November RECAP: Memories Made Together!
This November has been a whirlwind of amazing tours, delightful conversations, and unforgettable moments with so many of you! One highlight I’m thrilled to share is the launch of my new Niche Perfume Houses Tour – a special experience designed to help you discover your signature scent. Over three delightful hours, we explore some of Paris’ most unique perfumeries, sampling luxurious fragrances and learning the stories behind them. We wrap up this sensory adventure with a toast of champagne (or tea/coffee if you prefer) – it’s the perfect mix of fun, learning, and indulgence. Feel free to message me if you’d like to know more or book a spot for December! myparisianlife@gmail.com
Here are a few snapshots of my wonderful clients from November – look at these smiles!

Book Update: New Progress & Surprises
As many of you know, my book Local Paris – 12 Neighbourhoods to Discover has been a labor of love. While we’ve had a few hiccups, I’m excited to say we’re still moving forward! We’ve reworked the final design and added some fabulous new sketches that you’re going to adore. Plus, we’re brainstorming some fun extras like stickers inspired by Parisian life – what do you think? Would you love some book-themed stickers? Let me know in the comments!

Celebrating Life: Thanksgiving & Pierre’s Birthday
November wasn’t all work and no play. We hosted a warm and lively Thanksgiving dinner in Montmartre with some of our closest friends. It was a beautiful mix of cultures, with French, Canadian, and American friends coming together to share in gratitude. I made my famous Jamaican oxtail with rice and peas, paired with a sesame chocolate cake that was a hit! We savored natural wines, champagne, and finished the night with Guatemalan and Jamaican rum. It was a night filled with laughter, stories, and the kind of joy that makes Montmartre feel like home.
Benoit surprised me with a Classical Music night inside Eglise Saint Eustache and I almost froze my ass off – as the church was not heated – BUT OMG!!! the experience was a 10/10 with a harpist and later joined by a full choir!! I only have this photo of me and Luna to show you guys the pretty date night dress 🙂 well…
And we also celebrated Pierre’s birthday with equal zest! Another chance to gather, indulge, and toast to life. My baby boy is not so little anymore – but we are blessed to have such a funny and sweet soul with us.
