Yes, the “McBaguette” from “Emily in Paris” Season 3 Really Does Exist

In the season 3 premiere of Emily in Paris, our fave marketing executive brings an unlikely new client to Savoir — er, we mean Agence Grateau.

Emily Cooper’s ex, Doug, calls from Chicago and announces that he’s been named the Associate Manager of Global Partnerships for McDonald’s. He reveals that Mickey D’s is searching for a marketing firm in France to launch a fancy new snack named the “McBaguette” — and he wants to give the account to our leading lady.

Emily has trouble pitching the client to Sylvie, considering she doesn’t consider the Golden Arches luxe enough — but after Gabriel takes her to lunch at the ultra-chic McDonald’s on Champs-Elysees, Em realizes its potential as “un petit plaisir,” or a little luxury.

Although the presentation doesn’t go *exactly* as planned for Emily, Sylvie, Julien, and Luc, we simply cannot stop thinking about the McBaguette.

Turns out, the savory snack is real and can be purchased at McDonald’s throughout France. The sandwich is a French spin on the classic hamburger with two hamburger patties, lettuce, Swiss cheese, and mustard on a crispy baguette.

According to NBC News, the product first rolled out in French McDonald’s in April 2012 as a limited-edition item. It was introduced at 1,228 restaurants, and since then, has reappeared on the menu once a year for short spans of time.

Unfortunately, McBaguettes are not available for purchase in the United States — but for those in France, you could snag an Emily in Paris-branded meal at McDonald’s locations across the country, complete with the McBaguette (obvi), fries, a drink, and of course, macarons. Ooh la la.
