The second season of Netflix’s Emily in Paris arrives this week, with Lily Collins returning to our screens as an American social media strategist getting to know the French capital.

Series two picks up where its predecessor left off – with Emily avoiding her friend Camille (Camille Razat) after having slept with her recent ex-boyfriend Gabriel (Lucas Bravo).

While fans can expect the comedy to return with all the romantic drama you could need to get through Christmas, season two is also set to deliver when it comes to picturesque locations.

Here’s a guide to all the places that feature in Emily in Paris.
