Mathilde, Paris insider and hospitality professional
« I've spent years in hospitality and traveling, so I know what makes a trip amazing. And what makes it stressful. When you're visiting Paris for the first time and planning your own adventure, you don't need more lists. You need someone who knows the city and gets what you're looking for. I've been sharing insider Paris addresses through my newsletter. But newsletters are for planning. Paris on the Spot is for when you're there. When you need to know: where should I eat? What's next? How do I handle this? Real recommendations. Practical tips. No overwhelm.»

FAQs
-
For each monument, you'll find restaurants (organized by use case like "quick lunch," "romantic dinner," or "kid-friendly"), activities for different time windows (30 minutes, 1-2 hours), practical logistics (toilets, ticket tips, best photo spots, timing), and local spots tourists don't usually find. Everything is curated, not just scraped from reviews.

First-time visitors to Paris who are planning their own trip. If you're the type who likes to be prepared, use it before your trip to build your itinerary.

Every recommendation in Paris on the Spot comes from my real experience, not algorithms or sponsored content. I've worked in hospitality for years and traveled extensively, so I know exactly what makes or breaks a trip. I understand what tourists actually need! Through my newsletter, French Address, I've been sharing insider Paris addresses with over 3,000 readers. Here's how I curate: I test everything personally. Every restaurant recommendation? I've eaten there, multiple times in most cases. Every practical tip about which entrance to use or where to find a quiet spot? I've walked it myself. Every activity suggestion? I've done it or seen trusted locals do it. When I recommend a café near the Eiffel Tower, it's because I've sat there, watched how tourists and locals interact with the space, checked the prices, tasted the food, and confirmed it delivers what first-timers actually want.

Even if you've booked your hotels and major activities, Paris on the Spot can help! Where to eat after the Louvre? What to do when it rains? Where's a good café for a break? The practical, on-the-spot decisions are where most planning falls short, right?

Free content makes you do all the work. Hours reading blogs, cross-referencing reviews, then still second-guessing yourself.
