Smash hit Netflix series Emily in Paris may have been criticised for “not showing the real Paris”, but far from being a fake backdrop, three flats in the building ‘Emily’ lives in are now on sale.
The properties in the building in Place de l’Estrapade, in the capital’s 5th arrondissement, are available for viewing and purchase, through the Junot estate agency.
Yet, Emily (played by American actress Lily Collins, daughter of musician Phil Collins) would need to work especially hard at her social media manager job to afford them.
The smaller apartment (a 40 m² one-bedroom flat) is advertised at €650,000
The three-bedroom apartment, which comes with the adjoining 31 m² studio (which is currently let to a tenant), is up for €3.8 million altogether.
All three properties could be bought together to make one larger property.
Some scenes from the show’s first season, which came out in October 2020, were filmed in the latter rooms.
As the show explains, Emily transfers to Paris from her company’s American office (the Gilbert Group/Savoir), and it is explained that the company (rather than Emily herself) pays for the character’s plush pied-à-terre.
This is just as well, as prices in the neighbourhood regularly top €18,000 per square metre, and, in the case of this larger apartment, the price works out at more than €20,000 per square metre.
The building, which dates to 1830, has many prized attributes, including three-metre-high ceilings, herringbone parquet flooring, double glazing, and unobstructed views. The second apartment’s studio also offers the owner the option to continue to let it out, as it is self-contained and has its own kitchenette and bathroom.
“It ticks all the right boxes,” said estate agent Quentin Girot, from the Junot estate agency, to Le Parisien, adding that the series’ popularity has led to international interest, in part also because of the area’s proximity to institutions such as the Panthéon, la Sorbonne, and the Lycée Henri-IV.
