Experience the City like a Parisian

In this guide, I share my favorite things to do, see, eat, drink, and experience. I focus on the Paris districts (arrondissements in French) I most enjoy spending time in.

The guide is (1) a comprehensive resource with French language & culture tips created by a Paris native for people who want to experience Paris like a Parisian, (2) a personal homage to Paris, honoring both traditional and trendy new places and (3) an inclusive guide, aimed at tailoring a Parisian experience for all kinds of people, featuring sections on LGBTQIA+ life in Paris; and vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free; and non-French cuisines. My hope is that you’ll fall in love with Paris, too - whether it’s your first visit or your 20th.

I’m Cécilia, I was born and raised in Paris, and moved to the US in 2007. I now live in New York City, and I spend about 1/3 of the year in France. You may think that to a native Parisian, Paris is not as magical as it may feel to foreigners. However, I am still in awe of the City of Light and love wandering the streets of the French capital. I still enjoy finding hidden treasures in this magnificent city, making new meaningful connections, and opening myself to the endless wonders of Paris. I created this unique guide after receiving countless requests from my wonderful Francophile Hello French community to share my favorite places in Paris.
