Tell me if this sounds like you…

• You’ve spent years dreaming about booking a ticket to Paris, but have never pulled the trigger.
• You’re afraid you can’t afford Paris, or don’t know enough French to navigate the city.
• You don’t know the best time to come, how long you should stay, or what you should do…
• …and you’re worried you’ll miss out on the best Paris has to offer, simply because you don’t know how to think like a savvy local.

The truth is that Paris can have quite a learning curve—especially for those unfamiliar with French culture!

But what if there was a way to feel confident that the Paris of your dreams is not only possible but absolutely achievable? A way to skip past the language barriers, bureaucracy, and rampant tourist scams?

A way you might even pass as a savvy Parisian yourself?

Enter The Ultimate Paris Survival Guide. When I moved to Paris with no job, no French skills, and no place to live, I would have given anything for a guide just like this one.

So… I wrote it.

I’ve been in Paris for nearly a decade now, and trust me—I’ve made all the mistakes. From…

Ordering a “coffee” and automatically getting what I know as an espresso!

~ to ~

Getting scammed for bottled water when I just wanted a free “carafe d’eau” or a carafe of water…

~ to ~

Throwing away my metro ticket before arriving at my destination and getting a fine, even though I had bought a ticket!

~ to ~

Falling for tourist scams and ending up with crappy ‘made in china’ souvenirs…

~ to ~

Paying stupid amounts for a not-so-great dinner in a tourist restaurant (photos on the menu is a bad sign!).

~ to ~

Not knowing that a bottle of 5€ wine can actually be pretty good 🙂

I’ve done it all in Paris.

Navigating the City of Light hasn’t always been easy, but I had a dream about experiencing Paris my way, and I made it happen. Now, I’m a professional concierge in the City of Light, and an expert in all things Parisian, and I’m sharing all my hardwon secrets with you.

Paris is an attainable dream, you just need a little savoir-faire!

This guide has been nearly a decade in the making. Now you can have the savvy of a Parsian and the expertise of a concierge in your pocket.

The Ultimate Paris Survival Guide will help you feel 100% confident in your plans for Paris, no matter who you are or what you wish to achieve in the City of Light.

Riding bikes along the banks of the Grand Canal at Versailles…

Picnicking in the gardens of historic châteaux, with a fresh baguette and pain au chocolat…

Reading a good book along the Seine, the sunshine on your back…

Spinning under the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower…

So…why The Ultimate Paris Survival Guide?

Hey, I’m Selene Flores, American-turned-Parisian and founder of Céline Concierge. In 2013, I took a leap of faith and moved over 5,000 miles across the ocean with very little knowledge of the French language and a massive vision for my life that was too powerful to resist! Now, I spend my time helping fellow Francophiles and dreamers like me make the most of their time here in the City of Light.

After nearly a decade living as an expat in Paris, I’m well versed in leaps of faith and All Things Parisian. I’ve spent years learning to navigate the city as both a foreigner and as a local, and I can say without a doubt that Paris is the most magical city in the world. What once felt like an absurd dream—moving to Paris on a whim with only my heart and instinct to guide me—was the best choice I’ve ever made.

Between my personal experiences in this city and my professional ones as a concierge, I know how to make Paris easy, accessible, and fun for anyone who dreams of visiting, studying, or moving here.

I began to wonder… what if I’d had all of these tips and tricks when I first came here? I’d have saved myself so many faux-pas, not to mention time and stress!

I may have had to learn Paris the hard way, but it was worth it because now I’m passionate about helping others discover the Paris of their dreams—without all the trial and error.
