Hi, I’m Kate Weller, an American expat living in Paris.
I created Paris Smooth Arrival to help English-speaking travelers plan a smoother, safer, and more comfortable first trip to Paris.
After moving to Paris and helping friends, family, and readers navigate airport arrivals, public transportation, neighborhoods, day trips, and common travel mistakes, I started sharing the practical tips I wish I had known before my first visit.
Here, you’ll find simple, honest advice for arriving in Paris with less stress and enjoying the city with more confidence.
