Netflix Hit 'Emily in Paris': What Parisians and Politicians Think

Paris, FranceWednesday, October 9, 2024

French President Emmanuel Macron recently spoke out about the Netflix show "Emily in Paris," which has become one of the platform's biggest hits. The show, which is set in Paris, has sparked mixed reactions among locals. Some Parisians dislike it for reinforcing stereotypes about their city, going as far as vandalizing filming locations with offensive graffiti. However, others have grown to appreciate it.

Macron has a positive view of the show, saying it boosts France's image. "It's really good for the country's appeal," he stated. He also shared his pride in his wife, Brigitte Macron, who made a brief appearance in the latest season. "It was just a short moment, but it was a great experience for her," he said. When asked if he would ever make a cameo in the show, Macron joked, "Well, I'm not as appealing as Brigitte!"
