It’s a wrap on Season Three, and Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) shows no signs of leaving Paris. And ogling the sepia-toned shots of bougainvillaea spilling from the wrought-iron balconies of Paris’s Haussmann buildings in the Netflix smash series Emily in Paris, I can’t blame her.
In fact, Emily is on her way to becoming almost French, and the latest series had many moments that rang true about my own experience of moving to France (namely, the horrors of French bureaucracy and the visa system). She still spends an inordinate amount of time fine-dining in restaurants with panoramic views of the Eiffel Tower (Savoir must be paying more than your average Parisian marketing firm), but Emily seems to finally be getting under the skin of the French capital.
