New season and new dynamic! In the first season of “Emily in Paris”, the American Emily Cooper came to Paris to spend a few months at Savoir, the marketing agency collaborating with her Chicago company.
At the end of the second season, released exactly a year ago, the most American of Parisians was faced with a crucial choice. Continue to work for Savoir and Madeline (Kate Walsh), her American superior, or join the Grateau agency, created by Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), the manager of Savoir? This choice implying another: stay in Paris or return to Chicago?
A 1412% increase in searches
Unsurprisingly, in this third season, Emily decided to stay in Paris to become a real expatriate. We therefore see her continue to explore the capital with her friend Mindy, venturing this time to the Parc de la Villette for an open-air cinema session and always walking through the Palais-Royal garden and the quays of Seine.
In recent days, this Parisian life has given many Netflix subscribers the desire to move. According to information from the British real estate agency “GetAgent”, relayed by “Le Parisien”, the British and the Americans seem to have succumbed to the clichés of the Darren Star series. Searches for moves in Paris increased by 1416% at the end of last week, after the release of the new season, compared to the previous week.

“Treat yourself to a little piece of the capital”
Questioned by the Ile-de-France daily, Nicolas Pettex-Muffat, director of Daniel Féau and Belles Demeures de France, this phenomenon is not an “epiphenomenon”, but has been observed for several months now: “Many of them have the series in mind and want to treat themselves to a little piece of the capital. The real estate specialist specifies that searches for properties between 1 and 3 million euros are popular with Anglo-Saxons.
Also interviewed by “Le Parisien”, the real estate agency Vingt Paris points out that many American women in their twenties express their desire to settle in Paris for a year. Has Emily Cooper become the ultimate model of the American in Paris for her compatriots? Despite the watered-down version that “Emily in Paris” shows of the capital, the third season seems to confirm it. This trend could be further amplified since the cast will be back for a fourth season, already confirmed by Netflix several months ago.
