If you are planning an Emily in Paris-inspired escape, the secret is to choose the right experiences at the right pace. Whether you have one day, two days, or three, Paris by Emily makes it easy to build a trip that feels stylish, playful, and unmistakably Parisian.

Paris is the kind of city that slips over you like a mood. It is in the terrace coffees, the elegant gardens, the pastries that somehow justify themselves, and the long lunches that turn into beautiful afternoon strolls. If you are planning an Emily in Paris-inspired escape, the secret is to choose the right experiences at the right pace. Whether you have one day, two days, or three, Paris by Emily makes it easy to build a trip that feels stylish, playful, and unmistakably Parisian.

1 Day in Paris

If you only have one day, keep it iconic: one beautiful morning experience, a chic lunch, and a glamorous finish on the Seine.

Day 1 Overview: 

Start with the Walking Tour which follows some of the most recognizable Emily in Paris spots along with central Paris landmarks, including Place de l’Estrapade, Jardin du Luxembourg, Place de Valois, and Palais Royal. After the 2.5 hour long tour, settle in for a long lunch around Palais Royal. For something polished and understated, Louise Café is a lovely choice. For a more classic Parisian bistro mood, Chez Georges is a beautiful option just behind Palais Royal. After lunch make your way to the Champagne Seine Cruise which departs promptly at 4:00 PM. It is the perfect finale: champagne, the river, and Paris looking exactly as romantic as you hoped it would.

2 Days in Paris

Two days in Paris gives you room to go a little deeper. One day can be devoted to the iconic Emily-style city moments, and the second can be shaped around whichever experience feels most like you.

Day 1 Overview: 

Begin with the Walking Tour, then make your way toward the Macaron-Making Workshop with a quick, stylish lunch stop along the way.

A lovely option is Breizh Café Montorgueil, especially if you are in the mood for crêpes and that effortlessly Parisian midday pause before your workshop. Breizh Café Montorgueil is especially known for its crêpes and galettes, which makes it a fitting quick lunch choice here. The Macaron-Making Workshop adds that perfect Emily torch to the day: colorful, elegant, hands-on, and a little indulgent. 

Day 2 Overview: 

If you want something delicious and social, choose the Food Tour. It's a playful, immersive foodie experience that includes 7 tastings in the heart of the Latin Quarter.  

If you want something softer and more romantic choose the Montmartre Tour, which includes stops such as Moulin Rouge, La Maison Rose, and Sacré-Cœur.

If your idea of Paris begins with butter and layers, the Croissant-Making Workshop is the perfect choice. 

Whichever morning you choose, the 4:00 PM Champagne Seine Cruise brings a glamorous close to the day.

3 Days in Paris

Three days gives you the luxury of balance. Instead of packing every hour, you can let each day take on its own mood: iconic, romantic, and deliciously slow.

Day 1 Overview: 

Start your trip with a classic Paris day. Spend the morning on the Walking Tour in the Footsteps of Emily, then linger over a chic lunch around Palais Royal before heading to Rue Saint-Honoré for an afternoon of elegant shopping.

In the evening, continue with the Wine and Cheese with Butter-Making Workshop, a deliciously French experience that adds a more intimate, indulgent touch to your first day.

Day 2 Overview: 

In the evening, continue with the Wine and Cheese with Butter-Making Workshop, a deliciously French experience that adds a more intimate, indulgent touch to your first day. Day 2 is all about enjoying Paris through flavor and atmosphere. Begin with the Food Tour, a lively and immersive way to discover the city through some of its most delicious specialties in the Latin Quarter.

Then, in the late afternoon, step aboard the Champagne Boat Cruise along the Seine. It is the perfect contrast to the morning: sparkling, scenic, and effortlessly glamorous.

Day 3 Overview: 

Your final day is yours to shape. Begin with your choice of morning experience — either the Croissant-Making Workshop for a warm, buttery start, or the Montmartre Walking Tour for a more romantic and atmospheric morning. Then, in the afternoon, head to the Macaron-Making Workshop from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM for a playful, elegant, and unmistakably Parisian final experience.

Final Thoughts

The best Emily in Paris itinerary is not really about doing the most. It is about getting the feeling right. A beautiful morning on foot. A crêpe between neighborhoods. A macaron workshop in the afternoon. Champagne on the Seine. A little glamour, a little indulgence, and just enough space to wander.

That is what makes Paris so easy to fall for.
