Paris works best when you combine a good walk with something to eat, and this tour does exactly that. You move through Emily in Paris filming locations around the Latin Quarter and Luxembourg Gardens, then finish with wine, cheese, and other French bites at La Coop Paris.

I like the small maximum of 10 people, which should make it easier to hear Anaïs and ask questions. I also like the useful souvenirs: a personalized tote bag and a customized Polaroid photo in a frame. The main drawback is the price, $109 per person, especially since transportation and extra food or drinks are not included.

A food tour with a television hook

The Official Emily in Paris Food Tour - A food tour with a television hook

The appeal here is not simply spotting places from Emily in Paris. The better idea is using the show as a thread through a small slice of Paris, then adding food stops that give the walk a practical purpose.

You begin around the Latin Quarter, near Place de l’Estrapade. From there, the route moves toward the Pantheon and Luxembourg Gardens before ending at La Coop Paris on Rue Corneille. That gives you a mix of city streets, famous monuments, a formal garden, and a seated-style tasting stop, though the exact seating arrangement is not specified.

I would think of this as a compact introduction to Parisian food and scenery, not a full-day food crawl. The seven tastings help justify the price, but you should not expect a large meal with unlimited drinks. Extra food and drinks cost more, and the tour ends after about two and a half hours.

The show connection adds fun without being the whole point. Anaïs has a good role here because she can explain both the food and the locations. The experience is likely to work best if you enjoy the series but also want a real taste of Paris beyond taking photographs.

Place de l’Estrapade starts the morning

The Official Emily in Paris Food Tour - Place de l’Estrapade starts the morning

The meeting point is 200 Rue Saint-Jacques, in the 5th arrondissement, with a start time of 10:30 a.m. Confirm the exact meeting instructions before setting out, since the supplied details name the street address but do not describe a visible sign or landmark at the meeting point.

Place de l’Estrapade is the first photo stop. You get about 15 minutes for sightseeing and pictures, with no separate admission charge. The stop is brief, so you should arrive ready rather than planning to explore the area at length.

This opening works well for fans of the show because the square has a direct connection to Emily in Paris. It also gives the group an easy way to settle in before the food tasting begins. Anaïs can point out the location as it appears in real life, where the setting has none of the television polish and all of the ordinary Paris surroundings.

That contrast is part of the charm. You are not only collecting a show-related photograph. You are seeing how a screen location fits into the actual city.

The Pantheon adds a monument and an early bite

The next stop is the Pantheon, where you spend about 10 minutes on a photo stop and food tasting. Admission to the tour stop is free, but the supplied information does not say that you enter the Pantheon itself. Plan on viewing the area from the route rather than assuming an interior visit.

The short timing matters. Ten minutes is enough for a quick picture and a sample, but not enough for a proper monument visit. If the Pantheon is high on your Paris list, return later with a separate ticket and more time.

Food-wise, the stop helps break up the walking. The tour includes seven tastings overall, and the food described includes pastries, cheeses, and small bites. The exact item served at the Pantheon is not specified, so you should treat it as one part of the tasting sequence rather than expect a named specialty.

I like the way this stop brings the tour into a broader Paris setting. You get the show connection, a major landmark, and a taste in one short pause. It is a good reminder that French food is often best understood alongside the streets, buildings, and daily rhythm around it.

Luxembourg Gardens slows the pace

The Official Emily in Paris Food Tour - Luxembourg Gardens slows the pace

The walk continues to Luxembourg Gardens for roughly 15 minutes of sightseeing, walking, and photographs. Again, admission is listed as free for the tour stop.

This is the most relaxed part of the route on paper. After the square and monument area, the gardens offer a change of pace and a more open setting. You can expect time for pictures and a guided walk, but not a detailed garden tour. The schedule is tight enough that the group will keep moving.

For someone who has never visited this part of Paris, the stop adds variety. You are not spending the entire experience inside cafés or shops. The route lets you connect food with public spaces, famous views, and the kind of Paris setting that makes the show recognizable.

The gardens also create a natural midpoint before the final tasting stop. If you want extra time for your own photographs, this is one place where you may wish to return independently. The tour’s 15 minutes is useful for a first look, not a full visit.

A few more filming locations around Paris worth a look

La Coop Paris is the main tasting stop

The Official Emily in Paris Food Tour - La Coop Paris is the main tasting stop

The experience ends at La Coop Paris, 9 Rue Corneille, in the 6th arrondissement. This is where the tour includes wine tasting and cheese tasting, with about 30 minutes allotted.

The final stop gives the tour its clearest food focus. You can expect French cheeses and wine as part of the seven included tastings, along with the pastries and small bites served along the way. The exact wines, cheeses, and portion sizes are not provided, so do not book this expecting a detailed producer-by-producer tasting list.

Thirty minutes is enough for a focused introduction. It is also a useful finish because you can ask Anaïs questions after seeing several places connected to the show. The stop should appeal to people who prefer a little structure with their food. You are not simply wandering from one snack to another. The route builds toward a final place where food and drink share the spotlight.

There is one practical limit: additional food and drinks are not included. If you have a large appetite, you may want to plan another meal afterward. The tour includes seven samples, but it is still best viewed as a tasting walk rather than lunch.

What the seven tastings are worth

The Official Emily in Paris Food Tour - What the seven tastings are worth

Seven tastings sound generous for a two-and-a-half-hour tour, and they form a major part of the value. The available details point to pastries, cheeses, wine, and small bites, with a few items that may be unfamiliar to you.

That last point can be important. A good food tour should give you more than the easiest French clichés. Anaïs has been praised for introducing foods that participants had not encountered before, while still keeping the experience approachable. The specific items can vary or remain unlisted, so you should not choose this tour if you need a fixed menu in advance.

The tastings also make the walking feel purposeful. You are not paying only for show locations and photographs. Food provides a way to stop, compare flavors, and learn a little about French eating habits as the route unfolds.

Still, value depends on what you want. At $109, the tour is not a bargain city walk. You are paying for a small group, a guide, seven samples, wine and cheese, show-related stops, and two keepsakes. If you would happily spend money on several snacks and a guided route anyway, the package is easier to justify. If you mainly want a free filming-location walk, the price will feel high.

Anaïs is a key part of the experience

The Official Emily in Paris Food Tour - Anaïs is a key part of the experience

The strongest personal detail connected with this tour is the guide, Anaïs. She brings humor, food knowledge, and enthusiasm for both Paris and the show, which is exactly the mix this route needs.

A guide can make a food walk feel either useful or rushed. Here, Anaïs appears to add context to the tastings rather than simply hand out samples. She also points out show locations without treating the city like a film set from beginning to end.

That balance matters. Emily in Paris is a light television fantasy, while Paris is a working city with its own food customs and rhythms. The best version of this tour lets you enjoy the fantasy, then look past it to the actual streets and flavors.

The group limit of 10 supports that style. You are less likely to get lost in a crowd, and questions should be easier to manage. The tour is offered in English, so it suits English-speaking visitors who want explanations as they walk and eat.

The souvenirs are more useful than usual

The Official Emily in Paris Food Tour - The souvenirs are more useful than usual

Two included items make this experience feel more personal. You receive a personalized Emily in Paris tote bag and a customized Paris by Emily Polaroid photo with a frame.

The tote has practical value. You can use it during the rest of your Paris stay, though the information does not specify its size or material. The framed Polaroid is more decorative, but it gives you a physical reminder of the route instead of leaving you with only phone pictures.

These extras also help explain part of the higher price. They do not replace food or guiding, but they give the experience a keepsake element that a standard tasting walk may not include.

Timing, walking, and what to plan

The tour lasts approximately two hours and 30 minutes. It includes several walking segments between Place de l’Estrapade, the Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens, and La Coop Paris, so comfortable shoes are a sensible choice.

Transportation is not included. The route is near public transportation, but you need to get yourself to 200 Rue Saint-Jacques for the 10:30 a.m. start and arrange your own way afterward. Since the end point is at La Coop Paris on Rue Corneille, do not assume you will finish at the starting address.

The schedule includes short pauses of 10 to 15 minutes at the first three locations, followed by about 30 minutes at the final tasting stop. That structure suits you if you like a steady morning outing. It may feel quick if you want long photo sessions or extended time inside the Pantheon area.

Most people can participate, according to the supplied information. No detailed accessibility information is provided, so you should ask the operator directly if you have specific mobility needs.

Booking well ahead may be wise. The experience is booked about 110 days in advance on average, and the 10-person limit can make popular dates fill early. Confirmation arrives when you book, and the tour is offered in English.

Who should book this tour

I would recommend it most strongly to three kinds of people:

  • Fans of Emily in Paris who want to see related places without spending a full day on screen locations.
  • First-time visitors who want a guided introduction to Paris food, monuments, and public spaces.
  • Couples, friends, or families who prefer a small group and a planned route over finding every stop alone.

It is less suitable for you if you want an exhaustive food tour, a long museum visit, or a full meal. The Pantheon and Luxembourg Gardens are brief stops, and the menu is not published in detail.

It may also be a poor fit if you dislike television-themed sightseeing. The food and Paris scenery give the tour wider appeal, but the show is central to its identity.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the 10:30 a.m. start time. Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours ahead are not accepted for a refund. The tour also needs a minimum number of participants, and if the operator cancels for that reason, you can choose another date or receive a full refund.

Should you book the Official Emily in Paris Food Tour?

Book it if you want a short, friendly introduction to Paris food with a playful television theme. Anaïs, the 10-person limit, seven tastings, and included keepsakes give the experience more substance than a simple photo walk.

Think carefully about the $109 price. It makes sense if you value the guide, small group, food samples, wine and cheese, and souvenirs as one package. It makes less sense if your main goal is to photograph filming locations or find a full lunch.

My practical advice is to schedule it early in your Paris stay. The route can help you get oriented around the Latin Quarter and Luxembourg Gardens, and the food stops may give you ideas for what to seek out later. Just leave room for another meal afterward, and arrive at the Rue Saint-Jacques meeting point ready to walk.
