Author of Weekend In Paris and avid world traveller who is obsessed with Paris, Priscilla Pilon is the Travel Editor for The Daily Basics and is a Travel Specialist for MyGola.com. She is a social Media Consultant who wants others to succeed in business and in life. Wife and mother of two almost grown boys and one lazy, but adorable labrador (non) retriever.
A true American Francophile, I understand the French language way more than I can speak it. At least I always try to use my limited French first before the waiter or salesperson gives up on me and answers in English. I am One Quarter French and therefore One Quarter Skinny!
I lived in Europe for years, and now (in addition to my extensive North American travel) travel to Europe (always stopping in Paris) and have done so for 20 years. There are “musts” to do or see, but I always add something new or challenging. By adding new people each time to this adventure it also helps to keep the trip exciting. I love seeing the look on people’s faces when they see the Eiffel Tower the first time or when they light a candle at Notre Dame. It never gets old!
My travel lifestyle varies greatly depending upon my travel companions (family, friends or business associates) and situations. My trips can have me staying in luxury accommodations that I favor like The Four Seasons brand or I might need the convenience of an inexpensive but good location at a Marriott Courtyard. All travel is fabulous to me, so come along for the ride and I will share my favorite places and tips with you.
Bon voyage!

Hello Priscilla,
Would it be possible to contact you by mail to submit an article.
Thank you for your feed back.
Have a nice day.
Hi Thomas,
I just looked at your site and did not see an option to switch the language to English. I think that if you had an option for this, my readers might benefit from an article about your company.
Hi Priscilla,
I saw that you’re following me on twitter, which is what prompted this (most interesting) visit to your blog. It’s great — and I’m just sorry that you don’t live here year round!
Next time you’re in Paris, please drop me a line if you’d like to go on a Treasure Hunt at the Louvre. That’s what my company, THATLou, does.
Kind regards,
Daisy
Will do Daisy.
Love your blog! If you ‘d like to guest post for us, we’d love it! And, if you ever want a guest post for your blog, we’d love that, too!
Have a great weekend.

Bonjour,
Je suis vos tweets depuis un moment et aimerais m’entretenir avec vous au téléphone car je dirige un club de dégustation MUSIQUE&VIN qui organise 2 soirées tous les 2 mois chez Angelina et dans un loft dans le 8eme arrondissement.
Nous organisons aussi un tour en Bourgogne assez original en avril prochain.
Voici notre site http://www.musique-et-vin.fr.

What fun to stumble on your website. My precious gal pals
are planning a trip to Paris in September, and I love your tips. My
biz is barge cruises in France and am currently planning a “Ladies
on the Loose” barge cruise in Burgundy. Love that there are other
“gal pals” out there enjoying life.
Hi Beth,
Thrilled that you wrote in! Love the Ladies on the Loose concept for sure. The Gal Pals might just have to take a barge cruise on our next jaunt!
Keep reading and chiming in with your comments.
Cheers,
Priscilla

Hi Beth,
I am going to be posting some great recommendations next week when I have a bit more time. Thanks for continuing to read the blog and I can’t wait to hear about your next trip to Paris in the fall. It’s the best time of year weather wise and people-watching wise!
