§ II — About
Hidden Paris courtyard — Galerie Frank Elbaz
A hidden courtyard, Paris
The kind you find only if you know

Your consultant — Lili

The city needs no introduction.
I do.

Born and raised in Paris, I've spent my whole life learning this city, its rhythms, its secrets, its neighbourhoods that never make it into the guidebooks.

Before becoming your Paris consultant, I worked for years as an event coordinator and PR professional in the worlds of art, luxury and hospitality. That background taught me one thing above all: the details make all the difference.

I'm also a mum of two teenagers, which means I know how to make Paris work for every kind of traveller. I live right in the heart of Paris, and I experience the city in real time.

When you book a session with me, you're not getting a list, you're getting a conversation with someone who genuinely loves this place and wants you to love it too.

§ III — Testimonials

From readers

Words from those who found their open Paris.

"

I came alone in February, a little nervous. Lili built me an itinerary around bookshops, small wine bars and a covered market I would never have found. I didn't see a single tour group the whole week. It felt like the city was mine.

"

We wanted a family micro-event, nothing big, just something that felt real. Lili organised a private dinner in a courtyard restaurant in the 11th. No tourists, no theatre. My parents still talk about it.

§ V — FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need before you arrive.

How far in advance should I book?

As soon as possible — especially peak season (spring and summer). That said, I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests.

Sessions in English or French?

Both! I work fluently in English and French, so we go with whatever feels most comfortable for you.

What happens after our session?

For video calls, you receive a written summary and resource sheet. For in-person sessions, I'm available for follow-up questions afterwards.

Can I book more than one session?

Absolutely. Many clients book a video call before their trip and an in-person session once they arrive — it's a great combination.

I've already planned everything — can you still help?

Yes — I offer itinerary reviews too. I'll spot the gaps and help you make it even better.

Do you work with families and groups?

Of course. I adapt every session — solo, couple, family with kids, friends, business travellers,all welcome!

What values guide your work?

Supporting local, independent businesses — neighbourhood bistros, boutiques, artisan makers. Proudly eco-conscious too.

How does payment work?

No upfront payment — settle via PayPal after your session, and your PDF recap follows immediately.
