Take a look at stunning homes depicted in ‘Emily in Paris’: the apartment building Emily calls home and where she meets Gabriel, Camille’s family estate and a storied house in the South of France that served as the backdrop of a party
Emily in Paris, the hit Netflix series, has not only captivated audiences with its romantic escapades, chic fashion and picturesque settings—but also with its stunning filming locations, particularly the homes that served as backdrops for the characters’ lives.
From the bustling streets of Paris and the quaint countryside to the south of France, we take a look at three homes showcased in the series, each with its own unique charm and allure.

The apartment Emily (Lily Collins) lives in is located in Place de l’Estrapade in Paris’s 5th arrondissement, which is also known as the Latin Quarter. The building, where exterior shots are filmed, is a Haussmannian building—the architectural style that characterises much of the French capital.
When Emily in Paris premiered in 2020, much fuss was made of the apparently inaccurate depiction of her chambre de bonne, or maid’s room—traditionally the top floor of a Haussmannian building that was often reserved for domestic workers. Her new home is a flashy, spacious apartment, while chambre de bonne are typically tiny dwellings that have a maximum floor area of around 129 sq ft.
The Place de l’Estrapade neighbourhood has an inviting courtyard and a fountain at its centre—a charming spot to while away an afternoon.

While in Saint-Tropez in season two of Emily in Paris, Emily goes to a house party at Ragazzi House. In real life, the home is Château Diter, a Renaissance property that is in Grasse and a 20-minute drive from Cannes.
It has a storied past: built by the French multimillionaire and real estate developer Patrick Diter, who transformed what was originally a modest farmhouse into a 32,000 sq ft château complete with two helipads, a wine cellar and tasting room, a saltwater pool, vineyards and more extravagant features.
It is also involved in a legal dispute, where the owner is alleged to have built the home illegally; meanwhile, there have been accusations of noise from parties.
The home also appears in the TV drama Riviera (2017-2020) as the family home of the main characters, the Clios family.

Le Château de Sonnay, depicted in the show as Camille (Camille Razat)’s family estate, is located about 280km southwest of Paris. In the show, the home is named Le Domaine de Lalisse and is where the family’s champagne business is based out of.
In real life, the property dates back to 1268, while the site it sits on has been inhabited since the Neolithic period. Today, the estate operates as a winery (though it does not have a pool, as seen in the show—those scenes are filmed elsewhere).
It is reportedly owned by Frédéric de Foucaud, who is a friend of Emily in Paris’s production designer, Annie Seibel.
