to the latest episodes.
• Small group up to 10 keeps the pace human and the guide more interactive.
• Cinematic route mixes Emily locations with landmark stops like Luxembourg Gardens and Pont des Arts.
• Professional portrait photo shot with a Sony Alpha camera, edited and sent to your email.
• Clear start and finish points in central Paris, ending near Place de Valois.
• Guide looks easy to spot, wearing a red beret and an ID badge at the meeting point.

Starting at 19 bis Pl. du Panthéon: the Emily-to-Paris warmup

The tour begins in the Latin Quarter area, at 19 bis Pl. du Panthéon, with the meeting point in front of Hôtel Les Dames du Panthéon. This is a smart choice if you want your Paris day to start with atmosphere right away, not just a long transit to get to the “cool stuff.”

I like that the first stretch sets you up to recognize places quickly. The guide does not just point and move on. You get time for a photo stop and guided look at how the buildings and streets in the show relate to the real city around you. Since the group is limited to 10, you are not stuck watching from the back.

This early location also helps you get your bearings. You are in a part of Paris where walking is natural, and the sidewalks lead you toward bigger landmarks without feeling like you are jumping across town. And since the tour is only 150 minutes, the structure matters: you want a start that gets you into the story fast.

Place de l’Estrapade and Boulangerie Moderne: the show’s most photographed corner

One of the first true “wait, I know this place” moments is Place de l’Estrapade. This is where you do the more classic Emily viewing, with a photo stop and guided tour time built in. Expect the exterior feel of Emily’s apartment area and the look of the neighborhood as the show frames it.

Right alongside this, you also hit the area connected to the bread-and-butter Paris of the series, including a stop at the SAS boulangerie moderne Rabineau. If you are the kind of person who likes to rewatch scenes and spot details, this is where the tour pays off. It is not only about seeing a famous façade. It is about standing on the street and understanding the angles, what looks close-up on screen, and what is more subtle in real life.

A small practical note: because you are doing photo stops early, weather can matter. Bring weather-appropriate clothes and keep your camera accessible. The tour does not include food or drinks, so if you know you get hungry, consider grabbing something before you start rather than assuming you will have a café break built in.

Pantheon to Jardin du Luxembourg: iconic Paris with extra story cues

From the early Emily stops, the walk moves toward bigger landmark territory. You will see the Pantheon area and spend time on sightseeing and walking. This part works well because it shifts the focus from show-specific locations to Paris itself, while the guide keeps the connection to the series alive.

Then comes Jardin du Luxembourg. You get a photo stop plus time to visit and look around. This is one of those places where Paris feels like it slows down for a moment. You are surrounded by greenery, paths, and the kind of calm that makes “cinematic” feel real, not forced. It also gives your legs a break between busier stops.

I like this segment because it gives you something you can enjoy even if you are not hunting every scene. Luxembourg Gardens is simply a great place to walk, take a few photos, and breathe for a minute. And with the guide’s filming anecdotes in the background, you keep that Emily thread running without it turning into a one-note “tour of sets.”

Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore: café culture, with names you can actually point to

Next up is Les Deux Magots, paired with scenic walking on the way. You get sightseeing time here, and this stop is part of the updated Season 5 route. It is a strong choice because it is one of those places where Paris café culture is not an idea, it is the real atmosphere: people chatting, the clink of daily life, and the feeling that stories have been told here for a long time.

You also stop at Café de Flore for a photo moment. Even if you only recognize one of these cafés from the series, you will feel the difference in how the locations present themselves on the street. The guide tends to bring the show context into the mix, which helps you connect the buildings to specific moments you recall.

Here is the practical angle: cafés can get busy, and you are doing a photo stop rather than a long sit-down meal. If you want coffee or a snack, plan to do it on your own time, not as part of the included experience. The tour does not include food or drinks.

Pont des Arts and the Louvre esplanade: postcard Paris with a clear payoff

Pont des Arts is next, with a photo stop and time for sightseeing and scenic views. This is one of the best walking-tour segments because it gives you open views. You can look across the Seine and get that instantly-recognizable Paris feeling without needing to pay for a ticket or book a separate activity.

After that, you reach the Louvre area. You will do a photo stop at the Louvre, then spend time sightseeing and walking near it. The route also includes the Louvre esplanade area, which matters because it changes how you experience the museum. You get to appreciate the setting and the surrounding space, not just the fact that the Louvre is there.

There is a special value here for show fans: the tour helps you see how big, monumental Paris spaces can work in a story. And for non-fans, this segment still delivers because these are major Paris anchors. It is hard to go wrong with views like this.

Just remember: you are on your feet for long stretches. Wear shoes you trust. If you are tempted to bring fashion shoes, do not. The tour is built around walking time, not rest time.

Hôtel du Louvre, Palais-Royal arcades, and finishing at Place de Valois (Savoir vibe)

As you continue, you pass by Hôtel du Louvre, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. There is a short sightseeing and walking moment here. This is another one of those “notice it now” stops, where the guide’s context helps you understand why a place can feel important on screen even if it looks like just another stylish façade at street level.

Then you move to Palais-Royal, where you get another photo stop. Palais-Royal is especially fun for an Emily-style tour because arcades and courtyards give you that Paris layering effect: you look from street to interior space and get a sense of how different the city can feel within a single block.

Finally, the tour ends at 6 Pl. de Valois, 75001 Paris. This location is tied to the show’s Savoir workplace vibe, which is a very satisfying finale. If you have ever paused an episode and thought, I wish I could stand right there, this ending is designed to give you that feeling in a way that stays grounded in real Paris streets.

One more practical tip for the finish: since it ends at Place de Valois, you are in a great area to keep exploring after the tour. Just give yourself time to wander a bit, because this part of central Paris rewards slow walking.

Season 5 updates: Hôtel de Crillon, Les Deux Magots, and Hôtel du Louvre

What makes this version feel current is the inclusion of updated Season 5 filming locations. The route adds three major new stops tied to the newest episodes, including Hôtel de Crillon, Les Deux Magots, and the surrounding Hôtel du Louvre area.

I like the way these updates are handled. They are not treated like random extra photo opportunities. Instead, the guide weaves them into the wider walk, so the “new season” feeling stays connected to everything else you see. Hôtel de Crillon, for example, brings that high-fashion energy that the show leans on. Les Deux Magots then gives you the counterbalance of old-school Paris storytelling energy, and Hôtel du Louvre keeps things tied to the modern luxury look.

If you are a dedicated fan, this is the difference between a tour that feels like a nostalgia loop and one that feels like it is moving with the show. If you are a casual fan, you still benefit, because these are landmark-worthy parts of Paris, not just set-like corners.

The professional Sony Alpha portrait: your keepsake, shot during the walk

One of the most practical value adds here is the professional portrait photo. During the tour, you get taken for a portrait using a high-quality Sony Alpha camera. The photo is edited and sent directly to your email, so you do not have to schedule anything extra later or worry about getting your photo at the end of the day.

I think this is worth paying attention to if you plan to do other Paris photos too. A walking tour photo gives you a clean way to mark the experience, especially in a city where lighting can be hit-or-miss. Here, the photo is built into the plan, which saves you time.

Two quick tips to get the most out of it. First, wear clothing that you feel good in, because you will likely want to actually use the photo later. Second, stay alert to the timing so you do not miss the portrait moment while you are busy photographing the street.

Price and pace for a 150-minute Emily in Paris experience

At $35 per person for a 150-minute guided walking tour with a professional portrait included, the value equation is pretty straightforward. You are paying for three things at once: a guide, a structured route through major stops, and a photo you can receive without extra hassle.

Where the “value” really shows is in the small-group format limited to 10. It makes the experience feel more personal, and it helps the guide manage photo stops and transitions without turning the walk into a rushed stampede.

The pace is the tradeoff. This tour is not designed to be slow. It is a walking-based experience, and it is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility impairments. If you walk comfortably for about two and a half hours in central Paris, you will likely be fine. If long walking is hard for you, consider alternative formats.

Also, keep expectations realistic about food. Transportation to the starting point is not included, and food and drinks are not included, so you should plan your meals around the tour.

Who should book this tour, and who should skip it

You should book this if you fit at least one of these profiles.

• You love the show and want an updated route, including Season 5 filming locations.
• You want a guided walk that blends show spots with real Paris highlights like Luxembourg Gardens, Pont des Arts, and the Louvre area.
• You like small groups and want a guide who talks through filming context without turning it into a lecture.

You might want to skip it if you cannot handle a sustained walking tour, or if mobility is a concern. It also is not meant for bulky logistics since luggage or large bags are not allowed.

If you are traveling with a camera, good news. You can bring your own camera for photos, and you will also get the professional portrait shot for the email delivery.

Should you book this updated Emily in Paris walking tour?

If your goal is a fun, structured way to see central Paris through the lens of Emily in Paris, I think this is a strong pick. The guide is a big part of the appeal, and you get a photo keepsake shot with a Sony Alpha camera. The route also gives you real Paris value, not only show set dressing, with stops that work whether you are watching every episode or just picking up a few references.

My rule of thumb: if you can walk comfortably and you want a show-themed day that still feels like Paris, book it. If walking is hard for you, look for a different format that lets you rest, because this one is built around staying on your feet.
