Honeymoon in Paris: A Guide From a Parisian Who Now Lives in Texas

I was born in Paris. I left. And that's exactly why I see it differently.

When you live in a city, you stop looking at it. When you leave, you get back the eyes of a stranger — but with the memory of a local. That's the perspective I bring to every client who dreams of Paris.

What I will never do:

1. Put you in a generic hotel near the Champs-Élysées
2. Book the Eiffel Tower at a random hour
3. Suggest Montmartre without telling you to go before 8 AM

What Paris actually gives you when you know where to look:

1. The Aligre market on a Saturday morning, with its cheese vendors and locals arguing affectionately over produce
2. A private hôtel particulier in Le Marais with a courtyard that nobody photographs
3. The Seine at sunset from Pont de Sully — not Pont des Arts

I don't build tourist itineraries to Paris. I build stories that couples from Dallas and Fort Worth will be telling for years.

Planning a honeymoon in France? I know this city better than my own backyard.
