This Emily in Paris trivia quiz has 45 free questions with answers and covers all five seasons of the Netflix hit and the sixth and final one to come: Emily's move from Chicago to Savoir, Sylvie, Julien and Luc, Mindy's secret fortune, Gabriel downstairs, Camille's champagne family, Antoine's perfume house, Pierre Cadault and his rival, Alfie from French class, Nicolas and JVMA, Marcello, Megève and the Rome and Venice seasons. It also asks about the show itself: Darren Star and the Sex and the City connection, the Paramount Network order and the Netflix move, Place de l'Estrapade and the other locations, the wardrobe, the soundtrack, the Golden Globes trip, the Petra controversy, Brigitte Macron's cameo, the 'Emily effect' on tourism, and Lily Collins's own story. Easy questions suit anyone who has binged a season; the hard ones want the hotel that hosted the Globe voters and the Swedish bedmaker Savoir pitched. Every answer has been checked against the encyclopaedia entries for the series and its stars, and each question shows its source once you have answered.
