Bonjour ! I am Élodie, a Parisian in love with my city for more than 30 years. In fact, I have been working for Paris my entire career, as a licensed tour guide, a volunteer greeter, and a travel trade specialist.

In the past I have lived in Montmartre and in the 10th arrondissement. Today I live in the 19th arrondissement, near Buttes Chaumont park: I enjoy being where it's lively, popular, simple, and where local life is the most authentic.

By working closely with visitors from all over the world I understand what they expect, I know what they struggle with, I see what is challenging, and I believe I can bring my expertise and experience to the rescue, to make your trip to Paris flawless, memorable and allow you to make the best choices in your itinerary. Ask me where to go to be away from the crowds, or how to get around with a bus or a Metro, or where to enter the Louvre the easy way! I'd love to share my tips and tricks.

I can advise you on the best way to get around, which Metro card to get for best value (and how to use it), which area to stay in depending on your lifestyle, what to visit absolutely and what to ignore, where to go for a (free) street art tour, where to go dance outdoors in the summer nights, which boat tour to choose, where to get real good croissants (and where not to) ... Ask me all you can't find or all you hesitate about.
