Welcome to Yes Yes Paris — a site created for people who love Paris and want advice they can actually use.
I’m Dorian. For more than 20 years, I’ve worked in online travel. At first, I wasn’t writing guides — I was the Technical Director of France Hotel Guide, making sure thousands of visitors could find and book the right hotels. Over time, I became an associate in the company.
In early 2024, we launched Forever Paris to share practical, insider tips with travelers who were tired of glossy clichés. In August 2025, Forever Paris became Yes Yes Paris — a site focused on helping you enjoy Paris the smart way.
Why Trust Me
I’ve lived in Paris, I’ve worked in the travel industry for two decades, and I’ve personally tested experiences from Seine cruises to museum passes.
But most importantly: I know what travelers actually need.
- I’ve traveled to 50+ countries.
- I know the feeling of preparing for a trip, comparing options, wondering what’s worth it and what’s not.
- That’s the perspective I bring to Yes Yes Paris: I give you the details that matter when you’re planning.
This isn’t a site made for algorithms. It’s made for real people like you.
A Team Effort
I don’t work alone. I’ve been collaborating with Mona for over 20 years — we first worked together at France Hotel Guide, and she remains a trusted partner today.
We also bring in contributors when needed, but every article, recommendation, and resource is reviewed by me before it goes live.
My Values
Here’s what you can expect from Yes Yes Paris:
- Reliable → I check and update information regularly.
- Honest → If something isn’t worth your time, I’ll say it.
- Accessible → Clear, simple advice that anyone can follow.
- Traveler’s perspective → I write as someone who has planned dozens of trips myself.
Why Yes Yes Paris Exists
Not everyone can come to Paris often — and some may only get one chance in a lifetime. That’s why I created Yes Yes Paris: to help you make the most of it, with clear, tested advice.
On this website, you’ll find the essential guides and recommendations. The things I believe every Paris visitor should know, without the noise.
Social media gives you a taste of Paris daily.
But the newsletter is where I share my best work — stories, tips, and insights that never appear anywhere else.
Exclusive Newsletter
Every week, I send two emails with insider Paris content you won’t find on the website or social media.
Think of it as your backstage pass to Paris: practical tips, cultural notes, and discoveries.
