Hi, I’m Manon
Hi, I’m Manon
I’ve lived in Paris for 28 years
I speak English, French
I am a Barista in a coffee shop
Born and raised in Paris, I know this city like the back of my hand and love uncovering its most authentic sides. Beyond the famous landmarks, there’s a vibrant local life—lively neighborhoods, character-filled cafés, hidden markets, and bistros where Parisians gather over a good glass of wine. As a barista from a family of pastry chefs, I can guarantee one of the best sweet treats of your life! A true design and vintage fashion lover, I’ll also take you treasure hunting in the best thrift stores and record shops. And to wrap up the day? A cozy underground concert, of course. I’m also passionate about Paris’ rich cultural scene, from tiny independent galleries to hidden museums that most tourists never hear about. My favorite areas? The heart of the Right Bank, where real Parisian life thrives, between historic streets and trendy hidden gems. Ready to experience Paris like a local? Follow me! ?♂️✨

My reviews
-
Manon was a truly wonderful guide for my husband and me! She was proactive in reaching out to us and arranged a customized itinerary that perfectly met our needs. As a Paris native, she had many great suggestions and even took time to ensure we were comfortable finding our way around the city and using public transportation for our time in Paris after the tour. We cannot recommend Manon and City Unscripted highly enough!
