Paris fandom just got a fairytale upgrade: the official Once Upon a Time Convention is back in France’s capital. On December 13 and 14, 2025, organizers Union Conventions will host “From Storybrooke to Paris 2,” a two-day immersive event celebrating ABC’s beloved fantasy series.
Jennifer Morrison Returns As Emma Swan
Fan favorite Jennifer Morrison (@jennifermorrison) confirmed her participation in a recent Instagram post. The actor—best known for her portrayal of Emma Swan from 2011 to 2018—shared a vibrant promo poster blending Storybrooke’s rustic clocktower with the Eiffel Tower’s silhouette. Morrison, who rose to fame in series like House and starred in films including Freeze Frame and Star Trek, didn’t hesitate to sign on for the sequel convention. Her presence promises Q&A panels, photo ops and autograph sessions.
In an earlier announcement (Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DK-UvaSsAsO/), the convention team noted in both French and English that Morrison’s “extra guest” tickets are already on sale. French caption: “Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan) est de retour avec nous … elle a hâte de tous vous revoir.” English caption: “Jennifer didn’t hesitate for a second to come back and she can’t wait to see you all again.”
Convention Highlights And Fan Experiences
Attendees can look forward to themed panels on character arcs, workshops on costuming and prop-making, and trivia contests covering every plot twist from Snow White’s rescue to Regina’s redemption. A special photo stage will recreate the Storybrooke town line—complete with lamppost—while a Parisian café corner will offer French pastries alongside series-inspired refreshments.
Union Conventions says the inaugural Paris edition in 2023 drew over 2,000 enthusiasts from across Europe. This time, they’ve expanded the expo floor to include vendor stalls selling exclusive artwork, replica Storybrooke signs, and handcrafted jewelry inspired by the Dark Curse saga.
About Once Upon A Time
Created by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, Once Upon a Time premiered on ABC in 2011. Across seven seasons, the show wove together fairy-tale characters trapped in the real world until Emma Swan—a bail-bond enforcer and the “Savior”—broke the curse. Jennifer Morrison’s performance earned critical praise, and her Emma Swan remains a cosplay and fan-fiction cornerstone.
French audiences have embraced the series; local fan clubs regularly host watch parties dubbed “Once Upon Une Nuit.” The Paris convention taps into that enthusiasm, pairing nostalgic panels with behind-the-scenes stories from cast and crew.
Ticket Options And Extras
Standard weekend passes grant access to all mainstage events, autograph lines and the vendor hall. For superfans, “Emma’s Extras” packages include a priority photo with Jennifer Morrison, a limited-edition lithograph signed by the cast, and front-row seating at key panels. Tickets are available at https://www.billetweb.fr/from-storybrooke-to-paris-2, with early-bird rates running through August 2025.
Want to immerse yourself further? Add-ons feature an exclusive Storybrooke walking tour through Parisian districts that inspired the show’s writers, plus a cosplay brunch where costumed guests mingle with cast members.
Fans traveling from abroad can book discounted hotel rates through the convention’s official partners. Shuttle buses will link major Paris train stations to the conference venue—a central exhibition hall near Gare de Lyon.
Embark on your own fairy-tale adventure this winter—and don’t forget your red leather jacket.
