Curated
Recommendations
I love curating recommendations based on exactly what you want out of your Paris trip!
✅ Types of recommendations I can help with:
Classic sites, coffee shops (laptop-free and laptop-friendly), restaurants (French and otherwise), wine bars, cocktail bars, speakeasies, museums, parks, activities, guided tours, day trips, and more.
⚠️ Types of recommendations I have limited knowledge of:
Nightlife & clubbing, high-end shopping, Instagram photo spots,
🎯 Please be as specific as possible - especially for the Standard 10 Recs package - when describing what kinds of curated recommendations you want. For example, for an order of 10 recs, you can say "I want 2 French restaurants, 3 coffee shops (including 1 that's laptop-friendly), 2 museums that don't include the Louvre, 1 day trip, and 2 parks," or "I want 4 laptop-friendly cafes, 3 off the beaten path experiences, and 3 classic sites." For Premium and Luxe packages, you can say more generally what 'mix' or recs you prefer and I will do my best to provide a good balance.

ABOUT
Hello et bonjour ! I'm (another) American in Paris.
I've lived in France since 2016 and I loooove sharing my Paris & France recs in hopes I can help others love this city and country as much as I do. I'm quite confident I've seen more of France than most French people, so no matter what you're looking for, I've (probably) done it!
✅ What I'm a great fit for: Mature travelers, couples, solo travelers, and families who enjoy soaking in authentic experiences, great food and wine, off-the-beaten-track gems, classic sites, and sustainable travel.
🌱 What's sustainable travel about? Traveling in a way that is kind to the environment, respectful of local culture, & supportive of the local economy. My trip-planning services are always through a sustainable lens.
❌ What I'm not a great fit for: Travelers focused on bars/clubbing or high-end shopping.
➡️ Follow me on TikTok, Instagram & Pinterest @hilaryinparis for Paris & France recommendations, tips, personal stories, and more.
🌍 PS: I'm on Thatch because I genuinely love sharing France with folks. My day job is running Yugen Earthside, a booking platform for responsible package trips primarily catering to groups of mature American travelers. My company's website is linked below.

Questions
Can I book more than one travel creator at the same time?
Yes! In fact, many of our customers book multiple travel creators for help with various aspects of their trip. For example, you can have a consultation call with one creator, but then book another to plan and organize your itinerary.
Is there guarantee in case I am dissatisfied in the service?
