About your Paris expert
Meet Lily Heise
Hi, I’m Lily! Originally from Canada, I fell madly in love with Paris while studying here over 20 years ago and I sort of never left. For the last 10 years or so I’ve been working as a travel writer and occasional tour guide, which is how I’ve gotten to know the city REALLY well.
When I’m not behind my computer writing about the city for Love and Paris and other local and international publications, I’m tracking down hidden gems, new boutiques, and cool local hangouts – and I’m sharing ALL my favorite spots with you in the Paris Itineraries.
