About this activity

Paris is the most filmed city in the world for one reason: every street, bridge and facade carries a story. On this 4-hour tour, you walk through the real scenery of Midnight in Paris, Emily in Paris, Ratatouille, The Corcunda of Notre Dame, The Devil Veste Prada and many others — with a Brazilian who has lived in Paris for more than 4 years and knows every detail of these places.

The tour runs through the Louvre region to the Quartier Latin and connects the points you’ve seen on the screens with the real stories behind each scene, with context, curiosities and the right pace for you to enjoy what’s around you.

At the end, the group receives a set of exclusive thematic postcards with the scenery and the works that immortalized them.

The group is 100% private, with a maximum of 8 participants, with a rhythm adapted to the group, including for families with children. Ideal for those who dream of walking through the postcards they saw on the screens and understanding the stories behind each scenario.

Itinerary

Palais-Royal

20 min

Upon arrival at the Palais-Royal, your Guide will take you through the 17th-century arcades that once served as the scene for international productions. You’ll walk through the gardens, understand why this discreet space is one of the favourites of directors looking for elegance without crowds, and hear the story of how a royal palace became one of Paris’s most cinematic — and least touristic — corners.
Pyramide Du Louvre

20 min

When you arrive at the Louvre Pyramid, your Guide will show you why this glass structure designed by I. M. Pei became one of the most recognized scenarios of world cinema, immortalized in The Da Vinci Code. You will hear the history of the controversy that the construction caused when it was inaugurated, understand the architectural details that most visitors pass directly unnoticed, and have time for photos in the viewpoint that best captures the pyramid framed by the historic palace around.
Pont des Arts

20 min

Your Guide will take you to this pedestrian bridge over the Seine, stage of one of the most striking Midnight scenes in Paris. You’ll understand why directors around the world choose this particular spot to film the city, listen to the history of the old custom of love locks removed by the city council for structural reasons, and have time for photos with the view that connects the Institut de France to the Louvre.
Pont Neuf

20 min

Although the name means "new bridge", your Guide will explain why this is actually the oldest bridge in Paris still in use. You will learn about the architectural details that distinguish it from the other bridges of the Seine, hear about scenes filmed there, and cross the stretch that connects the right bank to Île de la Cité.
Place Dauphine

20 min

Your Guide will take you to this hidden triangular square in Île de la Cité, one of the quietest and least visited by tourists — and therefore one of the favorite directors in search of authenticity. You’ll walk through the historic facades, hear why this is one of the most coveted addresses by Parisians, and feel the contrast between the tourist agitation around and this quiet break in the heart of the city.
Shakespeare and Company

20 min

Your Guide will take you to the most famous bookstore in Paris, Midnight Scene in Paris and Before Sunset. You will be able to enter and explore the narrow hallways of used books, listen to the story of how space has become a meeting point for writers over decades;
Notre-Dame

20 min

Your Guide will take you to the parvis of Notre Dame Cathedral, the scene of The Corcunda of Notre Dame and one of the most filmed monuments in the world. You will hear the history of reconstruction after the fire of 2019, understand details of the Gothic facade that most visitors do not notice, and have time for photos in the square.
Eglise De Saint-etienne-du-mont

20 min

Your Guide will take you to this 16th and 17th-century church, the scene of one of the most iconic Midnight appearances in Paris. You will hear the story behind the blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles of the facade, know the proximity to the tomb of Santa Genoveva, patron of Paris, and understand why this corner of the Quartier Latin goes unnoticed by most tourists despite the central role in the film.
Fontaine de l'Estrapade

20 min

Your Guide will take you to this charming 5th arrondissement square, one of the central landscapes of the Emily in Paris series — including the protagonist’s apartment building and the points that inspired the boulangerie and the plot restaurant.
