Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) is a handsome chef who lives in Emily's building. Emily first meets him when they bump into each other in their building, and they eventually find themselves enjoying each other's company. Despite both clearly having feelings for the other, they don't act on it (right away), because it turns out Gabriel has a girlfriend, Camille. Gabriel realises that to follow his dream of opening his own restaurant, he will have to move back home to Normandy, so he and Camille break up. He and Emily also admit their feelings for each other and hook up — but then Gabriel doesn't leave! The season one finale ends with Gabriel deciding to stay in Paris and Camille telling him that they should discuss things since he's not leaving after all.
