France's Leading TV Guide TV.fr Launches the Definitive Guide to Paris's Most Iconic Filming Locations
Interactive guide maps 30+ locations from Lupin, Emily in Paris, Amélie, Call My Agent! and more — as “set-jetting” tourism to Paris surges past one million visitors annually

PARIS, FRANCE – July 17, 2026 – TV.fr, France’s premier online television guide serving millions of viewers monthly, today published a comprehensive guide to over 30 iconic filming locations across Paris. The free, interactive guide — available at tv.fr/lieux-de-tournage-paris — covers locations from 10 of the most celebrated French TV series and films, including Netflix’s global hit Lupin, the cultural phenomenon Emily in Paris, the Oscar-winning Midnight in Paris, and the critically acclaimed Call My Agent! (Dix pour cent).

The guide arrives as “set-jetting” — tourism inspired by TV shows and films — reaches record levels in Paris. According to the Paris Tourism Office, more than one million visitors per year now include filming locations in their Paris itineraries, a trend accelerated by the streaming revolution and the global success of French-language content on platforms like Netflix, Canal+, and Disney+.

What the Guide Covers

The TV.fr Filming Locations Guide features exact addresses, scene references, and cultural context for each location, organized by show. Highlights include:

Lupin (Netflix) — The Louvre’s Grande Galerie where Assane Diop’s legendary heist unfolds, the ornate Théâtre du Châtelet, and the Jardin du Luxembourg

Emily in Paris (Netflix) — The now-famous Place de l’Estrapade apartment, the Palais Garnier opera house, and the romantic Pont Alexandre III

Amélie / Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain — The real Café des 2 Moulins in Montmartre (still serving Amélie’s crème brûlée), the Art Nouveau Abbesses metro station, and the Canal Saint-Martin

Call My Agent! / Dix pour cent (France 2) — The chic streets around Rue Marbeuf where the fictional ASK talent agency operates, adapted in seven countries worldwide

Le Bureau des Légendes (Canal+) — Boulevard Mortier, home to France’s real intelligence headquarters (DGSE), and the stark modern architecture of the 13th arrondissement

Engrenages / Spiral (Canal+) — The historic Palais de Justice on the Île de la Cité and the mythical “36 Quai des Orfèvres” police headquarters

The guide also includes a suggested one-day walking itinerary through four Parisian neighborhoods, metro directions, and an FAQ section for international visitors.

About the Guide

“Paris has always been the world’s greatest film set, but the streaming revolution has created an entirely new kind of tourism. Viewers binge a series on Friday night and book flights to Paris on Saturday morning. Our guide helps them find the exact spots where their favorite scenes were filmed — from the Louvre’s Grande Galerie in Lupin to the charming Place de l’Estrapade in Emily in Paris.” — TV.fr Editorial Team

Paris ranks among the world’s most-filmed cities, hosting over 3,000 productions annually across its 20 arrondissements. The city’s unmatched range of backdrops — from medieval streets and Belle Époque boulevards to brutalist housing blocks and cutting-edge architecture — ensures it can double as virtually any setting. This diversity is reflected in the TV.fr guide, which spans 12 different arrondissements and neighborhoods from Montmartre to Bercy.

The rise of French-language content on global streaming platforms has dramatically amplified international interest in Paris as a filming destination. Netflix’s Lupin became the most-watched non-English language series in the platform’s history, while Emily in Paris drove a 30% surge in tourism-related searches for specific Parisian neighborhoods. The phenomenon has prompted the Paris Tourism Office to formally integrate filming locations into its visitor resources.
