Bonjour, I’m Mathilde

Every week, I discover new restaurants, visit exhibitions, and wander through neighborhoods for my newsletter, which 3,000 readers trust for honest recommendations.

But I wanted to go beyond the newsletter. I wanted to create something you could use in the moment, when you're actually in Paris and need an answer right now.

I've seen it so many times. Travelers debating their plans on a street corner. Families trying to navigate the Louvre without a clear direction. People waiting in long lines for places that don't live up to the hype. And I kept thinking, there's a better way.

Most Paris guides focus on telling you what to visit. But they don't answer the questions that actually come up during your trip. Like where to have lunch near the Eiffel Tower. What to do when you have two hours between your museum visit and dinner. Which entrance gets you inside faster.

I work in hospitality, and I've spent years living abroad, in places like Colombia and Brazil. I understand what it's like to be in a new city, where everything feels unfamiliar and you're trying to make the most of your time.

That's why I built Paris on the Spot. It's designed around the moments when you actually need help. You pick where you are or where you're going, choose what you need (finding your next activity, making logistics easier, or adapting when plans shift), and you get specific, practical tips. Where to eat near the monument you just visited. What to do with unexpected free time. The best entrance to use. The quiet spot for photos. All the details that make your day flow better.

Here's what I love about Paris. Every time I see the Eiffel Tower light up at night, it still makes me smile. I don't take this city for granted. I'm constantly discovering something new, and that sense of wonder is exactly what I want you to experience when you're here.

Paris welcomes millions of visitors every year because it has so much to offer. This app is my way of sharing the kind of advice I'd give you if we were sitting together over coffee, and you asked me what you should do today.
