About this quest

Discover Paris through the eyes of Emily, from the famous Netflix show Emily in Paris. Take a walk through some of the most famous places in Paris, such as the Louvre, while also stumbling upon hidden gems. You’ll get to rediscover scenes from the show while also learning about the real history of each filming location.

Highlights

  • Learn about the grisly history of a picturesque square in the Latin Quarter

  • Find out how long it would take you to see all of the art in the Louvre

  • Proclaim your love on the love lock bridge

The mission: Your story in Paris

After hundreds of letters from your French pen pal, you receive one that breaks your heart – “I cannot write to you any longer, it’s too hard to love you from such a great distance.” You never got a chance to tell them how you feel about them, so you decide to do something crazy – hey, it’s for love. 
 

You hop on a plane and fly out to Paris, hoping to meet your pen pal and tell them their feelings are reciprocated in person.
