00:00There are a lot of parks in Paris, but I don't know why I especially like this one.
00:05This is the Palais Royale garden.
00:07I love to come here to chill with my friends, especially when it's sunny.
00:16Hi, I'm Fanny, I'm 24, and I'm a fashion stylist born and raised in the capital of France.
00:21Hi, bonjour, this is Entrée des Artistes, and welcome to my apartment in Paris.
00:32Let me show you around.
00:34I live in a one-bedroom apartment, and this is the perfect amount of space for me.
00:41I moved out of my parents' home when I was 22, not far from France's average age, which
00:46is almost 24.
00:48In Paris, a one-bedroom apartment is often between $1,500 to $3,000 per month.
00:53So this is my little safe space.
00:56I am very happy to have created this little cocoon for myself.
01:02So now I'm going to get ready for the day.
01:08I share a lot of fashion content on TikTok, which is a way for me to enjoy expressing
01:12my creativity freely.
01:13What are you talking about?
01:15My wardrobe is colorful.
01:17This is midnight black.
01:19This is vintage black.
01:20This is mud black.
01:21This is black ice.
01:22This is Jack Black black.
01:26Today, I'll show you the Paris I know and love.
01:35I'm actually in the process of getting my driver's license, but honestly, I don't feel
01:39like I need it in the city anyways.
01:42Public transportation here is really good.
01:44It's pretty quick and reliable, and it connects you to almost every corner of the city.
01:52If you're a student in Paris, a public transport subscription costs around 300 to 400 euros
01:57per year.
01:58And for non-students, it's around 800 to 900 euros, which seems high to me compared to
02:03other cities in Europe.
02:06Paris is a very walkable city, so I don't mind walking for 20 or 30 minutes.
02:11Paris is one of the most visited cities in the world.
02:15There's always a lot of tourists here.
02:19Maybe I'll live and work in the U.S. or Asia for a bit, but Paris is special, and I feel
02:25very lucky to call it home.
02:30The outfit is nice.
02:31The place is nice.
02:36Perfect.
02:38Oh!
02:40I love this one.
02:41Oh my God.
02:42Okay, thank you.
02:44Being surrounded by art and culture daily really changed how I saw the city.
02:48I think that really inspired me to pursue a career in fashion.
02:51Speaking of inspiration, I'm going to show you my favorite store to shop second-hand
02:55designer pieces.
02:56Let's go.
03:00Voila!
03:03This is my favorite section because it's all black.
03:08I like this one so much.
03:10I would probably wear skinny jeans with heels and a nude lip.
03:23My friends and I mostly shop second-hand.
03:28More than half of French 18 to 24-year-olds say they choose brands that promote ethical
03:32working conditions.
03:34That's definitely true for me and something I consider often in my work.
03:41My tip for Emily in Paris is to shop here.
03:53Now we're heading to my friend's showroom to check out her latest shoe collection.
03:59Hello.
04:04We do two kisses, la bise, and this is how we greet in France.
04:09Paris is all about collaboration and I love exploring what other creatives are up to.
04:15I mostly work as a stylist for e-commerce, but I would love to have more personal projects
04:20and collaborate with artists.
04:23Now let's go to one of my favorite cafes to have a break.
04:30Hi!
04:32How are you?
04:35This is the place where I bring everyone I meet, whether it's for work or to catch up on life.
04:45There's nothing more Parisian than sitting on a terrace and chat and have a sweet treat.
04:53Thanks for joining me for a day in my Paris.
04:56Bisous!
