Season 5 ofEmily in Paris should, at least in part, take place in Rome. An inconsistency for the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, who promises to fight so that the Netflix series remains on our side of the Alps.
The end of season 4Emily in Paris worries French fans. After four years of living in our capital – without any administrative hassle linked to her visa or metro problems, which she obviously doesn’t take – Emily Cooper flew to Rome. Thanks to a meeting with Marcello Muratori in Megève, then a romance that began near the Italian capital with this representative of a luxury brand, the young American left Paris. Fans are therefore asking themselves the question – since we already know that a season 5 will see the light of day: Emily in Paris will she become Emily in Rome ? Is this move permanent or will we see the Chicago native return to her apartment in the 5th arrondissement? These questions even seem to have reached the highest summit of the State. In an interview given to VarietyEmmanuel Macron promises: “We will fight. We will ask them to stay in Paris. Emily in Paris in Rome makes no sense.”
Emmanuel Macron considers thatEmily in Paris should stay in France
Despite the appearance of Brigitte Macron in one of the episodes of season 4 of the Netflix series, seeing the President of the Republic take a stand for the future of a fiction is quite astonishing. It must be said that, as Emmanuel Macron himself says, the series “is very positive in terms of image for the country”. Since the beginnings ofEmily in Parismany tourists from all over the world walk the streets of the capital thinking of treading the same cobblestones as Lily Collins, who plays Emily.
Emily in Paris : a significant boost for tourism in France
According to a study by CNC released at the start of 2024, 38% of tourists who traveled to France with the idea of following in the footsteps of one of their favorite fictional heroes did so for Emily in Paris. The series Lupinled by Omar Sy, also obtains a good score in terms of impact on tourism. 11% of those questioned in this study said they came to France after following the stories of the gentleman burglar. A desire for elsewhere which leads tourists to Paris but also to Étretat, in the case of Lupinor in Provence, to try to find the filming setting for season 3 d’Emily in Paris and its lavender fields as far as the eye can see.
