**Paris, France** – In a surprising turn of events, French President Emmanuel Macron has declared his country’s intention to keep Netflix’s hit show “Emily in Paris” from relocating to Rome.

The show, which follows the adventures of American marketing executive Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), has become a cultural phenomenon, boosting tourism to Paris. A recent study revealed that nearly 10% of tourists visited France after being inspired by movies or series, with “Emily in Paris” playing a key role.

However, the show’s creator, Darren Star, has confirmed that Emily will be moving to Rome for the upcoming season. While Rome’s Mayor Roberto Gualtieri jokingly welcomed Emily, President Macron has taken a more serious stance.

“We will ask them to remain in Paris,” Macron told Variety Magazine. “Emily in Paris in Rome doesn’t make sense.”

Macron’s stance may stem from his personal connection to the show, as his wife, Brigitte Macron, made a cameo appearance in season four. Macron expressed his pride in his wife’s involvement, stating, “It’s just a few minutes, but I think it was a very good moment for her.”

Despite some criticism for its reliance on Parisian clichés, Macron views the show as a positive for France. He believes it has “super positive” implications for the country’s attractiveness.

While the final decision rests with Netflix, Macron’s vocal opposition is a strong indication of France’s desire to keep “Emily in Paris” within its borders. The show’s impact on tourism and the nation’s image is a factor the French government is clearly taking seriously.
