Paris & Me

The intimate guide to Paris

Paris & Me

An app that speaks of Paris the way you would confide it to a friend: its monuments told as stories, its tables chosen with care, its manners and its ways — free, and in eight languages.

Free mobile app · Coming to the App Store and Google Play

Manifesto

A certain idea of the visit

Paris is not to be visited: it is to be told. Behind every façade there is a story, behind every table a hand — and the traveller deserves better than a list of places. They deserve a voice walking beside them.

Paris & Me is written in the first person. Every monument is narrated, every restaurant has been visited, every piece of advice is the kind you give a friend on the eve of their departure. Nothing is mass-generated, nothing is bought, nothing is copied.

The app

What the traveller carries

  1. The map

    Monuments and tables gathered on a single map, filterable by arrondissement, with an “around me” mode that sorts places by real distance.

  2. Monuments, told

    Pages that tell the story of a place — what happened there, what to look for — not merely its opening hours and ticket price.

  3. The table

    A tight selection of restaurants, each one visited, each one told in the first person. No house pays to appear, and none reads what is written before you do.

  4. The ways of the city

    Transport, politeness and useful phrases, common scams, staying alert at night: what you tell a friend before they leave.

  5. The composed stay

    A day-by-day itinerary, challenges by category, favourites: the whole stay takes shape in your pocket, and the content stays readable offline.

  6. Eight languages

    French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic: the same care, in the traveller’s own language.

Commitments

Free, independent, discreet

No advertising

No banners, no sponsored content, no in-app purchases, no subscription. The app is free — entirely.

No complacency

Reviews are personal opinions, never paid for. No establishment has any say over what is written about it.

No indiscretion

No data resale, no advertising trackers, no third-party analytics. The details, in plain words, are in the privacy policy.

To institutions & great houses

You watch over a place we write about

Monuments, museums, cultural institutions, houses and tables: if your establishment appears in Paris & Me, it is because it matters to the Paris we tell. That presence is editorial: it cannot be bought and cannot be negotiated — which is precisely what makes it worth having.

An opening time to correct, a historical detail to set right, a cultural project, a visit to arrange: the editorial desk reads every message and replies personally.
