That's it, life no longer has any meaning because you've exhausted all the Christmas movies on your list? We understand, but as Voltaire once said, "we must not panic because there is nothing more panicking than panic". A wise man. To remedy your anxieties, we suggest you watch the first two seasons of the incredible Netlifx original series Emily in Paris, in anticipation of the third, available from December 21, 2022 on Netflix. Enough to give you a good laugh in front of these not at all cliché things that you had certainly already forgotten.
The maid's rooms of 30 square meters
In the series : Emily discovers her new home and it's a "little maid's room" barely attic of about thirty square meters with a view of a beautiful square near the Pantheon, on the 5th floor without a lift. So cocooning.
In real life : You actually hit the five floors without a lift, only to come across a 9 square meter studio with the shower in the kitchen and beams at shoulder height. Of course, you can't see anything but the windows of people no better off than you.
Good weather
In the series : The sky is blue, the sun is shining, Paris is too romantic and Emily never has a wet dog style having forgotten her umbrella.
In real life : We still see the gray sky of pollution more often than the sun and when it rains once every three days, all the metro stations end up flooded.
Taxis from Charles de Gaulle that take you through all the most beautiful places in the capital
In the series : Lalala, Emily walks from Rue de Rivoli to the Opéra Garnier via the Champs-Élysées, when she has to go to the depths of the 5th arrondissement hihi, tro bo Paris.
In real life : All schuss on the A3 before losing a good hour in traffic jams and discovering that Parisians use their horns more than their muscles to smile. The pura vida parisiana.
The French who work from 10:30 a.m.
In the series : Not too fast in the morning, shouldn't rush his lazy French people who start at almost noon, then take a two-hour lunch break to drink before really starting to work by doing the bare minimum to not work the weekend (unfortunately, it's illegal).
In real life : About three people in Paris start after 9:30 a.m. and no matter how much I contacted all the labor inspection branches, no one was able to find any line prohibiting work on weekends (but if you know where it is, come pv, it's for a friend).
The French who spend half the time naked
In the series : Nothing but the Darons sunbathe naked on the edge of the pistoche and the chicks have hammam afternoons with their friends, drop the top!
In real life : Everyone has a more or less equal relationship to nudity, except in Cap d'Agde. In addition, it is forbidden to walk around naked, even at home.
Birthday dinners in the middle of the street in peace
In the series : To celebrate her 29th birthday, Emily invites all her Parisian friends to the square below her house and sets up a large table for the occasion with good food and good wine.
In real life : Called by your neighbors, the police arrive to ask you if you have permission from the town hall before fining you for drunkenness on the public highway. Meanwhile, crackheads steal your bottles of Chateau Latour and pigeons shit on your brownie. Happy birthday.
The good bakeries without a queue
In the series : Emily sees a super stylish bakery, walks in, gets a pain au chocolat, gets a bad look from the saleswoman, and walks out two minutes later with her delicious pain au chocolat.
In real life : Hello, it would be to wait 20 minutes in line to pay me a classic baguette at €1.50 while having the impression of having asked for 18-carat bread, is it possible? Thanks !
