Here are 10 Movies Similar to Emily in Paris

1. Paris I Love You (Paris je t’aime)

This overlooked classic is a surreal, witty take on Parisian life.

It’s quirky, constantly funny, and endlessly creative.

3. Amelie (Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain)

It’s an obvious pick, but we couldn’t leave it out. While critics argued during its release that the Paris depicted in Amélie never really existed—much like Emily in Paris—this whimsical film remains one of the most visually stunning tributes to the city. Like Emily in Paris, it presents a romanticized, almost fairytale version of the city. Audrey Tautou’s Amélie is another quirky young woman whose adventures capture hearts worldwide.

4. Love Songs (Les chansons d’amour)

A stylish Parisian musical with a love triangle at its center, echoing the blend of romance, comedy, and heartbreak that makes Emily in Paris so addictive. Directed by Christophe Honoré, it offers stunning nighttime views of the city.

Stream Love Songs on Apple TV or rent it on Amazon Prime Video

5. Two Days in Paris

Directed by and starring Julie Delpy, this sharp romantic comedy is often compared to Gossip Girl mixed with Woody Allen’s wit in Manhattan. Shot entirely in Paris, it feels more authentic than Emily’s escapades but is just as funny and romantic.

Stream Two Days in Paris on Peacock, Apple TV+, The Roku Channel, Hoopla and Kanopy

6. Belle de jour

Luis Buñuel’s drama about a chic Parisian wife (Catherine Deneuve) living a double life couldn’t be more different from Emily’s story, yet its strolls through the Champs-Élysées and 8th arrondissement make it iconic. High fashion and double identities? Very Emily.

Stream Belle de jour on HBO MAX and The Criterion Channel, rent it on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video

7. La Vie en Rose (La Môme)

Marion Cotillard’s Oscar-winning performance as Édith Piaf offers a darker glimpse into Paris’s music and nightlife scene. While Emily’s Paris is lighthearted, this film shows the city’s artistic soul—perfect also for fans of Call My Agent! (Dix pour cent) who want to see another side of French stardom.

Rent La vie en Rose on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and Fandango At Home

8.Stolen Kisses (Baisers Volés)

François Truffaut’s (The 400 Blows) continuation of Antoine Doinel’s story offers romance, comedy, and Parisian charm. Like Emily, Antoine is caught between love and work, making plenty of relatable mistakes along the way. The film features charming locations in the 7th and 9th arrondissements, as well as Boulevard de Rochechouart at the foot of Montmartre.

9. In Paris (Dans Paris)

Directed by Cédric Klapisch (The Spanish Apartment, Chinese Puzzle), this film intertwines multiple storylines in the city. It’s not a glossy postcard Paris, but like Emily in Paris, it treats the city as a character in itself.

10. Hôtel du Nord

Marcel Carné’s 1938 classic about a working-class hotel along Canal Saint-Martin shows a very different Paris from Emily’s Instagram-perfect one. Still, it’s a must-watch for anyone curious about how the city was portrayed in French cinema before Emily Cooper’s arrival.While many scenes were shot on studio sets, the film still offers a fascinating glimpse of 1930s Paris.
