In Emily in Paris, he is Luc, the kindly “nerdy” colleague of the American heroine of the Netflix series. A specimen of Parisian hedonist who explains to young Emily, newly arrived in a luxury marketing agency in the capital, the codes of the world of work in France: “Here we work to live; you Americans live to work. »
In real life, actor Bruno Gouery is an aficionado of the Marais, a district that this history enthusiast is particularly fond of. A theater actor trained in particular by Michel Galabru, this 1,90 meter giant has a good dozen cinema films to his credit, not to mention around twenty TV films and numerous appearances in commercials.
Le Marais being absent from the series Emily in Paris, the actor brimming with imagination (he is also an author) explains to us where the character of Emily would be invited to lunch: at Nénesse and at the Nicolas Flamel inn, two addresses of the 3rd arrondissement. While waiting for season 2 of the hit series - nominated for the Golden Globes - to cross the Seine to reach old Paris!

D’OTHER LOVERS OF THE MARAIS
A meeting with the philosopher Charles Pépin
Philosopher, writer, successful author, professor at Sciences Po and at the Lycée de la Légion d'Honneur, Charles Pépin, who bears a royal first name twice, logically lives in the former district of Charles V, i.e. -say in the Marais. For having traveled up and down (“It’s by walking…
Librairie 0fr., the temple of “cool”
The Ofr bookstore. is so open to the world that it spills onto the sidewalk. Rue Dupetit-Thouars, the books spread out on the tables on either side of the entrance give an idea of what awaits customers behind the window: ultra-trendy fashion magazines, design magazines...
Antoine Carrance, head of the Marais Dance Center
At the helm of the oldest amateur dance school in Paris, Antoine Carrance continues the work initiated by his mother with the same credo: firmness but kindness. And professionalism! It was she, in fact, who created the Marais Dance Center in the 1970s, which has now become an institution.
NOW ON
THE MOOD MARSH
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais.

Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May
The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
