Please Help Support this Guide: When I had to find a way to support my website I had 2 choices. I could use modern advertising technology like most sites use with pay-per-click ads all over my pages and spy-ware that collects information and posts the ads each individual reader is most likely to click on. Or I could choose to promote a handful of travel agents, and a reliable hotel booking system and keep my sites relatively ad free. No obnoxious pop-ups, fake news articles, or gathering of information through cookies. I chose the second. But it was risky. My ability to support myself would depend on the success of the travel agents and hotels on my website and for 24 years this worked. But then came COVID-19 and the bookings stopped. I could join the crowd and place pay-per-click ads on every page of my site as a temporary measure to generate some income. But to be honest I think it ruins even the best websites. And to install technology that spies on my readers seems like a betrayal even though pretty much everybody does it. So instead I ask you readers who enjoy my sites if you can send a donation through Paypal any amount is helpful.

About this Guide...

Matt at Deux Magots ParisFor those who have used my Greece Travel Guides and my Athens Survival Guide and have asked me why I don't make travel guides to other places like Rick Steves does, the answer is because I don't travel as much as Rick and I don't have as much money to travel as Rick. But because there is a non-stop to Paris from my home in Raleigh-Durham I do visit Paris on my way to and from Greece and with the help of some of my friends who live in France I have created this Guide to Paris. My Paris Guide combines my experiences and photos with their knowledge of the city. If you are going to France this year or only in your dreams I think you will find this travel guide enjoyable and helpful too.

You can choose from over 700 hotels, apartments and homes in and around Paris, read reviews, find hotel location maps, get discounted rates and lots of valuable information on my Paris Hotels Booking Page which helps support my Paris Guide. You can also help support this site by sharing it with your friends and whatever travel groups or social media you are involved in. If you are appreciative of all the free information you get on my websites you can send a donation through Paypal. Or you can use Venmo at venmo.com/Matt-Barrett-Greece.
