One of the things I like about Emily in Paris is how older women (Sylvie et al.) are portrayed as attractive. This is something you don’t see in American films and TV shows. Sylvie’s fashion is stunning in the show; and she seems to be rubbing off on Emily, whose outfits are more sophisticated now.

Same with Los Angeles. As a native Angeleno, it is seriously impacted by tens of thousands of people moving here in search of living the Hollywood dream, when so much industry here has nothing to do with the movie/tv business. Housing has been severely impacted by influencers that rent clothes, cars and even mansions, by the hour to create their fake aesthetic. There isn't any stopping it. I went to Paris and I honestly didn't get the romantic vibe at all until the very last day when I got to see the bridges lights come on at dusk. It was beautiful. I also loved staying in neighborhoods with very diverse people. It ended up being very fun.

As a Scot who's lived in Paris for 15 years I can attest that the only remotely 'real' characterisation in the show is Philippine Leroy. I know and see on a daily basis women of the same age who absolutely rock her look and attitude. The actress nailed it. Lucky me eh?

The alcohol consumption in France is still very high. But the "baby bottle" reference is to the fact that in France children were served wine in schools even until 1956, then they banned it for kids under 14, meaning 14 and up could still consume it, and in 1981 they raised the age to 18. Apparently many people in France protested the ban because they believed back then that wine was good for children and their growth and development.

I remember that when I first lived in Paris, in the 1970s, it was usual in working class families for children from about 5 up to drink a bit of wine, mixed with a lot of water -- as they got older, the ratio of wine to water went up, until about 16, when they'd be drinking pure wine. But that was then; the wine they were drinking was "gros rouge", sold in a 1.5 litre plastic bottle (like mineral water). It's been ages since I've seen such bottles.

Emily In Paris is an extremely accurate show about the daily lives and struggles of everyday Parisians--just like how Friends accurately depicts life in 1990's NYC for semi-employed people in their 20's who mostly sit around all day and do nothing, or how Mission Impossible is based on the daily lives of CIA, MI5 and DGSE agents and completely realistic and based on actual events. And if you believe that, I've got an old Parisian tower to sell you...😂 But yeah, as pure campy escapism entertainment of the high production value sort, it's quite fun.

The way you open, pointing out the conceptual parallels between Emily in Paris and Sex in The City is so brilliant!! Having lived in both Paris and different major cities in the US, I think it's quite accurate. No one (at least in the states) ever assumes that Sex in The City is a realistic depiction of NYC. I think anyone who takes the show at face value is shallow and not well educated in general/has literally never traveled outside of a small town. Just like no one should judge Paris as a whole by this show, I hope you don't judge all Americans by the few who stick out like a(n embarrassingly) sore thumb and say rude things like the quote from Moulin Rouge! ❤ Love watching your channel!! Also, as an American, my parents did the same thing when I was younger. They would give me very small sips of wine to teach me flavor and regional knowledge. 🙂

One thing about movies and TV series that take place in a certain location is that, if the majority of their on location scenes (i.e. not shot on sound stage sets) are actually shot in that location and not in some other location that's meant to be a stand-in for it (the way that Vancouver is also a stand-in for Seattle and Toronto the same for NYC, which I can spot instantly having lived in two and visited the other two), is that no matter how unrealistic and even awful the movie or series is, at least we get to see those locations, which is a saving grace if it's an attractive and interesting one. So, whatever one thinks of Emily In Paris, Amelie or Lupin (I've never seen the latter), you still get to see gorgeous shots of famous and/or typical Parisian locations, however cliche they may be. Because cliches aren't always bad, and in fact are what most tourists want to see. So they can redeem even the most awful movie or series that way. They're also important historically, because as time moves on you get to see what that location was like 10, 30, 50 years ago or more. Try watching Godard's A Bout de Souffle (i.e. Breathless) and comparing it to the Paris of today. Fascinating. But seriously, who do they think they're fooling when they try to pass off Vancouver as Seattle or Toronto as NYC, by throwing in some b-roll of the latter? I wonder if anyone's ever try to pass off Lyon or Marseille as Paris. J'Accuse!

I have never seen Emily in Paris and I cannot remember Amelie! I think Paris has always been romanticised by the world - when I lived in Japan, the french language and Paris was always a mystical and romatic spot. I don't know if it's true but someone told me that the Japanese embassy offered counseling to Japanese people in Paris who were depressed when they realised that France in reality is not the same as France in movies! One day I"ll watch it :)

Same reason i watch Bridgeton. Its escapism and the sets are wonderfully shot. Although i do wish there was more bonnets 😢 I'm from the UK and i distinctly remember having a conversation with my parents about drinking alcohol (for context this was during dinner, my parents are Christian and my dad would have maybe one glass of wine on a sunday with food, my mum was teetotal-she told me she didnt like the taste of alcohol). I was about 8 yrs old, and my dad let me try a bit of his wine (it was Blue Nun, and i really didn't like it). Sometimes at Christmas i would be allowed to have one glass of mulled wine under supervision of my parents, and when i was 17 they took me and my twin sister to the pub for a meal (something that we regularly did), we were given the drinks menu and both ordered cokes. My parents told us that as we were 17, we could have an alcoholic beverage, as it was being brought for us by an adult as part of a meal (according to UK drinking laws) ❤

I went to a college in the USA that has a French exchange student program. In my dorm building we had a lot of the French students. They all told me they disliked Amelie. I became good friends with some of them but one stereotype that they made true is that all the French students smoke cigarettes and I mean a lot. We would be talking and they would go outside and smoke and come in. Even at parties they would leave and smoke outside and come in again.

On the way, I googled one of the locations of the show, did a small detour, took a photo for my gf (of me in front of that bakery). But it was insane how many tourists were taking photos and videos there - in that whole area. I can very much understand if the locals are tired of that.

Bonjour, Lucile. Thank you for your insights and humor. It's interesting about the culture of alcohol. I was born and raised in America but my father was French, and when we'd come to France and Corsica to visit our grandparents and cousins in the 1960s and 70s, we kids were served red wine diluted with water at dinner. This was seen as perfectly normal, and as it is, everyone in our family either grew up to drink responsibly or not drink at all. But we know a good wine when we taste it.

I used to get mad about people from English-speaking nations portraying foreigners, but I've somewhat altered my opinion on the matter, because a lot of countries do this in their national cinemas. The reason is usually budget constraints or not wanting to replace a big local name with an unknown actor. I recently watched an Egyptian show set in "America," and it was pretty well done, and the mistakes were quite funny at times. It's still acting, after all, and we can't expect every type of person on a screen to be portrayed by an actor of exactly the same background. HOWEVER. I do protest using actors of mismatching backgrounds when it's used as a means of making propaganda. A lot of the time, when little effort is made to accurately reflect culture, it's done in order to poison the audience against whatever is being represented. Obviously, Emily is a lighter show, and the overall portrayal of Paris is meant to be positive and attractive, hence the local actors and on-location filiming (although entirely doing away with stereotypes is clearly beyond the pale for an American production).

I can understand the romanticism of Paris. I'm American and all our media from Friends to pretty much every show set in Los Angeles is a romanticized version of the city. Totally get that. My biggest issue is not that, it's that I think the Emily characters written as naive, shallow, unrealistically wealthy, uncaring about her coworkers, needlessly focused on getting a man's attention (and yes i'm a man saying this). Her career she seems like she's not actually working just going to parties. It's illogical the scenes where they are pitching to clients without ever discussing the pitches. Sure Emily is easy on the eyes, and i can be romanced by the idea of Paris, and but i honestly wanted that as just a backdrop for a story with a little more career, a little more depth of character. etc.

Lastly, I wanted to make a comment about the alcohol and when you were explaining about having wine as a young person. I hope there is not actual negative responses from people about this to you or to the Emily in Paris show. I think we can trust that all parents in all countries despite differences, care about their children and no one is going to do obviously wrong things like give their children alcohol in large quantities or anything like that. We all grow up sneaking sips of dads beer, or wine on new years eve. And especially when we get to be 12 years onwards, it is like a big thing getting to sip more beer or wine on Saturday dinners or lunches. I know mates who were having full beers with their parents when they were 15. But it is all in "moderation" as we say and that is fine. It is strange how people today react so badly to "fictional events" in movies, and TV shows, and then decide to judge everyone based on that lol. We want to be right about everything, and decide we know everything because being right means you are smarter than other people perhaps?. I dont know, but I am not like that. Keep up the great videos, I like your projector also, I have been thinking about getting that for the bedroom. Cheers mate! (Australian way of saying au revoir) lol

I think you hit the nail on the head when you stated that this tv show is made for an American audience. I watch it as mindless fun when I have nothing better to do although Emily is an unlikeable character imo. And that harmful sterotype that French girls are “easy”…well, try having an East European accent, almost everyone thinks you’re a “Natasha” and you’re a mail order bride🙄 Don’t take it too personally, unfortunately people are stupid sometimes.

Bevo, I have only seen one scene of "Emily" - But it may not show you Belleville and the much poorer areas of North and Eastern Paris. It may not show you all of the people on the streets dressed like NORMAL PEOPLE, because they are! Bottom line any manufactured series will only show you the best, most polished and dusted off impressions of a place. C'est la vie! ♥

As an American they used to and might still rub brandy on a baby that is teething. I don't have kids so i don't know if it's effective. I can 100% say my parents also let me have a sip and later even a glass of wine, sip of my dad's beer as a child to introduce me. It's not at all uncommon here in the states. It's very different than allowing serious drinking by kids.

I really enjoy Emily in Paris. I thought it was clearly a satire and not meant to be taken seriously so I was surprised when people were angry that it was inaccurate. I wouldn’t say it’s the best thing I’ve ever watched but it’s one of my guilty pleasures for sure. I really wanna visit Paris someday but I think it’s from growing up watching Ratatouille. I just wanna go so I can eat all the food and go to all the restaurants and Cafes 😅😂

I ve returned from Italy recently…Milano Como Bergamo region..back there almost everybody dresses Top fashion with attention to details, both men and women of all ages…such a pleasure to see beautiful ppl on the streets not just movies…Also i m sure Italians are more into fashion and Aspect than French…who are more simple, rigid and plain and what I hear mostly about France in recent years is related to Riots, strikes and street violence,not so much fashion anymore..Also, in Italy you feel more safe walking down the streets carrying a designer bag than in other parts of Europe..

The bed hopping got on my nerves over the seasons. But I think at the end of the last season I was angry because Emily became scapegoat for other peoples’ issues. Gabriel telling Emily that she should’ve gone back to the US. Camille calling her out when she had an affair on Gabriel. They made their beds. I don’t know if I want to watch season four so I’ve been watching reviews. 😅

On a different scale, I feel the same way about stereotypes of Brazilian women (I'm Brazilian). Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world in terms of territory, with different climates and ways of living. To the world we are Rio de Janeiro and we live on the beach wearing tiny bikinis, exposing our marvellous bodies. There are brands that sell products based on our ‘lifestyle’. I was born and have lived here for 60 years and to this day I don't know anyone who lives like that.

Bonjour Lucile, I found your channel today while looking for channels focused on Paris. I went to Paris in 2014 and Emily in Paris is simply for entertainment. After living in different countries (Italy, Iceland) I understand the importance of respecting other people's culture. However, Emily in Paris is so fun to watch for the fashion. I will be returning back to Paris next year and wanted to brush up on my French and the culture.. so Viola your channel is just the right thing to follow to prepare me. 🙂

Bonjour, si vous en avez l'occasion, pourriez-vous demander aux hommes français ordinaires s'ils sont offensés d'être décrits comme ‘perpetually hitting on Emily?’ Il y a beaucoup de femmes françaises attirantes à Paris, et j'ai du mal à croire que les hommes français tomberaient amoureux d'Emily comme des mouches. Je ne suis ni française ni américaine. Je vois qu'Emily possède toutes les qualités qui plaisent aux Américains, mais les hommes français semblent vouloir plus de complexité chez leur femmes.

G'day Lucile, from Australia. I am a middle aged male, and I have totally enjoyed Emily in Paris and started learning French. How many times have you heard someone say that by now? lol. I truly did learn some interesting things about French culture, but on the positive side, and how to not be rude to people in France by respecting French tradition etc such as saying hello to the owner of the French shop after walking in. I definitely did not let the things in the series go to my head in terms of stereotyping French people. I think everyone is "misunderstood" until you get to know them, which is why Emily is hated by her work colleagues and eventually has to learn to understand. I enjoy your videos also, and really enjoy listening to your explain various things. I cant watch Season 4 until the last part is released, I have to watch them together so I dont have to wait a month wondering! lol.

There's no need to be apologetic about your parents letting you, as a small child, taste wine. My parents, Italian-Americans, would let me, as quite a little kid, have a small glass of beer now and then. I mean, "small." That was in the 50's, when giving your child a daily orange juice was like a religious tenet. So everyone had these very small "juice glasses" in their cupboard. And even then, they probably filled the glass halfway.By the time my brother and I were in our mid-teens, we would have been allowed a small portion of cocktail in the home, although we actually weren't much interested. My parents preferred that to having us sneak out to drink. But on the whole, I have found Americans extremely puritanical about letting children taste alcohol, to a ridiculous extent. I have seen adults being quite annoyed about children having a sip from the cup at religious ceremonies. If you are waiting for a table at a restaurant, you may sit at the bar, but in some states, your child, even if teenaged, cannot sit with you, so you stand and wait. Way back when ice cream parfaits with a little bit of creme de menthe drizzled on them was a fad, restaurants couldn't serve them to underage people.

No mention of Japan Paris Syndrome? Heres a copy/paste from wilki..... Paris syndrome (パリ症候群, Pari shōkōgun) is a sense of extreme disappointment exhibited by some individuals when visiting Paris, who feel that the city was not what they had expected. The condition is commonly viewed as a severe form of culture shock. The cluster of psychiatric symptoms has been particularly noted among Japanese tourists, perhaps due to the way in which Paris has been idealised in Japanese culture. The syndrome is characterized by symptoms such as acute delusional states, hallucinations, feelings of persecution (perceptions of being a victim of prejudice, aggression, hostility from others),derealization, depersonalization, anxiety, as well as psychosomatic manifestations such as dizziness, tachycardia, sweating most notably, but also others, such as vomiting.
