Paris & Me - Travel

Paris the way a local would show you: the places worth your time, the ones to skip, and days that fall into place. Your whole trip, in your pocket — free.

Paris, honestly.

Paris & Me is a hand-built travel guide to Paris: an interactive map, first-person reviews of places I have actually been, and the practical advice that keeps a trip from going sideways. No sponsors, no ads, nothing to buy.

Too many travellers leave Paris disappointed — not because of the city, but for lack of the right information. This is the opposite of a scraped top-10 list: 100 places picked one by one, each with a real opinion attached.

A MAP AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING • Monuments, restaurants and activities on a single map of Paris • Filter by arrondissement, or use Around Me to sort every place by real distance • Tap a pin for the story, the hours, the price and my verdict

30 MONUMENTS, TOLD PROPERLY • The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre-Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, Montmartre and 25 more • Hours, ticket prices, whether booking is worth it — and the tip that saves you an hour in line • A History of Paris to read end to end, with key dates from Lutetia to today

RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS, HONESTLY REVIEWED • 30 tables: bistros, brasseries, hidden cocktail bars — with the exact street address • 17 hotels, from budget rooms to palaces, with price ranges that match reality • Written in the first person: what I love, and where it falls short

YOUR TRIP, COMPOSED IN THREE TAPS • Tell it where you are staying, how many days, and the mood — classic, culture, family, romantic or party • Get coherent days: a morning visit, lunch, an afternoon, dinner, an evening out • Open any day on the map, then swap what does not suit you

TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE • The scams that actually target visitors: how each one is set up, the warning signs, what to do • Transport — metro, Navigo, RER, getting in from the airport, walking and cycling • Etiquette and the few French phrases that change how you are treated • Staying aware at night, by situation — never by pointing at a neighbourhood • Emergency numbers one tap away: 112, 15 (ambulance), 17 (police), 18 (fire), 114 (by SMS)

20 CHALLENGES, ONE PARIS PASSPORT • Small missions rather than a checklist: a viewpoint at the right hour, a taste, an offbeat corner • Tick them off as you go and watch your passport fill up

READABLE WITHOUT A SIGNAL Every word of the guide ships inside the app — monuments, addresses, tips and history stay readable in the metro, underground, or with roaming switched off.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic — the content itself, not just the menus.

FREE, AND THAT IS ALL No subscription, no in-app purchase, no advertising, no third-party analytics. Your favourites, your trip and your preferences stay on your phone.
