Faced with the success of the first three seasons on Netflix, “Emily in Paris” is back in the capital to shoot a season 4. Filming has already started in the presence of actress Lily Collins, heroine of the series, and daughter of the legendary Phil Collins. In a few days, the cameras should be installed on rue des Fossés-Saint-Jacques in Paris (Ve) and place de l’Estrapade, since this is where the star of the show lives. And there also that she met her lover, Gabriel, who is the chef of the restaurant downstairs.

It can be read in black letters: “Emily not welcome” (“Emily, not welcome.”) as well as “Emily, get out of it, Paris south is not yours” in French in the text as well as “Emily is shit” (understand, “Emily is shit.”).

“A form of annoyance that I can understand”
Questioned by Le Parisien, the mayor of the 5th arrondissement, Florence Berthout replied: “Registrations? You teach me“, before ensuring that what was necessary would be done. She who deplored “an isolated action” also said “However, it is true that there is a form of annoyance in the neighborhood that I can understand. For this new shoot, we asked the production to be more reasonable: there will be fewer trucks and the number of days of filming, during these holidays, will be limited to three”. Atmosphere.
