What sets me Apart
1 - We will connect together by Zoom for an “itinerary conference” that is tailored to each client.
I don’t have pre-made templates that I try to sell to everyone, no matter their wishes or trip conifugration —> I adapt and innovate, and I will reflect with you during the conference as if I was part of your trip.
2 - The itinerary we build together will be realistic and enjoyable — not overly ambitious. Traveling should be fun and easy, not a race from one monument to another.
I often see influencers on Instagram promoting extremely packed itineraries that try to fit everything into a few days. In reality, that usually leads to exhaustion rather than enjoyment.
Paris has an incredible amount to offer, and the key is to prioritize. My goal is to help you focus on what truly matters for you, at a comfortable pace, so you can enjoy each moment and leave with wonderful memories.
Why you should pick Pascal Billaud for building an itinerary in Paris?
Because I am local and honest. Integrity and professionalism shape the way I work. These aren't just words—they’re the foundation of my commitment. I believe in doing great work and building real relationships starts with honesty. My ultimate goal is making it easy and safe for you to travel to my country. You will be treated the same way I want to be treated during my own travels.
Let’s talk soon!

You want to avoid the crowds and the busy touristic areas ?
Covered Passages
These 19th-century glass-roofed arcades shelter boutiques, cafés, and history. Galerie Vivienne stands out for its elegant mosaics and high-end shops; Passage des Panoramas, the oldest from 1799, features vintage stores. Try Passage Choiseul for its long, local vibe with everyday eateries and light-filled roof.
Secret Gardens
Escape to elevated or tucked-away green spaces. La Promenade Plantée, Paris's precursor to NYC's High Line, spans 4.7 km on a disused railway with treetops and city views. Parc des Buttes-Chaumont in the northeast boasts cliffs, a lake, suspension bridge by Eiffel, and panoramic vistas—ideal for picnics at Rosa Bonheur bar.
Literature Cafés
Cozy spots blending literature and beautifil authentic interior decor. Librairie Ancienne Moderne in Galerie Vivienne evokes old-world charm with rare books. In Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, pair reading with drinks at Rosa Bonheur's terrace café amid nature.
Hidden Museums
Step off the beaten path and explore Paris through its hidden museums—smaller, quieter spaces that reveal the city’s more intimate artistic soul.
Seek out the Musée Rodin, tucked behind sculpted gardens where masterpieces seem to converse with the trees, or wander through the Musée Gustave Moreau, a preserved home-studio bursting with fantastical paintings and ornate staircases. The Musée des Arts Décoratifs, embedded in the Louvre’s western wing, opens a window into centuries of design—furniture, jewelry, fashion, and more.
For a journey into elegance, discover the Musée Nissim de Camondo, a mansion frozen in time, filled with 18th‑century furnishings and family history. Lovers of sculpture can trace artistic motion at the Musée Bourdelle or the Musée Maillol, each a quiet sanctuary devoted to form and expression.
If you crave something truly whimsical, step inside the Musée des Arts Forains, a wonderland of 19th‑ and 20th‑century fairground attractions—carousels, automatons, and theatrical surprises—best experienced by booking ahead. For a panoramic break, climb the Tour Saint‑Jacques, a medieval Gothic tower offering 360° views to rival the Eiffel Tower, but without the crowds.
Paris hides countless small museums and artist houses—each one a pocket universe of history and imagination, waiting just beyond the tourist trail.
