On Thursday, January 12, David Belliard, deputy mayor of Paris, France, wrote to the daily newspaper “Libération” with a harsh opinion about the popular Netflix drama “Emily in Paris.
The deputy mayor of Paris has a bitter complaint against the popular drama.
David Belliard wrote in the article, “The drama is limited to the most unchanging parts of Paris, the ultra-central area with its uniform architectural heritage that the wealthy inhabit,” and “in short, it is an ‘Instagram-like’ Paris with impeccable colors and idealized landscapes.

Emily in Paris” has been available on Netflix since 2020, with Season 3 premiering last month. The story is about Emily, a 20-something American who moves to Paris to work in advertising and successfully overcomes the cultural differences.
The drama is filled with scenes of Emily’s success in her job and the beautiful Parisian landscape, but Belliard said, “This is a fiction, and it is neither desirable nor feasible. It can only be done by easing regulations on climate and easing the constraints of resource scarcity,” he said.
Furthermore, the drama depicts Emily living in the attic of a 19th-century apartment building in the Latin Quarter, which, according to Belliard, is “an impossible scene.
In recent years, Europe has been hit by a record heat wave, and the old apartment is in no condition to withstand the heat.
The top floors of these apartments are like ovens during the hottest months,” he said. Belliard and others stated that “the simple solution would be to paint the roofs with white reflective paint, but that would throw off the hue of Paris,” he continued.
Belliard then called for “getting away from the stereotyped image of the ‘good old’ city of Paris and inventing a new, beautiful Paris that adapts to a changing world.”
