Bonjour from Paris!
Welcome to World in Paris, the only Paris guide written by a French who actually lives there – not an expat tourist.
I'm Elisa, and I am a local in Paris. I've explored all 20 arrondissements, visited Notre Dame and the Louvre more times than I can count, and can tell you about countless hidden gems along the way.
Whether this is your first time in Paris or your tenth, I share insider knowledge that comes from actually living here – from navigating tourist attractions like a pro to finding the neighborhood bistros where locals eat.
Skip the generic guidebooks. Get the real Paris from someone who calls it home.
