Paris Travel Tips by a Local
Are you planning a dream trip to Paris, France? Let me help you turn that dream into reality.
Paris is a wonderful city and one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations. Bisected by the Seine River from east to west, Paris is well known for its beautiful architecture, cultural scene, the Eiffel Tower, and other iconic landmarks. The food in Paris is great too!
With such a rich history, varied neighborhoods, and an incredible array of museums, shops, Seine River cruises, and restaurants, a trip to Paris is always a good idea, but it can be hard to choose where to go and what to see.
Welcome to this Paris travel blog from a local who actually lives here – not an expat tourist! You’ll find everything, from must-sees, neighborhood guides, and hidden gems to practical advice to plan your perfect holiday.
