Hi, I’m Elie

I’ve lived in Paris for 23 years

I speak English, French, Spanish

I am a Event planner

Hi, I’m Elie - born and raised in Paris and still endlessly inspired by it. I’m all about good vibes, great conversations, and discovering the little joys that make this city so magical. You’ll usually find me sipping coffee on a sunny terrace, checking out the latest art exhibition, or sharing my favorite spots for dinner and a night out. From the elegant 16th to the buzzing 2nd, I know these neighborhoods like the back of my hand. Whether you're craving world-class cuisine or want to dive into Paris’ nightlife, I’ve got you covered. Let’s explore the city like locals — with curiosity, laughter, and maybe a surprise or two along the way.

My reviews

    My husband, daughter and I were in Paris for the first time and I decided that a walking tour on our first morning would help us understand the layout of the city. Elie, our guide, contacted me before our trip to discuss what we wanted — and did not want — to see. He even helped me decide whether to bring cash (definitely do! Almost all shops accept credit cards, but we encountered at least one whose card service was down.) Elie warned me that our four-hour tour would be a lot of walking, and he was right. But we saw sights in at least 5 arrondissements, ate lots of amazing things, and learned history that was not explained to us on any of the other adventures we had in Paris. Thank you again, Elie, for an amazing orientation to Paris!
