“I love creating bridges between online and offline, fiction and reality,” she says. “Curating this new experience allows me to share what I cherish about Paris, from fashion and gastronomy to art and history. Just like Emily in Paris, this is an ode to the French capital for culturally curious minds!”
Charaf El Mansouri, chief executive of travel start-up Dharma (which is hosting the curated holiday), says the experience is tailored to meet the expectations of keen fans of the show.
“So many of us seek travel experiences that are transformational. Series like Emily in Paris make you wish there was a ‘Book This Trip’ button at the end of every episode. That’s the opportunity we see ahead.”
Hopeful visitors have the opportunity to book a shared or single room with costs adjusted for each option.
The success of Emily in Paris and the expansive nature of the show’s fanbase have impacted some locations captured in the background of the show. Residents, workers and shopworkers in the Place de l’Estrapade, located in the historic Latin Quarter, noted an increase in tourism (and the district began sporting some anti-Emily graffiti).
