Paris is currently facing two major issues: the ongoing protests against President Emmanuel Macron’s proposed pension reform bill and a trash crisis due to sanitation workers striking. Amidst all this chaos, two British influencers, Grace Shadrack and Grace Foley, went viral on TikTok after posting a video showing the trash piled up in the streets, set to the theme song of the Netflix show “Emily in Paris”.
The 20-year-old friends, who spent the last year traveling the world, recently decided to move to Paris, largely inspired by the show they adore. They now live just a few minutes away from the square where the show was filmed. Their video, which has garnered over 11 million views, shows the overflowing trash of the city in a glamorous light, with the Emily In Paris original song, “Mon Soleil” by Ashley Park, playing in the background.
