Picture Paris. Go full film-script cliché. Grand Haussmannian boulevards laced with pale stone buildings. Sidewalk cafés, food markets, boulangeries. The Seine ribboning its way through the Left Bank and the Right. Chic Parisians, impeccably dressed and impossibly stylish. Charming neighborhoods where every corner reveals a secret square, a flower stand, a wrought-iron bench on which to perch and watch those chic Parisians pass by as you flirt with your handsome neighbor, adjust your beret and bathe in the romance of it all.

Sounds like a montage of clips from Emily in Paris, non? (If you haven’t seen the series starring Lily Collins and Lucas Bravo, stop reading now.)

Over five seasons (the sixth scheduled to begin production in May 2026), the Netflix series embedded this idealized version of the city into pop-culture consciousness. Fans happily suspended their disbelief over how a twenty-something could afford the fashion and the 5th-arrondissement address on a junior marketing exec’s salary. Because this is a picture of Paris that needn’t be spoiled by reality.

But Emily’s Paris is real. On charming Place de l’Estrapade, as recognizable to series superfans as, say, Carrie Bradshaw’s Upper East Side brownstone in Sex and the City, a perfectly Parisian apartment is on the market.

And by Parisian standards, the third-floor flat is generously sized at 183 square meters (1,970 square feet). Overlooking the pretty square, with its fountain and trees and benches, this is quintessential Paris, outside and in.

As light and airy as Emily Cooper’s breezy persona, the interiors feature parquet flooring, tall ceilings, a fireplace and large windows that open to the square. Period details like decorative cast-iron radiators, exposed wooden beams and stone walls and sliding pocket doors sit stylishly in this updated three-bedroom apartment.

Built in 1830, the building occupies a unique position on the square, with unobstructed views and no overlooking neighbors. And its Latin Quarter location reads like a Paris top-ten list: La Sorbonne, Jardin du Luxembourg, the Panthéon, Place Saint-Michel, Shakespeare and Company…more of that film-script version of the city.

For fans who haven’t already made the pilgimage to the historic Quartier Latin locations that so defined Emily in Paris, take comfort in knowing that Gabriel’s restaurant really is just around the corner on Rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques. In real life, it’s called Terra Nera, an Italian bistro. Who’ll be its next regular customer?

The flat within 1 Place de l’Estrapade is represented by Quentin Girot of Maison Junot for €3.5 million (around $4.09 million). Maison Junot is a member of Forbes Global Properties, the invitation-only network of top-tier brokerages worldwide and the exclusive real-estate partner of Forbes.
