The colors, the clothes, the flirtations, the unapologetic sparkle \u2014 it\u2019s a show that knows exactly what it is and refuses to apologize for being fun. I love that about it. I love the escapism, the fashion, the way Paris glows like a curated postcard. <\/p>\n<p>But loving the show doesn\u2019t mean I buy into the fantasy anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Not as an American.<\/p>\n<p>And definitely not as someone whose family lived the complicated truth behind that postcard.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>The American Abroad Fantasy Doesn\u2019t Hit the Same<\/h2>\n<p>There was a time when shows like <em>Emily in Paris<\/em> made me want to pack a suitcase and wander cobblestone streets. But the world has shifted. Being an American abroad doesn\u2019t feel carefree or charming anymore. It feels\u2026 watched. Judged. Sometimes unwelcome.<\/p>\n<p>The show sells a version of France where Americans are quirky, harmless, and easily forgiven. Real life doesn\u2019t always extend that grace.<\/p>\n<p>And for me, the disconnect runs deeper than modern politics or cultural tension. It\u2019s generational.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>A Relationship Already Strained by History \u2014 and Strained Again Today<\/h2>\n<p>If we\u2019re being honest, <em>Emily in Paris<\/em> arrives at a moment when the real\u2011world relationship between the United States and France is already tense. And that tension isn\u2019t new \u2014 it\u2019s part of a long, uneven history between the two countries. There have been moments of deep alliance, but also moments of open conflict: the Quasi\u2011War of the 1790s, the diplomatic meltdown of the XYZ Affair, France\u2019s withdrawal from NATO\u2019s command structure in the 1960s, and the bitter divide over the Iraq War in 2003. Even today, disagreements over trade, climate policy, and public political remarks continue to create friction between Washington and Paris. So when a show paints France as effortlessly charmed by an American newcomer, it feels out of sync with the reality that this is one of the most strained periods in modern Franco\u2011American relations \u2014 socially, politically, and culturally.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>My Family\u2019s French\u2013Vietnamese Story Lives Under the Surface<\/h2>\n<p>My grandmother wrote <em>Saigon Is Burning<\/em>, a book that documents the French\u2013Vietnamese experience from the inside \u2014 not the romanticized version, but the lived one.<\/p>\n<p>My family is Swiss French and Vietnamese.<\/p>\n<p>My great\u2011grandmother was French and Vietnamese.<\/p>\n<p>We were what the French called <em>M\u00e9tis<\/em> \u2014 mixed.<\/p>\n<p>And in colonial Vietnam, that wasn\u2019t a poetic descriptor. It was a category. A limitation. A reminder.<\/p>\n<p>Without a French last name, you couldn\u2019t get certain jobs.<\/p>\n<p>You couldn\u2019t access certain schools.<\/p>\n<p>You couldn\u2019t move freely in the world the way Emily Cooper does with her bright wardrobe and brighter optimism.<\/p>\n<p>Some of my relatives had to marry or be adopted just to gain a French surname \u2014 not for love, but for survival. And even then, acceptance was conditional. You were never fully French. Never fully Vietnamese. Always something in between.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of history doesn\u2019t disappear. It echoes.<\/p>\n<p><!-- SWEETNESS OF SURVIVAL \u2014 ENGLISH (NO TITLE) --><\/p>\n<p>I carry Vietnamese, French, Swiss, and American blood \u2014 and I carry it proudly. My grandmother escaped Vietnam before the war, bilingual and brave, her story folded into mine. The French influence runs through our food and our future; in every pastry, there\u2019s a softness and a strength that belong to both worlds. Vietnamese desserts are a quiet miracle \u2014 delicate, defiant, and born from history. Without France, I don\u2019t know where my family would be. But I know this: we are here. And we are beautiful.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>The Show\u2019s Paris Isn\u2019t My Family\u2019s Paris<\/h2>\n<p>So when I watch <em>Emily in Paris<\/em>, I enjoy it \u2014 truly. But I also feel the gap between the fantasy and the truth my family lived through.<\/p>\n<p>The show\u2019s Paris is glossy, forgiving, and uncomplicated.<\/p>\n<p>My family\u2019s Paris \u2014 the one that shaped our identity \u2014 was layered with hierarchy, exclusion, and the quiet ache of never belonging anywhere completely.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to unsee that once you know it.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Loving the Show Doesn\u2019t Mean Ignoring the Truth<\/h2>\n<p>I can adore the fashion, the humor, the escapism. I can appreciate the joy of a show that doesn\u2019t pretend to be anything other than entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>But I also carry the stories of my grandmother, my great\u2011grandmother, and the generations who navigated a France that didn\u2019t look like a postcard.<\/p>\n<p>So no \u2014 <em>Emily in Paris<\/em> doesn\u2019t make me want to visit France anymore.<\/p>\n<p>It makes me think about identity, belonging, and the way history lingers in the background of even the brightest scenes.<\/p>\n<p>And maybe that\u2019s its own kind of clarity.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<hr>\n<p><!-- ========================= --><\/p>\n<p><!--        FRENCH VERSION     --><\/p>\n<p><!-- ========================= --><\/p>\n<section id=\"french\">\n<h2>Emily in Paris est charmante \u2014 mais elle ne me donne plus envie de visiter la France<\/h2>\n<p>Il y a quelque chose d\u2019ind\u00e9niablement d\u00e9licieux dans <em>Emily in Paris<\/em>.

J\u2019aime l\u2019\u00e9vasion, la mode, la fa\u00e7on dont Paris brille comme une carte postale soigneusement compos\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<p>Mais aimer la s\u00e9rie ne veut pas dire que j\u2019ach\u00e8te encore le fantasme.<\/p>\n<p>Pas en tant qu\u2019Am\u00e9ricaine.<\/p>\n<p>Et certainement pas en tant que personne dont la famille a v\u00e9cu la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 compliqu\u00e9e derri\u00e8re cette carte postale.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Le fantasme de l\u2019Am\u00e9ricaine \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger ne r\u00e9sonne plus<\/h3>\n<p>Il fut un temps o\u00f9 des s\u00e9ries comme <em>Emily in Paris<\/em> me donnaient envie de faire une valise et de marcher sur des rues pav\u00e9es. Mais le monde a chang\u00e9. \u00catre Am\u00e9ricaine \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger ne semble plus insouciant ou charmant. Cela semble\u2026 observ\u00e9. Jug\u00e9. Parfois ind\u00e9sirable.<\/p>\n<p>La s\u00e9rie vend une version de la France o\u00f9 les Am\u00e9ricains sont excentriques, inoffensifs et facilement pardonn\u00e9s. La vraie vie n\u2019offre pas toujours cette indulgence.<\/p>\n<p>Et pour moi, le d\u00e9calage va plus loin que la politique moderne ou les tensions culturelles. Il est g\u00e9n\u00e9rationnel.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Une relation d\u00e9j\u00e0 tendue par l\u2019histoire \u2014 et encore plus aujourd\u2019hui<\/h3>\n<p>Soyons honn\u00eates : <em>Emily in Paris<\/em> arrive \u00e0 un moment o\u00f9 la relation r\u00e9elle entre les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis et la France est d\u00e9j\u00e0 fragile. Et cette fragilit\u00e9 n\u2019est pas nouvelle \u2014 elle fait partie d\u2019une longue histoire irr\u00e9guli\u00e8re entre les deux pays. Il y a eu des alliances profondes, mais aussi des conflits ouverts : la quasi\u2011guerre des ann\u00e9es 1790, le scandale diplomatique de l\u2019Affaire XYZ, le retrait de la France du commandement int\u00e9gr\u00e9 de l\u2019OTAN dans les ann\u00e9es 1960, et la fracture am\u00e8re autour de la guerre en Irak en 2003. Aujourd\u2019hui encore, les d\u00e9saccords sur le commerce, le climat et les d\u00e9clarations publiques entretiennent les tensions. Alors quand une s\u00e9rie montre une France facilement charm\u00e9e par une Am\u00e9ricaine, cela sonne faux \u2014 surtout dans l\u2019un des moments les plus tendus des relations franco\u2011am\u00e9ricaines modernes.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>L\u2019histoire franco\u2011vietnamienne de ma famille vit sous la surface<\/h3>\n<p>Ma grand\u2011m\u00e8re a \u00e9crit <em>Saigon Is Burning<\/em>, un livre qui raconte l\u2019exp\u00e9rience franco\u2011vietnamienne de l\u2019int\u00e9rieur \u2014 pas la version romanc\u00e9e, mais la version v\u00e9cue.<\/p>\n<p>Ma famille est suisse, fran\u00e7aise et vietnamienne.<\/p>\n<p>Mon arri\u00e8re\u2011grand\u2011m\u00e8re \u00e9tait fran\u00e7aise et vietnamienne.<\/p>\n<p>Nous \u00e9tions ce que les Fran\u00e7ais appelaient <em>M\u00e9tis<\/em> \u2014 m\u00e9tiss\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p>Et dans le Vietnam colonial, ce n\u2019\u00e9tait pas un mot po\u00e9tique.
