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!
I’ve served countless international clients, from brand new tourists wanting the rarest taste of the city, to returning visitors looking to discover a side of Paris they haven’t seen. I’ve even helped people relocate to Paris the way that I did!
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.

So…why The Ultimate Paris Survival Guide?
Hey, I’m Selene “Céline” 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.

“Paris is a challenging city – but this thorough and well-organized guide is the ideal planning tool to help you tackle it. There are more good tips here than most Parisians can offer!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Reading Selene’s guide brought me straight back to when I first fell in love with this enchanting city 8 years ago! As a fellow adopted Parisian, I can truly say that she captured this city perfectly, packaged it up beautifully with a big bow, and then delivered it directly to your inbox. A gift I wish I had when I first arrived! Selene’s guidance is invaluable, highly detailed, and spot-on for both travelers and new Parisians alike!“

“As an expat for 13 years, I can confidently say I have never seen such a comprehensive, useful and enjoyable Paris guide. Fantastique!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Wow! Where to start? I am just loving every bit of this book, it is insanely rich, practical and exhaustive, at the same time so pretty and fun to read through. But on top of all that, what strikes me the most is at the very beginning: Where My Paris Story Begins: Céline à Paris. I was almost in tears while reading this part, because I saw myself, it was also MY story. I guess it must be the story of so many people who came to Paris without knowing one word of French but stayed forever. Paris changed our lives and set us free, it will also change yours and help you to find your true self. Next time when you are about to come to Paris, make sure you have this book with you, that will be a magical trip…”

“I pride myself on knowing Paris like the back of my hand..but Selene is the one person I’ll call for the scoop I know I’m missing. Though I’ve done my research and spent a good period of time running around the City of Light, I still wanted to take notes on all the places Selene recommends that I didn’t know about…and there were a lot! Whether you’re just looking for a taste of the real Paris or want a curated experience (long or short term), she’ll make it happen.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“This is the most comprehensive, thorough presentation of Paris, written with passion and love by Selene. I wish I had this Parisian handbook and roadmap when I arrived in August 2021… but with all of the things I haven’t seen and done yet that are featured in this survival guide, I will need to keep coming back again and again. A must-have for any global citizen like me! Congratulations Selene for a masterpiece and masterclass of all things Paris!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The mix of storytelling, stunning illustrations, helpful resources, and time-saving tips and tricks to get the most out of your experience in the City of Light makes this a must-read for travelers coming to Paris. While comprehensive, the ebook is cozy and comforting. With Selene by your side, you can almost feel the magic that’s in store for you when you finally do arrive.”
