Call it what you will β the City of Love, the City of Lights, the capital of fashion, or the most beautiful city in the world, Paris remains the Queen.
Paris has always been more than just a city. Sheβs a mood, a muse, a cinematic dreamscape. After a period of pandemic-related stillness, Paris took a deep breath, reapplied her lippy and has stepped back into the spotlight. In 2024, almost 49 million people paid homage to her. 2025 is predicted to be even bigger thanks in large part to the Paris Olympics, but also to the success of shows like Emily in Paris and this yearβs third season of The Summer I Turned Pretty (TSITP) with its last three episodes filmed in Paris. There will be even more nostalgic flutters mixed with Instagrammable moments when The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits cinemas in May 2026.
If set-jetting is your ultimate aesthetic, step inside the frame of your fave movies and television shows with this Movie Girlβs Map to Paris.
