Bonjour!
I’m April Nicole
Your go-to girl for all things Paris & France
I’m a Paris travel blogger passionate about helping travelers explore France like a local. My love affair with Paris began in June 2019 when I first stepped off the train at Gare du Nord. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the city’s charm—its iconic landmarks, hidden cafés, and effortless elegance. That trip changed everything, and now I share my best insider tips to help you experience Paris beyond the tourist spots.
That first trip sparked something in me. By 2021, I had packed my bags and made Paris my home. Now, I spend my days uncovering the best of France—beyond the typical tourist spots—so that you can experience the country like a local.

Why I Started This Blog
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed when planning a trip to France. When I first visited, I relied on generic guides that didn’t help me experience the real Paris. I created this blog so you can travel confidently, knowing you have the best insider tips at your fingertips.
My goal? To help you turn your dream trip into reality—without the stress.
