Editorial Policy

 

The Secrets of Paris is an independent website dedicated to providing English-speaking Parisians (and regular visitors) with fun, useful, and interesting information about Paris.

Advertising exists to help pay for the costs of running the site, but ads do not affect editorial content, and are always clearly separated. If you subscribe to the free Secrets of Paris newsletter (emailed monthly), there are no ads in the email, and your address is never sold or given to third parties. Ever.

The Secrets of Paris is not a public service, nor does it aim to appeal to everyone. I warmly welcome everyone who appreciates this free, highly opinionated view of my adopted home. For the rest of you, I suggest a visit to the opinion-free, paid listings of the Paris Tourism Office.
