The whirlwind experience of Emily in Paris has swept audiences back into its vibrant world with a thrilling new season. Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins, finds her life oscillating between the enchanting allure of Paris and the promising prospects of Rome, with a brief detour to America. This season sees her at yet another pivotal junction, navigating the complexities of her professional and personal aspirations.

In its fifth season, the beloved Netflix series presents Emily with a tantalizing decision: remain in Paris where she has established her multifaceted life, or embrace a burgeoning opportunity in Italy. There, she takes charge of Agence Grateau’s new office in Rome and is eventually offered a partnership with her boyfriend, Marcello Muratori, portrayed by Eugenio Franceschini, to help manage his business.

This season is a saga of emotional highs and lows not just for Emily but also for her close-knit circle, including Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) and Mindy (Ashley Park). The narrative crescendoes to a dramatic shift as Emily and Marcello’s relationship dissolves. The season concludes with a tantalizing cliffhanger when Gabriel, played by Lucas Bravo, proposes an enticing invitation for Emily to join him in Greece. Could this signal a possible transformation into Emily in Greece for Season 6?

As of now, the series awaits confirmation for a sixth season. Nevertheless, series creator Darren Starr has hinted at future possibilities. In conversation with DECIDER, Starr mentioned potential plans for the next season, which may include a more substantial American chapter for Emily and her entourage.

While Emily in Paris captivates viewers with its romanticized landscapes, it is equally celebrated for Emily’s eclectic and whimsical fashion choices. This begs the question: where did the filming for Emily in Paris Season 5 take place?

Where was Emily in Paris filmed?

Emily in Paris Season 5 filmed on location in Rome and Paris, which means fans can take a tour of this picturesque season’s most beautiful spots, some of which are already popular tourist destinations, according to Netflix’s Tudum.

Season 5 kicks off with a glimpse at Emily’s new apartment, which is reportedly located at Piazza Costaguti. Later in the episode, Emily and Marcello also drive to the Italian countryside of San Polo dei Cavalieri where Emily makes a rather embarrassing impression while foraging for truffles with his family.

Speaking of Marcello, fans may be disappointed to hear his idyllic hometown of Solitano does not actually exist. Those scenes were filmed in the village of Ostia Antica, an ancient city in Rome.

Emily does get to enjoy some sightseeing in Rome, as well. Marcello takes her to the Aventine Keyhole, which offers a view of both the Vatican City and Malta, while standing in Italy. He also takes her to visit the Mercati di Traiano, Rome’s first shopping mall.

Some of the season’s most delightful scenes take place at the convent where Luc (Bruno Gouery) is staying to save money. Luc, of course, makes himself comfortable amongst the nuns, who enforce a rather strict curfew and don’t take kindly to his nudity. But Tudum notes the convent scenes were actually filmed at a private villa in the Aventino area of Rome.

When Emily eventually returns to Paris, she makes sure to hit some of her favorite spots, including her old apartment 1 Place de l’Estrapade and the Boulangerie Moderne, which is in Place de l’Estrapade.

Season 5 also brought many changes to Mindy’s career, but she is still continuing her residency at the Crazy Horse Paris, which is an actual cabaret bar located at 12 Avenue George V.

Emily and Gabriel later share a bittersweet goodbye when they met at the Gare de Lyon Train Station for a quick lunch at Le Train Bleu, a restaurant inside of the train station.

A trip to Venice would not be the same without a ride down the Grand Canal. Collins revealed to Tudum filming in Venice required some more logistical planning. “The absence of cars and the need to travel by boat everywhere is incredibly romantic, but also requires a lot of coordination,” she said. “On a show like this, you go to work on a boat, film on a boat, go home on a boat, and even transfer wardrobe by boat.”

Other filming locations in Venice include the Ponte Minich, the St. Regis hotel in Venice, Rio Marin and the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo.

Emily in Paris Season 5 is streaming now in its entirety on Netflix.
