Just a few ‘seats’ remain for this afternoon and tomorrow morning.

The tour promises to take visitors “through the eyes of your favourite Netflix characters…through some of Paris’ most important landmarks, including Luxembourg Gardens, the Latin Quarter, the Panthéon, Notre-Dame and Pont Neuf”.

Paris is not the only city where filming location tours are offered. In France, there are also tours in Étretat (Seine-Maritime) and Saint-Tropez (Var), again for the shows Emily in Paris and Lupin.

However, some residents in Étretat have said that tourist visits to the famous cliffs should be limited, calling for better management of the 1.2 million who visit every year.
