Only a few places remain today and tomorrow (July 11-12) for a Netflix walking tour in Paris, to view the real-life filming locations of hit TV shows Lupin and Emily in Paris.
The free two-hour walking tour, which is running from today until Sunday, July 17, is available in English, French, or Spanish, and can be booked online here.
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”.
It also includes Place Saint-Michel, the Louvre museum, and the Pont des Arts. Ticketholders will meet at the pond in Luxembourg Gardens and continue from there.
Locations include those seen in Emily in Paris, Lupin, and Notre-Dame, la part du feu. The tour also promises that visitors will also “learn about the history of the film and entertainment industry in the French capital”.

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.
