About

I’m Alain, a Parisian who has been living in Paris for over 35 years. On Paris Top Tips, I help you visit Paris the right way. Every week, you’ll find practical, no-nonsense videos designed to make your trip smoother, smarter, and more enjoyable. This is not about postcard views or generic sightseeing—it’s about giving you the tools to experience Paris like someone who knows it inside out. Where to stay, how to get around, which neighborhoods to explore, where to eat, which places are truly worth your time—and which ones to avoid. Everything is based on real, on-the-ground experience. This channel is also built around you. If there’s a topic you’d like me to cover, just leave a comment or reach out through the community tab—I read them all and use your ideas to shape future videos.
