Real Girlfriends in Paris season 1: release date, cast and everything we know about the reality series

Ooh là là! Bravo is welcoming a new series called Real Girlfriends in Paris to its fall lineup. If you’ve ever secretly wished to pack up your bags, move to the City of Lights and enjoy whirlwind friendships and romances, now you can live vicariously through six American women who did just that.

At first glance, Real Girlfriends in Paris may appear to have an air of Emily in Paris, the Netflix series starring Lily Collins as an American in Paris working for a French marketing firm. However, the major difference is that the Bravo show follows real women who have actually done what Lily’s character is portraying to do.

The new series is sure to light a fire in your traveling soul (even if you’ll only be a viewer from the comfort of your own couch). Plus, something tells us that we’re going to see some hot love affairs with swoon-worthy French men…

Here’s everything we know about Real Girlfriends in Paris.

Kacey Margo is from Southern California and fell in love with French culture when she traveled to Paris while taking a semester off in college. She was a temporary English teacher in a French classroom, however, instability has had her bouncing around between Paris, Los Angeles and New York for a few years.

She has attended some of the best schools in the world, including the American School in Paris, the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design. Marguax just moved into a new apartment in the Latin Quarter of Paris.

While each of the six American women live different lives — some are single, some are in between careers and some are still finding themselves — they all have one thing in common: they decided to leave everything they know about their hometowns in the United States and move to Paris.

These 20-something ladies have found each other and embrace everything the city has to offer — but not without some conflicts along the way.
