Paris by Emily, which has been inspired by the TV show Emily in Paris, will be the first travel trip offered by the joint collaboration.

The award-winning Netflix show follows the antics of an American woman named Emily who moves from Chicago to Paris for work.

Netflix trips to the French capital will take place in small groups of eight to 16 people, and are expected to last between four and five nights.

Groups will be led, and curated by, lifestyle influencers who will be known as 'Emileaders'.

The French holidays will include a behind-the-scenes tour of popular locations, a pastry-making class, a Palais Royal Content Capture experience, and a French lesson at a Parisian cafe.

Other key features are said to include a visit to a private designer atelier, a masterclass on the art of French seduction, and a Spritz cocktail-making session.

Some meals will also be provided on the trip including four breakfasts, two evening meals, and two Aperitifs (after-dinner drinks).

Charaf El Mansouri, CEO at DHARMA, said: "We crafted these ‘Paris by Emily’ trips to ensure guests leave Paris with something far more meaningful than just a souvenir beret and some photos. Our core conviction is that the future of travel is not about the where but the why."
