Hi, I’m Raphael, your local host in Paris. What I love most about this city is how its energy never sleeps—whether I’m biking across the Seine at 3 am or sharing a picnic with friends in a quiet park, Paris always has something to offer. I know its hidden shortcuts, its rich layers of history, and the stories of the artists, rebels, and dreamers who shaped it. I spend time exploring the 11th, Belleville, Rue Mouffetard, and around the Canal Saint Martin—each with its own charm. I’m also deep into the city’s martial arts scene, so if you're curious, I’ve got the inside scoop. Paris isn’t just beautiful—it’s alive, creative, and endlessly inspiring. Let’s explore it together.
